Maintenance
CLEANING
All cleaning and maintenance should be
carried out when the appliance is cool and
with the fuel supply turned OFF at the gas
cylinder after each time use.
DO NOT mistake brown or black
accumulation of grease and smoke for paint.
Interiors of gas BBQs are not painted at
the factory (and should NEVER be painted).
Apply a strong solution of detergent and
water or use a BBQ cleaner with scrub brush
on insides of BBQ lid and bottom. Rinse and
allow to completely air dry.
DO NOT apply a caustic BBQ / oven cleaner
to painted surfaces.
DO NOT use abrasive or flammable cleaners,
as it will damage the parts of the product and
may start a fire.
PLASTIC PARTS
Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
BBQ BODY
Lack of maintenance / cleaning, can lead
to the BBQ rust. To keep the barbecues
beautiful and long lasting, it is recommended
to use mild detergents and hot water. Wipe
the surface with a non-abrasive wash cloth.
Acid-free oil is recommended to avoid rust.
COOKING GRIDS and flame tamer
Use a mild soapy water solution. Non-abrasive
scouring powder can be used on stubborn
stains, then rinse with water. Make sure the
cooking grids are well dried before storage.
INSECTS AND VERMIN
After long-term storage, insects and other
vermin can be found in the BBQ. If you
experience problems with lighting or irregular
flames, it can be due to unwanted guests
blocking the gas supply.
• Remove the burners and clean these on
suspicion of pests in the grill. Reassemble
the burners when completely dry.
•
Check regularly that the gas hose is not
damaged.
Keep the barbecue body and the accessories clean to avoid grease fire.
IN CASE OF GREASE FIRE
In case of grease fire, close the gas supply and
disconnect the controller and wait until the fire
goes out by itself.
FIRES CAUSE BY FAT, WILL DAMAGE
THE METAL. DAMAGE TO THE BBQ
CAUSED BY GREASE FIRES ARE NOT
COVERED BY THE WARRANTY AS IT
IS DUE TO INCORRECT USE.
NEVER USE WATER TO EXTINGUISH
A GREASE FIRE! CLEAN THE BBQ
REGULARLY TO AVOID GREASE FIRE
