CLEANING AND CARE OF YOUR BARBEQUE
Ongoing Maintenance
Your BBQ requires regular maintenance (interior and exterior) to ensure it remains in proper working order and
to maintain its appearance.
Exterior:
Stainless Steel BBQ’s
Overtime grease, fat and other cooking oils may build up on your BBQ. To clean, wash with warm/hot soapy
water. Wash off soapy water with warm/hot clean water, leave to air dry. Apply a stainless steel BBQ protector
to stainless steel surfaces. This will apply a protective coating on the exterior of the BBQ and assist in repelling
the elements.
Stainless steel will rust if you do not look after it properly
From time to time spotting may occur on the exterior of your BBQ. This is normal and is due to moisture and/or
other elements becoming trapped under the cover of your BBQ and building up (it is highly recommended that
all BBQs are stored under an eve with a cover to protect against the harsh New Zealand elements
– any BBQ
not stored and covered correctly will not be covered under warranty). To ensure that spotting and discoloration
does not become worse and more visible resulting in permanent damage to your BBQ, it should be cleaned
and removed straight away. This is best done with a stainless steel cleaner/cutback solution, or if the spotting is
larger and harder to remove, use a stainless steel/metal polish and then a cleaner/solution. Always use a soft
cloth to clean your BBQ.
Never use abrasive heavy duty sponges or scouring pads on the exterior of your BBQ, these products will
begin to remove the stainless steel finish resulting in an uneven surface and faster rusting in the future.
