debris after each cooking session. If the
barbecue is to be used for large gatherings,
additional care will be required to ensure
excessive build up of fat does not occur and
cause a fat fire. The time between cleaning may
need to be reduced if very fatty foods or cheap
meat products are being cooked. Failure to do
this may result in a fat fire, which may cause
injury and could seriously damage the
barbecue.
In the event of a fat fire:
Keep everyone at a safe distance from the
barbecue and wait until the fire has burnt
out.
Do not close the hood or lid of the barbecue.
NEVER DOUSE A BARBECUE WITH
WATER. IF AN EXTINGUISHER IS USED,
IT SHOULD BE A POWDER TYPE.
If the fire does not seem to be abating or
appears to be worsening, contact your local
Fire Brigade for assistance.
Replenishing the Charcoal
To replenish the charcoal during use, remove
the food from the cooking grill.
With protected
hands, use the grill lifting handle provided to
remove the grill. After adding the charcoal,
carefully replace the grill, and continue cooking
when the charcoal is ready.
End of Cooking Session
Ash should not be disposed of until you are
certain it is cold and will not be able to re-ignite.
Dispose of any unburned charcoal and remove
remaining residue with a brass wire brush.
Wait until the barbecue is sufficiently cool
before closing its hood or lid.
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 handle hot parts with unprotected
hands.
Never douse the barbecue with water when
its surfaces are hot.
In order to extend the life and maintain the
condition of your barbecue, we strongly
recommend that the unit be covered when left
outside for any length of time, especially during
the winter months. Heavy-duty barbecue covers
and other accessories are available from your
local stockist.
Even when your barbecue is covered for its
protection, it must be inspected on a regular
basis as damp or condensation can form which
may result in damage to the barbecue. It may
be necessary to dry the barbecue and the
inside of the cover. It is possible for mould to
grow on any fat remaining on parts of the
barbecue. This should be cleaned off smooth
surfaces with hot soapy water.
Any rust that is found that does not come into
contact with the food should be treated with a
rust inhibitor and painted with barbecue paint or
a heat resistant paint.
A chrome cleaner may be used on chrome
parts if required. To prevent rusting, wipe
chrome plated parts with cooking oil after
rinsing and drying.
Cooking Surfaces
When the barbecue has cooled, clean with hot
soapy water. To remove any food residue, use
a mild cream cleaner on a non-abrasive pad.
Do not use scouring pads or powders as they
can permanently damage the finish. Rinse well
and dry thoroughly. Due to the weight of the
cooking surfaces, we do not recommend
cleaning in a dishwasher.
Charcoal Tray
After every use, empty and clean the charcoal
tray of any fat or food particles, using a plastic
or wooden scraper if necessary.
Discard the ash, and wash any remaining ash
or fat from the tray.
Failure to keep it clean, and excessive build up
can result in a fat fire. This can be hazardous
and severely damage the barbecue.
This is not
a fault in the barbecue and is therefore not
covered by the terms of the warranty.
If
required, the tray can be washed in hot soapy
water.
Barbecue Hood or Lid & Trolley
Use a non-abrasive cloth or pad and clean with
hot, soapy water. Do not use scouring pads or
powders as they can permanently damage the
