CLEANING AND CARE
The cleaning and care instructions are essential for the
proper functioning and operation of your appliance over time.
Failure to adhere to these care instructions may affect your
ability to make a claim under the manufacturer’s warranty.
Cleaning Enamel burner box
Although porcelain enamel will keep its lustrous finish even
under adverse conditions, it still needs regular cleaning.
After the appliance has been used, wash down the surfaces
with hot soapy water. Caustic cleaners should be avoided.
For barbecues near the ocean or salt-water environment,
more frequent cleaning and servicing should be conducted.
Wash regularly, rinse and then dry before covering. (In a salt
water or marine environment, more rapid deterioration can
be expected which is not covered by warranty).
Cleaning Plates and Grills
Many food acids, marinades, juices and sauces contain
highly acidic elements that will slowly attack the surface of
the plates and grills if not removed after cooking.
• After use, remove all solid material from the cooking
surfaces using a brass bristle brush or plastic scourer.
Brushes specifically designed for this purpose can
be purchased from your BeefEater retailer. Wipe off
remaining residue with a paper towel.
• Wash the surface of the grills with a soft sponge and
a solution of hot water and a mild dishwashing liquid.
Do not use highly caustic, harsh or abrasive chemical
cleaners to clean the cooking grills. Always check the
manufacturer’s recommendations for the cleaner prior
to use.
• Coat the grills with a layer of cooking oil. This will help
protect the surfaces between uses.
Cleaning the grease tray
Never remove the grease tray while the barbecue is hot.
Always remove and clean the grease tray after the unit has
cooled down.
Replace aluminium foil drip tray and clean grease tray at
regular intervals to prevent grease build-up. Otherwise, a
grease fire could result and void the barbecue warranty.
Cleaning the control panel and hood
Wash the surfaces of the control panel and hood with a soft
sponge and a solution of hot water and a mild dishwashing
liquid. Do not use highly caustic, harsh or abrasive chemical
cleaners or scouring pads as these will damage the surface
of the panels.
Cleaning the Burners
• Check main opening of burner regularly for insect nests
(eg. wasp, ants or spiders). Nests are dangerous and
must be cleaned out thoroughly.
• Remove burners periodically and scrub clean with soapy
water and a wire brush making sure that the ports are
free of obstructions.
Replace burners in the correct position and dry by lighting
each one to avoid subsequent corrosion.
WARNING
CAUTION
A clogged burner can lead to a fire beneath the grill.
Inspecting the hose and Regulator Assembly and Cylinder
• Inspect the hose and regulator assembly for abrasion,
aging or any damage that may result in a gas leak at
periodic intervals, at least once a year, and whenever
replacing a cylinder.
Replace the assembly if necessary to ensure safe
operation.
After connecting the assembly to a cylinder always
carry out a leak check.
Only connect the appliance to cylinders that are
current according to the date marking on the cylinder.
Storing your Barbecue
When storing barbecue for extended periods, be certain all
controls and cylinder valves are turned off.
Gas cylinders must be stored outdoors, out of reach of
children and must not be stored in a building, garage or any
other enclosed area.
The barbecue should be covered when not in use.
A barbecue cover is available as an accessory.
The gas cylinder supply valve must be turned off when the
appliance is not in use.
