THE EVOLUTION OF PORTABLE OUTDOOR COOKING
CLEANING & STORAGE
EXTERNAL CLEANING
Before cleaning the barbecue exterior, ensure the appliance has cooled and is safe to touch. Painted and plastic surfaces
can be cleaned using a mild household detergent or cleaner and a clean cloth (do not use scourers or harsh detergents).
It is advisable to test cleaners on a small section of the appliance first. NEVER use paint thinners or similar solvents for
cleaning and NEVER pour cold water over hot surfaces. Dry the surface afterwards.
INTERNAL CLEANING
Before cleaning the internal parts of your barbecue, ensure the appliance has cooled and is safe to touch. The open grill
and charcoal support rack can be removed and cleaned by using some water, mild detergent and a sponge or mild
scouring pad. Let them dry before replacing them in the barbecue.
The black enamelled interior surfaces should be cleaned using a damp sponge or mild non-metallic scouring pad, and
some mild detergent. The majority of the oil and ash should be scraped away from the top of the burner, and the
remainder cleaned using a damp sponge or mild scouring pad, and some mild detergent. For hard to clean areas, use a
little baking soda on a wet sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Clean the fat tray and replace the foil lining
STORAGE
When the appliance is not in use, the cylinder valve must be turned OFF, the appliance and the cylinder together must be
stored outdoors in a well ventilated area. However it is permissible to store the appliance (but not the cylinder) indoors.
Ensure the hot plate is clean before storing away.
WARNING: STORE CYLINDER IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
When the gas cylinder is disconnected, replace the plug or cap on the valve outlet.
For extended storage it is suggested that the primary air port of the burner be covered against the penetration of insects
or vermin. Spiders and small insects can spin webs or nest in the burner, which could lead to obstruction in the gas and
air flow, resulting in a fire in an around the burner. This type of fire is called a flash-back and can cause serious damage
to your barbecue and create an unsafe operating condition. To prevent this, regularly inspect and clean the burner. An
Everdure barbecue cover can be placed over the appliance for extra protection, and to reduce this.
Solid fuels should be stored as recommended by the manufacturers. Keep dry and do not store indoors.
