CLEANING OTHER PARTS OF YOUR APPLIANCE
IGNITOR:
Clean the ignitor clip lightly using a wire brush to remove rust and grease.
DO NOT USE WATER OR CLEAN THE ELECTRODE WITH THE WIRE
BRUSH.
Visually inspect the ceramic of the electrode for cracks. The
electrode can be wiped with a soft cloth if necessary. If a crack is found, a
replacement ignitor system will be required. Look for OMC O.E.M. ignition
system or universal ignition system.
CLEANING GRIDS:
After each use, scrub the cooking grids with a stiff long-handled brass brush.
Do not use steel brushes, as they can scratch the nickel or porcelain coating.
Grids can also be washed with mild detergent. Never use commercial oven
cleaners. If rust appears on your cooking grids, remove the rust with a
scrub pad and coat the grid with some cooking oil. If excessive wear is
evident, you might want to replace or upgrade your cooking grid.
COOKING SYSTEM:
All cooking systems such as Ceramic Grates are self-cleaning. When the
barbeque is cold, turn each item over and then turn the barbeque on HIGH
for 10 to 15 minutes.
DO NOT LEAVE THE BARBEQUE UNATTENDED.
Replace or possibly upgrade your cooking system when they begin to
spread apart or fall through the grate. With Flav-R-Wave™, scrape them with a
brass bristle brush, clean using soap and water, then rinse and dry.
DO NOT ALLOW EXCESSIVE GREASE OR OTHER RESIDUE TO BUILD UP
ON YOUR COOKING SYSTEM AS A FIRE MAY RESULT.
NOTE: FOR FLAV-R-WAVE™ (HEAT DISTRIBUTION PLATE) MODELS ONLY
LAVA ROCK IS NOT REQUIRED AND IS NOT TO BE USED IN THIS SYSTEM.
THE USE OF LAVA ROCK OR CERAMIC ROCK WITH FLAV-R-WAVE™
(HEAT DISTRIBUTION PLATE) IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
SIDE SHELVES:
Metal Shelves:
Use any household cleaner, except those containing acid or mineral spirits.
Be sure to rinse well after cleaning.
DO NOT USE AS A CUTTING BOARD
.
COVER YOUR BARBEQUE WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE TO PROTECT THE
SHELVES FROM THE OUTDOOR ELEMENTS.
CASTING INTERIOR AND WARMING RACK:
At least once a year remove all components from inside your barbeque.
Loosen any cooking residue with a scraping tool for large particles and a
brass barbeque brush for smaller particles. Scrub with hot water and a
strong detergent, then rinse thoroughly or spray barbeque degreaser
liberally on all interior surfaces. Be sure to use gloves and eye protection.
Let stand for 10 minutes, scrape off residue and repeat if required. Rinse
thoroughly with water. Replace all components as outlined in the assembly
instructions.
DO NOT USE DEGREASER ON PAINTED OR PLASTIC
SURFACES. DO NOT ALLOW EXCESSIVE GREASE OR OTHER RESIDUE
TO BUILD UP ON YOUR COOKING SYSTEM AS A FIRE MAY RESULT.
GREASE CUP HOLDER:
The grease cup holder is located on the bottom of the
base casting, immediately below the hole through
which any grease will drain. A grease cup is not
provided, however the clip has been designed to
accommodate a standard soup can or jar. The
grease cup should be checked and replaced
regularly to prevent grease from overflowing.
MODEL MAY NOT BE
EXACTLY AS SHOWN.
STORAGE
More people are discovering the pleasure of year round barbequing.
However, if you choose to store your barbeque for the winter or any
extended length of time, follow these steps:
t
Clean the cooking grids, then oil lightly with cooking oil, wrap in paper
and then store the cooking grids indoors.
t
Follow the same cleaning method above for the burners and any
warming racks.
t
Cover the barbeque if it is left outdoors.
t
When the barbeque is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the L.P.
cylinder valve or main shut off valve, and stored outdoors in a well-
ventilated area.
With a
Propane
appliance you can store the barbeque inside, PROVIDED
the cylinder is removed from the barbeque and stored outdoors in a well-
ventilated area, out of the reach of children. When the cylinder is
disconnected from the barbeque, ensure the cylinder valve safety cap is
firmly threaded through onto the valve.
With a
Natural Gas
appliance, the gas must be turned off at the individual
gas shut off valve and the hose must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system before storing the barbeque indoors. Install plastic
covers to quick connect fittings.
After a period of storage or non-use a leak test should be performed and
the burner venturis cleaned prior to use.
USING YOUR APPLIANCE CORRECTLY
LIGHTING
Prior to lighting your barbeque, visually check all hoses before each use
for nicks, cracking, abrasions or cuts. If the hose is found to be
damaged in any way,
DO NOT USE YOUR BARBEQUE
. A replacement
hose and regulator is required (see ‘
PARTS LIST
’ in Assembly
Brochure).
IMPORTANT
t
Always raise the barbeque lid before lighting.
t
Do not lean over the barbeque when lighting the burner.
t
Visually check the flames every time you light your barbeque
(Figure 10). If the flame is abnormally small or a smoky yellow - shut
off the barbeque and check the venturi tubes for blockage
(see Figure 8) or refer to the Troubleshooting Guide.
On barbeques with dual controls, the right control knob operates the
right burner and the left knob operates the left burner. On barbeques
with triple control knobs the far left knob operates the side burner.

NEVER STORE A SPARE LP CYLINDER UNDER
OR NEAR THE APPLIANCE OR IN AN ENCLOSED
AREA.
