CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Regularly clean your barbecue between uses and especially 
after extended periods of storage. Ensure the barbecue and its 
components are sufficiently cool before cleaning. Do not leave the 
barbecue exposed to outside weather conditions or stored in damp, 
moist areas.
• Never douse the barbecue with water when its surfaces are hot.
• Never handle hot parts with unprotected hands.
Whilst our products are made to the highest standards and all care 
is taken to make them as weather proof as possible, we cannot 
accept responsibility for rust occurring on exposed metal parts 
unless this is a result of faulty manufacture of parts.
In order to extend the life and maintain the condition of your 
barbecue, we strongly recommend that the unit is covered when 
not in use, especially during the winter months.

STAINLESS STEEL CARE AND CLEANING ADVICE

Your BBQ features Stainless Steel components. All Stainless 
Steel grades require a level of care and protection to retain their 
appearance. Stainless Steels are not immune to corrosion and 
neither are they maintenance-free, contrary to popular public 
perception. Even the highest marine grades of Stainless Steel 
require frequent cleaning to avoid oxidation and other corrosive 
issues.
Modern tastes dictate that your BBQ features Stainless Steel with a 
brushed finish. This brushed finish is attained by running Stainless 
Steel sheets through an abrasive process that removes the mirror 
finish and leaves the brushed finish. Brushed-finish Stainless 
Steel requires frequent cleaning and care, to maintain its quality of 
appearance. Without adequate care it is realistic to expect that it will 
show signs of corrosion in time.
Stainless steel is definitely not a maintenance-free material. 
Cleanliness and stainless steel are closely related. Stainless steel 
performs best when clean - cleanliness is essential for maximum 
resistance to corrosion and to maintain the good looks and life of 
your BBQ.

TYPES OF SURFACE CONTAMINANTS
Fingerprints and Stains

Fingerprints and mild stains resulting from normal use are the most 
common surface contaminates. They can be removed with a glass 
cleaner or with a soft rag. This should be followed by a thorough 
warm water rinse.

DIRT

Like any surface that is exposed to the environment especially in 
coastal areas, stainless steel can get dirty. Cleaning with warm 
water with or without a gentle detergent is sufficient. Next in 
order are mild non-scratching abrasive powders such as typical 
household cleaners. These can be used with warm water, nylon 
bristle brushes, sponges, or clean cloths. Carbon steel brushes or 
steel wool should be avoided as they may leave particles embedded 
on the surface which can lead to RUSTING. Cleaning should always 
be followed by rinsing in clean hot water.

GREASE

Grease may soil stainless steel surfaces in food preparation. These 
soils may be mildly corrosive if left or may not allow the surface 
to maintain passivity, and so regular removal is a necessity for the 
appearance.

TYPES OF CLEANERS AND METHODS

Consider the possibility of scratching and the potential for post-
cleaning corrosion caused by incompletely removed cleaners. Avoid 
using abrasive cleaners unless absolutely necessary.

CLEAN WATER AND WIPE

A soft cloth and clean warm water should always be the first choice 

for mild stains and loose dirt and soils. A final rinse with clean 
water and a dry wipe will complete the process and eliminate the 
possibility of water stains.

HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS

Household cleaners fall into two categories: detergent (non-
abrasive) and abrasive cleaners. Abrasive cleaners are more 
effective but introduce the possibility of scratching the surface. A 
neutral cleaner low in chloride is essential. The cleaning method 
generally employed with these cleaners is to apply them to the 
stainless surface and follow by cloth wiping in the direction of the 
grain or polish lines (not across them). The cleaned surface should 
be thoroughly rinsed with clean water and wiped dry with a soft 
cloth if water streaking is a consideration.

CAST IRON COOKING SURFACES

Before cooking with the grill, flat plate or deep dish (if supplied with 
your BBQ) clean these with hot soapy water to remove any oil or 
residue from the packaging or manufacturing process. Wash with 
clean water and let the plates dry naturally. Prior to lighting your 
BBQ place them back into the BBQ. Then after lighting your BBQ, 
let the plates warm up slowly over a period of 30 minutes, during 
this time increasing the heat. You will notice slight vapors rise from 
the plates, this is natural as residues are burned off. Turn off your 
BBQ to allow the plate to cool slightly. The plates can now be 
prepared with the addition of cooking oil. Take care that the plates 
are not at a temperature where adding the oil will cause a hazard. 
Brush the oil over the plate, allowing the oil to be absorbed into the 
surface. Allow the plate to fully cool, then remove any excess oil. the 
BBQ is now ready. Repeat the above to keep the plate and grill in a 
ready condition after each BBQ session.

PORCELAIN ENAMEL COOKING SURFACES

Porcelain Enamel surfaced items should be treated with care and 
should not be cleaned with an abrasive cleaner or scratchy cleaning 
item. Surfaces will crack or chip if hit or dropped. Porcelain Enamel 
surfaces should NOT be regarded as ‘Non-stick’, use of cooking 
oil is required as normal. Food will likely stick to an overheated or 
un-oiled enamel surface. The surface will be more easily cleaned by 
first soaking overnight.

BURNER MAINTENANCE

Provided that they are operating correctly, in normal usage, burning 
off the residue after cooking will keep the burners clean. The 
burners should be removed and cleaned annually, or whenever 
heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of 
blockage (debris, insects) in either the burner portholes, the primary 
air inlet, or the neck of the stainless steel burners. Use a pipe 
cleaner to clear obstructions. When refitting the burners, be careful 
to check they are positioned as follows. The neck of the burner fits 
over the valve outlet, the top flaps of the gas collector boxes fit over 
the top surfaces of the burners.

CLEANING THE BURNER ASSEMBLY

Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner 
assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.
1.  Turn gas off at control knobs and LPG Tank.
2.  Remove cooking grates, grease tray and grease cup.
3.  Remove screw at end of burner using a screwdriver.
4.  Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
5.  Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food 

residue and dirt.

6.  Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper 

clip.

7.  Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion 

some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes 
are found replace burner.

8.  Carefully refit burners.
9.  Replace screw at the end of the burner.
10.  Replace grease tray and cooking grates.
