Cleaning &
maintenance
Burning at maximum heat for approximately 5-10
minutes is recommended after each use to clean the
cooking surface Remnants of food and grease can
then removed using a brush You should use an oven
mitt to avoid burning yourself Then recoat the plate
with cooking oil for continued protection
NOTE
The cooking surface should be coated with cooking
oil if the oven is not to be used for a longer period of
time Failure to do this will result in a layer of rust on
the surface
Caring for the oven
Your oven should be kept clean to prevent
deterioration and it will look better and last longer if
you keep the oven clean
The oven should be regularly cleaned and be
protected by a fitted cover when not in use Clean the
oven thoroughly on a regular basis, and cover it with
a thin layer of neutral oil (acid free oil)
Grease can build up on the frame itself Most of it
can be cleaned off with hot water Use a non-caustic
cleanser for morestubborn stains
Movable parts such as the hinges, wheel nuts and
doors should be sprayed with a lubricant
Reminder
Always ensure that the appliance has cooled down
before cleaning Hot surfaces may cause serious
burns or injuries If appliance is still hot, use oven
mitts to protect your hands
Oven Maintenance
Apart from cleaning, your BB Qis a fairly low
maintenance appliance Below are a couple of
things worth looking at though Remember to turn off
and disconnect the gas before any maintenance is
carried out
• If your oven 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 the flexible hose is 800mm in
length
• We recommend having your oven checked
by an authorized 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 gas cylinder, you will need
to have the cylinder serviced or replaced every
ten years The date of the last service should be
stamped on the neck of the bottle
• Keep the outdoor oven area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapours or liquids
• Make sure there is no obstruction surrounding
the oven, which may block the flow of
combustion and ventilation air
• To maintain the surface of your hotplate, it is
recommended to keep the hotplate plate oiled
at all times and covered when not in use A
oven cover is also recommended to protect your
oven from all weather conditions
