Care and Maintenance
Burner
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 or the primary air inlet of the burners. 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
.
It is quite normal for surface rust to be present on the burners. If rust appears between
uses or in storage, clean with a soft brass wire brush
.
Grease Tray
After every use, empty and clean the grease tray (and grease cup) of any fat or food
particles, using a plastic or wooden scraper if necessary
.
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
.
Fixings
All screws and bolts, etc. should be checked and tightened on a regular basis.
Storage
Ensure the barbecue is properly cooled before covering or storing. Store your barbecue in
a cool dry place
.
Cover the burners with aluminum foil in order to prevent insects or other debris from
collecting in burner holes
.
If the barbecue is to be stored indoors, the gas bottle must be disconnected and left
outside. The gas bottle should always be stored outside, in a dry, well-ventilated area
,
away from any sources of heat or ignition. Do not let children tamper with the bottle.
When using the barbecue after extended periods of storage follow the cleaning
procedures
.
