CARE & MAINTENANCE Care & Maintenance As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance 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. Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the burner tubes during warehousing and transit. These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruction which could result in a fire in and around the burner tubes. This type of fire is known as ‘FLASH-BACK’ and can cause serious damage to your barbecue and create an unsafe operating condition for the user. Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of ‘FLASH-BACK’ it is the most common cause and frequent inspection and cleaning of the burner tubes is necessary. Flash-Back If fire occurs in and around the burner, immediately turn off gas at its source and turn the burner control to ‘OFF’, wait until the barbecue has cooled, then clean the burner tubes and burner ports. The openings at the base of the burner provide air for combustion, they should never be obstructed. If the flame becomes significantly orange check these openings for a blockage. Service This appliance must only be serviced by an authorised person. If the appliance cannot be adjusted to perform correctly it should not be used until serviced or repaired. Contact Sitro Group Australia for spare parts and service information. WARNING Beware of spiders and wasps. Burner tube should be inspected and cleaned periodically.
