CARE AND MAINTENANCE
As with all appliances, proper care and mainte-
nance will keep them in top operating condition and
prolong their life.
Your new gas barbecue is no
exception. By following these cleaning procedures on
a timely basis, your barbecue will be kept clean and
working properly with minimum effort.
FLASH-BACK
If fire occurs in and around the burner tubes,
immediately turn off gas at its source and turn the
burner control(s) to 'OFF'. Wait until the barbecue has
cooled, then clean the burner tubes and burner ports
as described below.
CLEANING THE GRILLPLATES
After cooking, turn burner controls to 'OFF' and
let barbecue cool before attempting to clean your
grillplates.
Before first use and periodically it is suggested
that you wash the grillplates in a mild soap and warm
water solution. You can use a wash cloth, a vegetable
brush, or steel wool to clean your barbecue plates if
you desire.
CLEANING THE FLAMETAMER
Washing the flametamer after every use is not
necessary but periodically it is suggested you wash
the flametamer in a soap and warm water solution.
Use a wire brush to remove stubborn burnt on cooking
residue. Dry the flametamer thoroughly before you
re-install it in the barbecue body.
CLEANING THE FAT/GREASE DRAINING TRAY
& FAT/GREASE RECEPTACLE
The fat/grease draining tray should be emptied
and wiped down periodically and washed in a mild
detergent and warm water solution. Lining the tray
with aluminium foil will allow easier cleaning

CLEANING THE BURNER TUBES AND
BURNER PORTS (TO PREVENT FLASH-BACK)
To reduce the chance of flash-back, the procedure
below should be followed at least once a month in late
summer or early autumn when spiders are most
active, or when your barbecue has not been used for
an extended period of time.
1.
Remove grillplates, flametamer, fat/grease draining
tray and receptacle from barbecue.
2.
Remove burners from bottom of barbecue body
by pulling cotter pin from beneath burner 'foot'
using a screwdriver or needle nose pliers.
3.
Carefully lift each burner up and away from gas
valve orifice.
We suggest several different ways of cleaning the
burner tubes. Use the procedure most convenient for
you:
Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works

well) into a small hook. Run the hook through
each burner tube and into the burner several
times.
OR Using a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle
(do not use a brass wire brush), run the brush
through each burner tube and into the burner
several times.
OR Use an air hose to force air through the burner
tube and out through the burner ports. Observe
each port and make sure air comes out every
hole. Wear eye protection.
NOTE: Do not use compressed air on the injectors.
Regardless of which burner cleaning procedure
you use, we recommend that you complete the following
steps to help prolong burner life.
1.
Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to
remove food residue and dirt.
2.
Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as
an open paper clip.
3.
Inspect the burner for damage (cracks or holes)
and if such damage is found, order and install a
new burner. After installation, check to ensure
that gas valve orifices are correctly placed inside
ends of burner tubes.
