CARE & MAINTENANCE
Care & Maintenance
As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance
will keep them in top operating condition and prolong
their life. Your new gas barbecue is no exception. By
following these cleaning procedures on a timely basis,
your barbecue will be kept clean and working properly
with minimum effort.
Flash-Back
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or
make nests in the burner tubes during warehousing and
transit. These webs can lead to
a gas flow obstruction which could result in a fire in and
around the burner tubes.
This type of fire is known as ‘FLASH-BACK’ and can
cause serious damage to your barbecue and create an
unsafe operating condition for the user. Although an
obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of ‘FLASH-
BACK’ it is the most common cause and frequent
inspection and cleaning of the burner tubes is necessary.
If fire occurs in and around the burner, immediately turn
off gas at its source and turn the burner control to ‘OFF’,
wait until the barbecue has cooled, then clean the burner
tubes and burner ports.
Cleaning the Drip Tray
To avoid fat or grease dripping from the barbecue remove
and empty the drip tray after each use. Wait until the drip
tray is cool to touch before disposing of contents.
The drip tray should be washed periodically in a mild
detergent and warm water solution.
Abnormal Operation
Any of the following are considered to be abnormal
operation and may require servicing:
• Yellow tipping of the burner flame
• Sooting up of grill plates
• Burners not igniting properly
• Burners failing to remain alight
• Burners extinguished by cabinet doors
• Gas valves, which are difficult to turn
Service
If the appliance cannot be adjusted to perform correctly
it should not be used until serviced or repaired. Contact
