To get many years of service out of your barbecue, perform the following proce-
dures at least once a year, especially at the start of a new season.
Grill: Apply a light coating of cooking oil to the grill to prevent food from sticking.
After each use, and after the grill has cooled down, scrub the grill with a non-abra-
sive brush. Alternatively, you can wash the grill with a mild detergent or baking
soda, but do not use a commercial oven cleaner.
Burner and Venturi Tube: At a minimum of twice a year, it is important to remove
the burner and venturi tube and clean them, making sure that all dirt and rust is
removed. Use a wire to clean out the hole in the venturi tube. Make sure the bot-
tom housing is clean and all holes are clear. If the burner has been damaged or has
rusted, replace it as soon as possible. If the burner is in good shape, reinstall it in the
correct position. Also ensure that the venturi tube is centred over the valve outlet.
When the outdoor cooking season is over and you're going to store the unit for the
winter, please do the following:
After removing and cleaning the burner and grill (lightly oil
•
the grill after cleaning) wrap them in paper and store indoors.
The barbecue, after being covered, can be stored outdoors.
•
Do not store the L.P. cylinder in an enclosed area.
•
When the barbecue is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the cylinder valve.
The barbecue and cylinder need to be stored outdoors, in well-ventilated area. Do
not store the barbecue in a garage or near heat. If there is a need for the barbecue
to be stored indoors, remove the cylinder. Continue to store the cylinder outside
in the well-ventilated area and make sure the cylinder's safety cap is firmly
threaded on the valve.
