CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Regularly clean your barbecue between uses
and especially after extended periods of storage.
• Ensure the barbecue and its components are
sufficiently cool before cleaning.
• Do not leave the barbecue exposed to outside
weather conditions or stored in damp, moist
areas.
• Never douse the barbecue with water when its
surfaces are hot.
• Never handle hot parts with unprotected hands.
• In order to extend the life and maintain the
condition of your barbecue, we strongly
recommend that the unit is covered when left
outside for any length of time, especially during
the winter months.
• IMPORTANT – We recommend that servicing of
this barbecue should be performed either after
every 100 hours of use or annually, whichever is
achieved soonest.
• Change the flexible tube when the national
conditions require it.
CAUTION
If you smell gas – turn off the barbecue,
extinguish all flames, open the barbecue
hood.
If the odour continues, immediately contact
your gas supplier. In the event of an
uncontrollable fire, immediately disconnect
the gas cylinder moving it away from fire
and contact the fire services. DO NOT PUT
YOURSELF AT RISK!
Ensure aerosols are not used near this
barbecue when in use.
Ensure all packaging and plastic bags are
disposed of safely.
Cooking Grill (4)
• Clean with hot soapy water.
• To remove any food residue, use a mild cream
cleaner on a non-abrasive pad.
• Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
Burner (6) Maintenance
• In normal usage, burning off the residue after
cooking will keep the burners clean.
• The burners should be cleaned annually, or
whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure
that there are no signs of blockage (debris,
insects) in either the burner portholes or the
venturi tubes of the burners fitted over the valve
outlets. A blocked burner can lead to a fire
beneath the grill.
• Visually inspect the operation of the burners.
See figure below showing correct burning. There
should be flame from all portholes.
Vapour Bar (5)
• Clean the vapour bar with soap and warm water
using a low abrasive cleaning cloth or sponge!
Grease cup (11)
• IMPORTANT – Check and clean the grease tray
regularly before every use and replace if
necessary. Do not allow the fat residue to build
up in the tray.
• NEVER use without grease cup in position.
Barbecue Body (9)
• Regularly remove excess grease or fat from the
barbecue body with a soft plastic or wooden
scraper.
• It is not necessary to remove all the grease from
the body. If you need to clean fully, use hot
soapy water and a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush
only.
• Remove cooking surfaces and burners before
full cleaning.
• Do not immerse the gas controls or manifold in
water.
• Check burner operation after carefully refitting
into body.
•
Fixings
• All screws and bolts, etc. should be checked and
tightened on a regular basis.
