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.
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. Cleaning
with a soft brush before use and at least every six months
is recommended.
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.
Flash-Back
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 Hot Plate
After cooking, turn burner control to ‘OFF’ and let barbecue
cool before attempting to clean the hot plate. Before first
use and periodically, it is suggested that you wash the hot
plate in a mild soap and warm water solution.
Care of Cooking Surface
Use and care of the cooking surface is important. Do not
use pans on the cooking surface. Do not overheat when no
food is on the cooking surface.
IMPORTANT
• Beware of spiders and wasps. Burner tube should be
inspected and cleaned periodically.
• This appliance must only be serviced by an authorised
person.
• To avoid any flare-ups, it is recommended that the
drip tray be checked and emptied regularly. Contents
of the drip tray may be very hot during cooking. If
emptied during extended cooking extreme caution
should be taken and direct contact by hand should
be avoided at all times. Allow to cool completely
before disposing of the contents.
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.
Servicing
Servicing should be conducted every year or sooner if
required.
The appliance must only be serviced by an authorised
