the cover. 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. Wooden parts may
also need to be cleaned and re oiled. Chrome
plated warming racks etc. should be coated with
cooking oil.
I1. Porcelain Coated Cast Iron Cooking
Surfaces
Clean with hot, soapy water. To remove any food
residue, use a mild cream cleaner on a non-
abrasive pad. Rinse well and dry thoroughly. We
do not recommend cleaning grills and griddles in a
dishwasher.
I2. 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 (fat, debris or
insects for example), in either the burner portholes
or the burner primary air inlet. Use a pipe cleaner
to clear obstructions. When refitting the burners,
be careful to check that the neck of the burner fits
over the valve outlet.
Your burners have been preset for optimal flame
performance. You will normally see a blue flame,
possibly with a small yellow tip when the burner is
alight. If the flame pattern is significantly yellow,
this could be a problem caused by grease from
cooking blocking the burner or spiders or other
insects in the burner venturi. This can result in the
flow of the gas and air mixture being restricted or
blocked which may result in a fire behind the
control panel causing serious damage to your
barbecue.
If this happens, the gas should be
immediately turned off at the bottle.
Burners
should be inspected and cleaned on a regular
basis in addition to the following conditions:
•
Bringing the barbecue out of storage.
•
One or more of the burners do not ignite.
•
The burner flame pattern is significantly
yellow.
•
The gas ignites behind the control panel.
To clean a burner, remove it from the barbecue.
The outside of the burner can be cleaned with a
wire brush.
Clean the portholes with a pipe cleaner or piece of
wire. Take care not to enlarge the portholes.
Clean the insect screen on the end of the venturi
tube with a bristle brush (i.e. an old toothbrush).
Clean the venturi tube with a pipe cleaner or piece
of wire. You may need a torch to see into the
venturi tube to make sure it is clear.
Turn the burner up on end and lightly tap against
a piece of wood to dislodge any debris from
inside.
I3. Flame Tamer
Remove any food residue from the flame tamer
surface with a plastic or wooden scraper or brass
wire brush. Do not use a steel scraper or wire
brush. Clean with hot soapy water and rinse well.
I4. Drip Tray
After every use, check the drip tray for fat build up
in the sand. Discard any saturated sand and
replace it with fresh sand. Failure to carry out this
procedure can result in a fat fire in the tray. This
can severely damage the barbecue and is not
covered by the warranty. If the barbecue is being
used for extended periods the burners should be
turned off and the drip tray checked before the
end of the cooking session.
I5. Barbecue Body
Regularly remove excess grease or fat from the
barbecue body with a soft plastic or wooden
scraper. It is not necessary to remove all the
grease from the body. If you need to clean fully,
use hot soapy water and a cloth, or nylon-bristled
brush only. Remove cooking surfaces and burners
before full cleaning. Do not immerse the gas
controls or manifold in water. Check burner
operation after carefully refitting into body.
I6. Barbecue Hood
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
finish. The inside of the hood will also need
cleaning to prevent an excess build up of grease
which can then turn to carbon and start to flake
off. This can resemble paint flaking off but it is not
as the hood is porcelain coated.
