Goldair Kiwi Choice GBQKC140, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 22 / 28

•
Do not perform any repair or servicing on the BBQ yourself. This includes internal
adjustment of the regulator and gas valves. This must only be carried out by
authorised technicians. Your BBQ should be serviced annually by a certified gas
service agent.
•
Clean the drip tray regularly.
• “Burning off” the BBQ after every use (for approx 15 minutes) will keep excessive
food residue to a minimum.
•
The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the BBQ must be used.
Replacement pressure regulator and hose assembly must be those specified by the
manufacturer. Replacement parts may be obtained from the manufacturer or your
local BBQ retail specialist.
•
Storage of this BBQ indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and
removed from the BBQ.
•
Please note that the Goldair BBQ Cover (if supplied with this model) is not covered
under your Warranty. The BBQ is for portable outdoor use and is not intended for
permanent installation or installation in vehicles or boats.
Storing your BBQ
Your BBQ is designed to be used outdoors. However, just like a car, you will prolong the
life of the BBQ if you store it out of direct exposure to the elements when not in use.
This can be done in many ways including the use of a waterproof cover. These are
available from most BBQ retailers.
BBQ Covers
All
BBQ’s must be stored with a BBQ cover when not in use (regardless of whether the
BBQ is stainless steel or powder coated) as per the Warranty. After use, allow your BBQ
to cool completely before fitting the cover (the BBQ cover may melt or burn if placed onto
a hot BBQ). Also condensation can occur when the BBQ cools down under the cover
which can foster rust growth. Please note, a cover can foster a
“micro-environment”
where moisture, salts and fat deposits can develop when stored for long periods of time
(typically this will occur during the Winter months when your BBQ is not used). During
these longer periods of non-use a BBQ can develop stains and/or rust marks. It is
important to check regularly (monthly) for any signs of these stains/rust and clean if
needed. If surface stains and rust are left, over time they develop and can become very
hard to remove, this is expressly excluded from your Warranty.
•
Move the BBQ to a covered location. If you are storing it in a closed room (eg shed or
garage) you should keep the cylinder away from any other cylinders or any cars,
boats, motorcycles or any other petrol engines.
•
If you
don’t intend to use it for a few months, lightly spray all the surfaces with canola
oil. This will help protect against corrosion.
Rust on your BBQ from lack of protective agents or misuse are expressly
excluded from Warranty.
