On-going Maintenance
Your BBQ requires regular maintenance (interior and exterior). The use on a BBQ cover in
conjunction with the instructions below will help to ensure it remains in proper working
order and maintains 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 BBQ’s 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.
Powder Coated 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 in the sun if possible. Once dry, use a BBQ exterior cleaner, this will apply a protective
coating on the exterior of the BBQ and assist in repelling the elements. Always you 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 powder coated finish resulting in an uneven
surface and may result in rusting in the future.
