On-going Maintenance
Your BBQ requires regular maintenance (interior and exterior). The use of 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.
On-going Maintenance
Interior:
Plates and Grills
The best way to clean your BBQ plates/grills is to light-up the BBQ and leave it on with
the hood down to warm-up for 10-15 minutes. After this time, remove excess fat, oils,
cooking residue with paper towels or a cotton rag from plates/grills then take a long
handled brush and a scraper and remove remaining oil and food scraps. You should use
an oven mitt to avoid burning yourself This can also be completed after each time you
use your BBQ.
Depending on how often you use your BBQ you should also wash your plates/grills bi-
monthly. After you have completed the steps above and have allowed time for the BBQ to
cool, remove the plates/grills and wash with warm/hot soapy water. Wash off soapy water
with warm/hot clean water, leave to air dry and place back into BBQ.
