Additional Grilling Surface of the Venezia
Since most of the grease either burns off or collects
in the drip pan, the amount of cleaning required
be tween grilling rounds is minimal. To clean the
barbecue, use a barbecue brush with brass bristles
(not steel bristles). Remove the grilling surface and
clean the cast-iron burners. Once you have
fi
nished
cooking, you can remove and clean the drip pan with
the OUTDOORCHEF BBQ Cleaner.
Important! If you use an oven cleaner, make sure
you leave the barbecue to dry completely after
cleaning. To accelerate the drying process, you
can turn the barbecue to the highest setting for
several minutes.
OUTDOORCHEF BBQ Cleaner – Use:
For the sake of your hands, wear gloves and even
glasses. Spray the barbecue or the accessories tho-
roughly while still warm. Leave to set for 15–30 minu-
tes. Spray soiled surfaces again, vigorously rinse with
water, and then dry.
Regular maintenance
Regular care of your barbecue will help keep it ope-
rating properly. Inspect the gas supply parts at least
twice a year and always after long periods of storage.
Inspect the burner tubes, as spider webs and other
insect nests can cause blockage of the gas
fl
ow from
the valve(s) to the burner(s). Remove all obstructions.
Occasionally inspect and tighten all hardware as this
may become loose if the barbecue is moved over
rough or hard ground. After a period of non-use you
should perform a leak test before using the barbecue
again. If you are in any doubt, contact your local gas
supplier or the agent responsible for selling the bar-
becue. Before storing your barbecue for the winter,
lightly grease all exposed metal parts to prevent cor-
rosion. After winter storage and AT LEAST once more
during the season, check the tube for cracking, chaf-
ing, kinking or other damage. A damaged tube MUST
be replaced immediately as described in this manual.
To preserve the appearance of your barbecue and to
enjoy using it for as long as possible, we recommend
that once a year you treat all wooden parts with a
wood oil – this will help to prevent distortion cracking.
For an extension of the lifespan of your barbecue,
we recommend covering the barbecue with an OUT-
DOORCHEF barbecue cover after it has cooled off
completely, to protect it from the elements. To avoid
the accumulation of humidity, remove the barbecue
cover after rain.

and heat the barbecue (with closed lid) for about 10

the OUTDOORCHEF cook book.
Grilling on the Additional Grilling Surface
Pre-heat your barbecue at full power («HI») for about
10 minutes. Put the food on the cooking grid and
adjust the temperature to your requirements accord-
ingly («LO» to «HI»).
After Cooking
1. Switch the gas knob to the «OFF» position.
2. Close the gas supply on the gas bottle (turn clock-
wise).
3. Leave the barbecue to cool down completely
before cleaning it.
4. Put the barbecue cover on the barbecue.
Cleaning
Gas kettle barbecue
Very little cleaning is required between uses as most
of the fat either vaporizes or drains into the drip pan.
If heavily soiled, heat the barbecue to high and let it
burn for approximately 10 minutes. To clean the grid
and funnel use a brass bristle barbecue brush (not a
steel brush).
For the remaining parts and a thorough cleaning, use
the BBQ Cleaner from OUTDOORCHEF or a nylon
sponge and soapy water to remove all loose deposits.
IMPORTANT: After rinsing off the oven cleaner,
dry the barbecue off completely by heating on
