End of Cooking Session
After each cooking session, turn the barbecue burners to the ‘high’ position and burn for 5 minutes. This
procedure will burn off cooking residue, thus making cleaning easier. Do not use any abrasive materials.
Turning Off Your Barbecue
When you have finished using your barbecue, turn all control valves fully clockwise to the ‘Off’ position, and
then switch off the gas at the bottle. Wait until the barbecue is sufficiently cool before closing the hood.
AFTER COOKING
Care and Maintenance
• Regularly clean your barbecue between uses and especially after extended periods of storage. Failure to do
so will cause a build up of grease which will result in a fat fire.
• Ensure the barbecue and it’s components are sufficiently cool before cleaning.
• Do not leave the barbecue exposed to outside weather conditions or stored in damp, moist areas.
• Never douse the barbecue with water when its surfaces are hot.
• Never handle hot parts with unprotected hands.
• In order to extend the life and maintain the condition of your barbecue, we strongly recommend that the unit
is covered when left outside for any length of time, especially during the winter months.
• IMPORTANT – We recommend that servicing of this appliance should be performed either after every 100
hours of use or annually, which ever is achieved soonest.
Cooking Grill
• 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.
Burner Maintenance
• 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 venturi tubes of the
burners fitted over the valve outlets.
Vaporising Bar
• Clean the vaporising bars with soap and warm water using a low abrasive cleaning cloth or sponge!
Grease Tray
• Line the grease tray with aluminium cooking foil
• Spread a layer of normal sand 10-15mm in depth evenly across the tray.
• This will help absorb fat and also reduce flare –ups during cooking.
• IMPORTANT – Always check, clean and replace the sand in the tray regularly before use. Do not allow the
fat residue to build up in the tray.
• NEVER – Use without sand in the grease tray.
Barbecue Body
• Regularly remove excess grease or fat from the barbecue body with a soft plastic or wooden scraper.
• 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.
Fixings
• All screws and bolts, etc. should be checked and tightened on a regular basis.
Storage
• Store your barbecue in a cool dry place.
• Cover the burners with aluminium 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.
