• KEEP BARBECUE AREA CLEAR AND
FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERI-
ALS, GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMA-
BLE VAPOURS AND LIQUIDS.
• DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF AIR
FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION.
• KEEP THE VENTILATION OPENINGS OF
THE CYLINDER ENCLOSURE CABINET
FREE AND CLEAR OF DEBRIS.
• VISUALLY CHECK BURNER FLAMES
OCCASIONALLY TO ENSURE PROPER
FLAME PATTERN AS SHOWN BELOW.
• FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN A
HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHICH, IF
NOT AVOIDED, MAY RESULT IN
INJURY.

Burning-off excess food after every cookout will keep it ready for
instant use. However, at least every three months you must give
the entire barbecue a thorough cleaning to minimise your risk of
grease fire and keep the barbecue in top condition.
Follow these steps:
1.
Turn all burner valves to the full
‘OFF’
position.
2.
Turn the gas off at the source.
3.
Inspect hoses for cracking, cuts or any other damage, and
replace as necessary.
6.
Scrape and wipe off excess fat and food particles from the
barbecue panels.
NOTE:
Do not brush of scrape the burner
surfaces. This will cause damage.
If burners become blocked, contact place of
purchase or manufacture to arrange service.

• BEWARE OF SPIDERS.
BURNER TUBES SHOULD BE
INSPECTED AND CLEANED
PERIODICALLY.
• SPIDERS AND SMALL INSECTS CAN
OCCASIONALLY SPIN WEBS OR MAKE
NESTS IN THE BURNER TUBES.
THESE WEBS CAN LEAD TO A GAS
FLOW OBSTRUCTION WHICH COULD
RESULT IN A FIRE IN AND AROUND
THE BURNER TUBES.
• THIS TYPE OF FIRE IS KNOWN AS
‘FLASH-BACK’ AND CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR
BARBECUE AND CREATE AN UNSAFE
OPERATING CONDITION FOR THE
USER.
• ALTHOUGH AN OBSTRUCTED BURNER
TUBE IS NOT THE ONLY CAUSE OF
‘FLASH-BACK’ IT IS THE MOST
COMMON CAUSE AND FREQUENT
INSPECTION AND CLEANING OF THE
BURNER TUBES IS NECESSARY.
We recommend that you minimise the barbecue’s exposure to
the elements. High moisture content in the air
(rain, mist, salt
spray etc.)
can affect metal components and lead to material
breakdown. If left in an area subjected to high moisture
content, we strongly recommend that you observe the
cleaning procedure on a regular basis and cover the appliance
whilst not in use
(covers are available as an optional extra)
.
Material breakdown from high moisture conditions can be
avoided if the appliance is well protected from the weather
and regular cleaning is carried out.
