Care and maintenance (continued)
Storing Your Barbeque:
Your barbeque is designed to be used outdoors. However, just like a car, you will prolong the
life of the appliance if you store it out of direct exposure to the elements when not in use. This
can be done in many ways:
Place a waterproof cover over it. These are available from most barbeque retailers. Use a
ventilated cover, or add a couple of sponges between the cover and the barbeque to
promote ventilation and reduce condensation.
Move the barbeque to a covered location. If you are storing it in a closed room (e.g. a shed
or a garage) then disconnect and keep the gas cylinder outdoors and away from any other
cylinders or any cars, boats, motorcycles or any other petrol engines.
If you don't intend to use it for a few months, lightly spray all surfaces with canola oil. This
will help protect against corrosion.
Servicing Your Barbeque:
Apart from cleaning, your barbeque is a fairly low maintenance item. A couple of things are
worth looking at though. Remember to turn off and disconnect the gas cylinder before any
maintenance is carried out.
If your barbeque uses a flexible hose to connect to the gas, check the rubber O-ring on the
regulator end of the hose assembly at least once a year. If it appears worn or cracked, have
it replaced.
We recommend having your barbeque checked by an authorised service agent every 5
years. This is to ensure there are no leaks and that all components are still functioning
correctly.
If you use a portable LPG gas cylinder, you will need to have the gas cylinder serviced or
replaced every ten years. The date of the last service should be stamped on the neck of the
gas cylinder.
As you can see, it's easy to keep your barbeque in great shape so it can give you years of
trouble free enjoyment.
Replacing the hose:
If there are any signs of wear or cracking in the barbeque hose(s), you need to replace them
immediately. Ensure you replace only with the correct hose and regulator purchased from
Barbeques Galore to ensure proper gas connection compatibility.
Connect the nut of the hose to the same gas inlet of the barbeque that the old one was
connected. Use two spanners to tighten it properly, one to hold the inlet, one to turn the hose nut.
Do not use sealing tape. The connection is designed to seal properly without it. Perform a leak
test as explained on page 16 before use.
Replacing the burners:
Occasionally you will need to remove your burners for cleaning or adjustment.
To replace the burner, place the open end of the burner over the gas jet at the front of the
barbeque. Then, lower the lug on the other end of the barbeque into the locating hole and screw
back into place with the original locking screw.
Cleaning the injectors:
If the burners or ignition are not working properly after a number of uses,there may be some
blockage of the injectors. When the burner is removed, the burner injector is exposed. It may be
blocked by grease or insect webs. Clean or unscrew, remove, clean replace if required.
