After each cooking session, turn the barbecue burners to the HIGH position and burn for 5
minutes. This procedure will burn off cooking residue, thus making cleaning easier. The lid
must be off or open during this procedure.
Turning off your Barbecues
When you have finished using your barbecue, turn off the gas at the cylinder, and then
ensure that all the control valves are turned to the OFF position in sequence starting from the
right hand and moving to the left hand side of the unit.
Wait until the barbecue is sufficiently cool before closing it's lid.
5. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Maintenance
Clean your barbecue periodically between uses and especially after extended periods of storage.
NEVER douse the barbecue with water when it's surfaces are hot
5.1 Care of Burners (see Fig B)
Ensure that there are no signs of blockage (e.g. debris, insects,
etc.) in either the burner portholes, the primary air inlet, or
the neck of stainless steel burners. Use compressed air or
pipe cleaner wire to clear obstructions. A soft Scouring
pad (3MScotchbrite) can be used to remove burned o n
drippings on the burner. Do not use any steel based brush
or scouring pad.Place burner upright in sun to dry properly
before fitting back into BBQ. WE RECOMMEND THAT THIS
SHOULD BE DONE AFTER EVERY COOKING SESSION IN
COASTAL AREAS. Taking care of your barbecue will prolong
its lifespan.
5.2 Cast Iron Grill and Solid Plate
The grills and solid plates of some upmarket units are covered with a non-corrosive vitreous
(baked enamel) finish and can be cleaned with hot water and soap with a green 3M scouring
pad or soft brush. Clean, dry and place back in position on barbecue.
Raw or non-coated grids and solid plates can be cleaned with hot water and soap and a
copper/brass bristled brush (never use a steel brush) or a green 3M scouring pad. Dry
thoroughly after washing, then lightly coat the cast iron plates and grids with cooking oil and
brush in – this will assist in the prevention of corrosion and rust.
5.3 Drip Tray
You can either cover the drip tray with a thin layer of sand and clean periodically, or you can
cover the drip tray with aluminium foil – this makes cleaning easier.
6. STORAGE
6.1 Fixings
Annual checking and tightening of metal fixings is recommended
6.2 Storage
Store your barbecue in a cool dry place. After having cleaned burners and coated with oil,
cover them with aluminium foil in order to prevent insects and other debris collecting in burner
holes. THE GAS CYLINDER SHOULD BE DISCONNECTED AND STORED OUTDOORS OR IN A
WELL VENTILATED AREA.
When using the barbecue after extended periods of storage, please take note once again of
the care, maintenance and safety instructions.
