CARE & MAINTENANCE
Care & Maintenance
As with all appliances, proper care and
maintenance will keep them in top operating
condition and prolong their life. By following
these cleaning procedures on a timely basis, your
appliance 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 appliance 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 appliance
has cooled, then clean the burner tubes and
burner ports.
Preheating
It is necessary to preheat the appliance for at
least 15 minutes before cooking certain foods,
depending on the type of food and the cooking
temperature. Food that requires a low cooking
temperature needs a shorter period of preheating.
Service
If the appliance cannot be adjusted to perform
correctly it should not be used until serviced or
repaired. Contact Sitro Group Australia for spare
parts and service information.
WARNING
Beware of spiders and wasps. Burner tube
should be inspected and cleaned periodically.
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.
