Maintenance - Cleaning Your Barbeque
Your barbeque will look better and last longer if you keep it clean. Follow these simple steps:
•
Throwing cold water over any hot surface of the barbeque is NOT recommended
and is potentially dangerous.
•
Avoid handling and touching hot parts of the barbeque.
The Cooking Surface:
Once cooking is finished a burn-off process to clean the barbeque should be as follows:
•
Remove all excess burnt food with a long handled scraper or brush.
•
Light both burners, set to the
HIGH
position and leave running with the hood fully
open for approximately 5 minutes.
•
During this 5 minute period most excess food, fat and juices should be burnt off
making cleaning easier.
•
The roasting hood must be left in the open position during the burn off period.
•
When done turn the barbeque OFF at the control knobs and at the gas supply valve.
•
Once the barbeque has cooled, using Bar-B-Chef Heavy Duty Cleaner and warm
water, scrub the cooking surfaces with a long handled brush or scourer. Rinse
thoroughly with fresh warm water.
•
Once dry, store barbeque with the hood closed and out of the elements and direct
sunlight.
The Burners:
•
Occasionally the burner holes may get slightly clogged with grease and food
particles. Leaving the burners on
HIGH
for a maximum of 5 minutes with the hood
open after you’ve finished cooking will remove most of this.
•
Check the burners periodically for more persistent blockages. In particular, you
should ensure that the aeration vents are free of insect nests and spider webs.
•
To clean the burners, once OFF , let them cool down and inspect them. If any of the
holes are clogged, use a toothpick to unclog the holes.
The Barbeque Firebox and Hood :
•
Regular care and maintenance of the barbeque firebox and hood will significantly
increase its life and long term appearance.
•
Excess grease and fat can be removed using Bar-B-Chef Heavy Duty BBQ
Cleaner and warm water with a soft scraper (not metal edged). Do not use caustic
cleaning agents as these can quickly damage surface coatings and gradually
damage even metal finishes.
•
Before cleaning the inside of the body it is advisable to let the barbeque fully cool,
then remove the cooking surfaces and be careful not to get water into the burner
holes.
•
Care must be taken not to immerse the gas controls (manifold and injectors) in water.
•
After cleaning and re-assembling the barbeque it is important to check that the
barbeque functions correctly.
