To reduce the chance of flash-back, the procedure below should
be followed at least once a month in late summer or early autumn
when spiders are most active, or when your barbecue has not
been used for an extended period of time.
1. Remove grill plates, flame tamers, fat/grease draining tray
from barbecue body.
2. Remove burners from bottom of barbecue body by
unscrewing the burner securing screw at the burner ‘foot’
using a screwdriver.
3. Carefully lift each burner up and away from gas valve orifice.
We suggest several different ways of cleaning the burner tubes.
Use the procedure most convenient for you:
Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well) into
a small hook. Run the hook through each burner tube and
into the burner several times.
CLEANING THE BURNER TUBES AND
BURNER PORTS (TO PREVENT FLASH-BACK)
OR Using a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not
use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each burner
tube and into the burner several times.
OR Use an air hose to force air through the burner tube and out
through the burner ports. Observe each port and make sure
air comes out every hole. Wear eye protection.
NOTE: Do not use compressed air with injectors.
Regardless of which burner cleaning procedure you use, we
recommend that you complete the following steps to help prolong
burner life.
1. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food
residue and dirt.
2. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open
paper clip.
3. Inspect the burner for damage
(cracks or holes)
and if such
damage is found, order and install a new burner. After
installation, check to ensure that gas valve orifices are
correctly placed inside ends of burner tubes. Also check
position of spark electrode.
If fire occurs in and around the burner tubes, immediately turn off
gas at its source and turn the burner control(s) to
‘OFF’ . Wait
until the barbecue has cooled, then clean the burner tubes and
burner ports as described, opposite.
FLASH-BACK
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.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
After cooking, turn burner controls to ‘OFF’ and let
barbecue cool before attempting to clean your cooking plates.
Before first use and periodically it is suggested that you
wash the cooking plates in a mild soap and warm water solution.
You can use a wash cloth, a vegetable brush, or steel wool to
clean your barbecue plates if you desire.
CLEANING THE COOKING PLATES
Washing the flame tamer after every use is not necessary but
periodically it is suggested you clean off any build-up of
food residue. Use a wire brush to remove stubborn burnt on
cooking residue.
Dry the flame tamer thoroughly before re-installing it into
the barbecue body.
NOTE: Flame tamers are coated with a ceramic
material which can be easily damaged if not handled
with care.
CLEANING THE FLAME TAMER
The fat/grease draining tray should be emptied and wiped down
periodically and washed in a mild detergent and warm water
solution. Lining the tray with aluminium foil will enable easier
cleaning.
NOTE: Fat / grease fires are not covered by warranty.
CLEANING THE FAT / GREASE DRAINING TRAY
Follow the instructions provided on page 7.
