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
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 as described in lighting and
operating procedure.
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
‘FLASHBACK’ it is the most common cause and frequent
inspection and cleaning of the burner tubes is necessary
Cleaning the Cooking Surface
After cooking, turn burner control to ‘OFF’ and let
barbecue cool before attempting to clean the cooking
surface.
Care of Cooking Surface
Use and care of the cooking surface is important. Do not
overheat the
cooking surface with no food on the it.
Abnormal Operation
Any of the following are considered to be abnormal
operation and may require servicing:
• Yellow tipping of the burner flame
• Burner not igniting properly
• Burner failing to remain alight
• Gas valve, which is difficult to turn
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.
Location of your Barbecue
DO NOT use your barbecue in garages, porches, sheds,
breezeways, or other enclosed areas. Your barbecue is to
be used OUTDOORS. The barbecue is not intended to be
installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats and
should not be placed under any surface that will burn. Do
not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air
around the barbecue housing.

allow children to operate barbecue.
Always ensure that no sporting or physical activities are
carried out in close proximity to the barbecue during use
and while still hot.

Check Barbecue for any Damage
Inspect barbecue parts as you proceed. Contact your
supplier for assistance regarding replacement of any
damaged or missing parts. Do not assemble or operate a
barbecue that appears damaged. Barbecues for use with
gas cylinders are labelled ‘Propane Gas’ or ‘Universal
L.P.G’. Check labelling at the gas connection on your
barbecue.
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.
Cleaning the Cooking Surface
After cooking, turn burner control to ‘OFF’ and let
barbecue cool before attempting to clean the cooking
surface. Before first use and periodically, it is suggested
that you wash the cooking surface 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 the
cooking surface with the hood down or no food on the
cooking surface.
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.
General Cleaning of Painted Surface
When cleaning your BBQ use a mild dish soap combined
with warm water and a microfiber cloth to clean the
surface. Then rinse your BBQ with clean water.
Note: Never use steel wool or any hard cleaning pad on
any painted and stainless steel surface, as it can cause
surface damage.
If not in use, turn off the gas from the source. After
cleaning and when it is dry, spray some canola oil over
the whole BBQ surface and wipe off the excess with
microfiber cloth to enhance the surface protection. Then
cover the BBQ with a BBQ cover and store it in a dry
place.
