CARE & MAINTENANCE
Care & Maintenance
As with all appliances, proper care and
maintenance will keep them in top operating
condition and prolong their life. Your new gas
barbecue is no exception. By following these
cleaning procedures on a timely basis, your
barbecue will be kept clean and working properly
with minimum effort.
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin
webs or make nests in the burner tubes during
warehousing and transit. These webs can lead to
a gas flow obstruction which could result in a fire
in and around the burner tubes.
This type of fire is known as ‘FLASH-BACK’ and
can cause serious damage to your barbecue and
create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only
cause of ‘FLASH-BACK’ it is the most common
cause and frequent inspection and cleaning of the
burner tubes is necessary.
Flash-Back
If fire occurs in and around the burner,
immediately turn off gas at its source and turn the
burner control to ‘OFF’, wait until the barbecue has
cooled, then clean the burner tubes and burner
ports. The openings at the base of the burner
provide air for combustion, they should never be
obstructed. If the flame becomes significantly
orange check these openings for a blockage.
Service
This appliance must only be serviced by an
authorised person. If the appliance cannot be
adjusted to perform correctly it should not be used
until serviced or repaired. Contact Sitro Group
Australia for spare parts and service information.
WARNING
Beware of spiders and wasps. Burner tube
should be inspected and cleaned periodically.
To avoid any flare-ups, it is recommended
that the drip tray be checked and emptied
regularly. Contents of the drip tray may be
very hot during cooking. If emptied during
extended cooking extreme caution should be
taken and direct contact by hand should be
avoided at all times. Allow to cool completely
before disposing of the contents.
