• Make sure there is no damage to the burners (cracks or holes). Replace the burner if
damage is found.
• Reinstall the burners and make sure the gas valve's mouth piece is fi rmly in the right
position in the burner tube.
• Inspect the fl ames at the burner. A good fl ame should be blue with a yellow tip. If
fl ames are excessively yellow and irregular, oil residue and food deposits may be
collecting on the burner. Try cleaning the burner surface and the holes to improve the
fl ames. Bad fl ames may also be caused by poor gas valve.
CLEANING THE GRILL RACK
• Do not use sharp objects to clean the grill rack, since its surface can be damaged.
• It is not necessary to clean the grill rack after each use. Let the barbecue burn at max
power for about 5 minutes after grilling is fi nished and then remove the residue with
a brush. Then wipe with paper towels.
• However, the grill rack must occasionally be carefully cleaned. Use mild soap and
water. Rinse with clean water and let it dry.
• Before barbecuing, you can oil the grill rack with cooking oil so that the grill items do
not stick.
CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY
Grease collects in the drip tray during barbecuing. Therefore, the drip tray must be clea-
ned regularly, preferably after each barbecuing. If the drip tray is not cleaned regularly,
the grease may ignite during barbecuing.
INFORMATION ON STAINLESS STEEL
A common misconception about stainless steel is that it cannot oxidise, which is inaccurate.
All steel can oxidise if the conditions for oxidation are right. However, stainless steel has
a higher resistance to oxidation than non-stainless steel. This means that even stainless
steel must be maintained to prevent oxidation and other corrosion. If not maintained, it
is normal for the barbecue to suff er from so called red oxide. This is considered normal
and is not grounds for complaint.
CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL
• Start by wiping the surface with a damp cloth and a mild soap. The surface must be
clean and free of dirt and grease. Dry with a dry cloth.
• If the barbecue has gotten surface rust, you can use a light polish, Autosol, on a cloth
and polish the surface until the surface rust disappears. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.
• To protect the surface, you can spray a thin layer of 5-56 or WD-40, two universal remedies
to loosen red oxide and protect against moisture. Apply the product with a cloth so that
you have an even coat.
• NOTE! These products must not come in contact with the barbecue's painted surfaces
or surfaces that come in contact with food.
