PERIODIC CLEANING
Your BBQ will look better and last longer if you keep it clean.
You should check the burners periodically for any sort of blockage. To do this, remove and inspect them. If any
of the holes are clogged, gently tap the burner onto a hard surface to remove residue. Use a wire brush to
unclog the holes.
Grease can build up on the frame itself. Most of it can be cleaned off with hot water. Use a non-caustic cleanser
for more stubborn stains.
You should empty the fat / drip tray frequently. Never touch the fat / drip tray until the BBQ and fat have cooled
down completely.
ABNORMAL OPERATION
Abnormal operation which may require service can be identified by the following:
1/ A yellow burner flame
2/ A thick, black build-up of soot.
3/ Control valves that seize or are difficult to turn.
4/ Burners which are difficult to light.
If the BBQ fails to operate correctly, contact an authorised service person for repair.
BURNER MAINTENANCE
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 BBQ has not been used for a period of
time.
1. Turn all burners’ valves to the full OFF position.
2. Turn the LPG cylinder valve (clockwise) to the full OFF position.
3. Detach the regulator assembly from the LPG cylinder.
4. Remove the warming rack, cast iron grill, hotplate and drip tray from your grill.
5. Remove all burners from the bottom of the grill by unscrewing the screw at the end of the burner using a
philips head screwdriver.
6. Carefully lift each burner up and away from the gas valve orifice.
7.
Refer to figure below and perform one of these three cleaning methods.
Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger works well) into a small hook as shown below. Run the hook
through the burner tube and inside the burner several times to remove any debris.
Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle. Run the brush through the burner tube and inside the burner several
times, removing any debris.
Use an air hose to force air through each burner tube. The forced air should pass debris or obstructions through
the burner and out the ports.
