cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a very
dangerous condition, which can cause a fire to occur, thereby
damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate.
WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS
You should inspect the burners at least once a year or
immediately after any of the following conditions occur:
• The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames
appearing yellow.
• The BBQ does not reach temperature.
• The BBQ heats unevenly.
• The burners make popping noises.
PRIMARY AIR INLET WIDTH REQUIREMENT:
For 4 burner barbecues:
• Width for each side: 5.5~6.5mm
• Total width for two sides: 11~13mm
For 6 burner barbecues:
• Width for each side: 2~2.5mm
• Total width for two sides: 4~5mm

DRIP TRAY
After every use, check the drip tray, drip pan, and foil pan for fat
build-up. Failure to maintain these areas could result in a fat fire
or excessive flare up. This can severely damage your barbecue
and is not covered by the warranty.
BARBECUE BODY
WARNING!
Not cleaning the barbecue can pose a fire risk!
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.
END OF THE COOKING SESSION
After each cooking session, turn the BBQ burners to the "HIGH"
position and burn off for 5 minutes. This procedure will burn off
food residue, thus making cleaning easier.
STORAGE
Store your barbecue in a cool dry place. Cover the burners with
aluminium foil in order to prevent insects or other debris from
collecting in burner holes. A protective cover should always
be fitted to the barbecue to protect your investment from the
elements when not in use. If the barbecue is to be stored indoors,
the gas bottle must be disconnected and left outside. The gas
bottle should always be stored outside, in a dry, well-ventilated
area, away from any sources of heat or ignition. Do not let
children tamper with the bottle.
To protect your investment it is recommended that BBQs are
protected by a suitable BBQ cover. But please note that prior
to using a protective cover, the BBQ should always be cool,
cleaned of any surface contaminant or dirt and be thoroughly dry.
Failure to follow this information can lead to a BBQ cover being a
corrosion breeder rather than a protective tool.
NOTE:
If leaving your BBQ covered for long periods,
occasionally check for corrosion and insect habitation.
Oil surfaces for extra protection..
FLEXIBLE HOSES
Ensure that any flexible hoses do not have any twisting.
Periodically check the condition of the flexible hoses, replace if
it shows signs of decay. Do not change the routing of a flexible
hose.
SERIAL NUMBER
The serial number of your barbecue is located on the inside of the
cabinet either on the right hand door or the side panel. If you do
require any further assistance with your barbecue from your local
dealer or Masport, please have this serial number handy as it will
quickly allow us to identify the barbecue.
