On-going Maintenance
Interior:
Plates and Grills
The best way to clean your BBQ plates/grills is to light-up the BBQ and leave it on with the hood
down to warm-up for 10-15 minutes. After this time, remove excess fat, oils, cooking residue with
paper towels or a cotton rag from plates/grills then take a long handled brush and a scraper and
remove remaining oil and food scraps. You should use an oven mitt to avoid burning yourself .
This can also be completed after each time you use your BBQ.
Depending on how often you use your BBQ you should also wash your plates/grills bimonthly.
After you have completed the steps above and have allowed time for the BBQ to cool, remove
the plates/grills and wash with warm/hot soapy water. Wash off soapy water with warm/hot
clean water, leave to air dry and place back into BBQ.
Warming Rack, Flame Tamers
Remove and wash with warm/hot soapy water. Wash off soapy water with warm/hot clean
water, leave to air dry and place back into BBQ. For stubborn stains on your warming rack,
soak in hot soapy water.
The Drip Tray
It is a good idea to line the fat tray with aluminium foil to assist with cleaning.
Placing absorbent material into the drip tray will avoid splashing and overflowing when the
container starts to fill. Suitable absorbent material is available from your retailer. You should
change the fat absorbent material regularly. in your drip tray, also, keep the main fat tray itself
clean to prevent a build up of grease. If you don’t do this a fat fire can result. This can be quite
dangerous, and will certainly void the Warranty on your BBQ.
Burners
Over time fat, marinades, juices, etc. can build-up and cover the port holes in your burners.
This reduces gas and flame flow and may result in fires within the BBQ during cooking.
Leaving the burners on for a maximum of 5 minutes with the hood open after you’ve finished
cooking will remove most of this. However, you should check the burners periodically for any
sort of blockage. In particular, you should ensure that the aeration vents are free of insect
nests and spider webs. To clean the burners, let them cool down, then 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. Then lightly coat the burners with canola oil for
