MAINTENANCE
Check that the burners are burning correctly regu-
larly.
Remove the BBQ grate and flame guards.
Light the BBQ normally.
Turn the controls from low to high, check there is
a difference in flame strength and that the flames are
blue, not orange. If the burners act abnormally, refer
to the troubleshooting chapter.
Remove any fat or deposits from previous use with a
BBQ brush..
INSECTS AND VERMIN
After long-term storage, insects and other vermin can
be found in the BBQ. If you experience problems with
lighting or irregular flames, it can be due to unwanted
guests blocking the gas supply. In such instances,
dismantle and clean the burners. Replace the burners
when they are dry.
Check that the gas hose is not damaged by mice or
rats.
CLEANING
PLASTIC PARTS
Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
BBQ BODY
Lack of maintenance / cleaning, can lead to the BBQ
rust. To keep the barbecues beautiful and long lasting,
it is recommended to use mild detergents and hot
water. Wipe the surface with a non-abrasive wash cloth.
Acid-free oil is recommended to avoid rust.
COOKING GRID AND FLAME TAMER
Use a mild soapy water solution. Non-abrasive scouring
power can be used on stubborn stains, then rinse
with water. Make sure the cooking grids are well dried
before storage.
MAINTAIN THE BURNERS
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP Tank.
2. Remove cooking grates, grease tray and grease cup.
3. Remove screw at end of burner using a screwdriver.
4. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve
openings.
5. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove
food residue and dirt.
6. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an
open paper clip.
7. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and
corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any
large cracks or holes are found replace burner.
8. Carefully refit burners.
9. Replace flametamer and cooking grid.
All cleaning and maintenance should be carried out
when the appliance is cool and with the fuel supply
turned OFF at the gas cylinder after each time use.
DO NOT mistake brown or black accumulation of
grease and smoke for paint. Interiors of gas BBQs are
not painted at
the factory (and should NEVER be painted). Apply a
strong solution of detergent and water or use a BBQ
cleaner with scrub brush on insides of BBQ lid and
bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry.
DO NOT apply a caustic BBQ / oven cleaner to pain-
ted surfaces.
DO NOT use abrasive or flammable cleaners, as it will
damage the parts of the product and may start a fire.
