the primary air inlet of the burners. Use a pipe
cleaner to clear obstructions.
When refitting the burners, be careful to check
that the neck of the burner fits over the valve
outlet.
It is quite normal for surface rust to be present
on the burners. If rust appears between uses or
in storage, clean with a soft brass wire brush.
Lava Rock
It is not necessary to remove and wash the lava
rock in order to keep it clean. Burning off the
residue for 3 to 5 minutes after each cooking
session should be sufficient. Heavily
impregnated lava rock should be turned over so
that the dirty side faces the burners in order to
burn off any residue. Replacement lava rock is
available from your local stockist.
Drip Tray
After every use, empty and clean the drip tray
(and foil liner, if applicable) of any fat or food
particles, using a plastic or wooden scraper if
necessary.
Failure to keep it clean, and excessive build up
can result in a fat fire. This can be hazardous
and severely damage the barbecue.
This is not
a fault in the barbecue and is therefore not
covered by the terms of the warranty.
If
required, the tray can be washed in hot soapy
water.
Barbecue Body
Regularly remove excess grease or fat from the
barbecue body using a cloth wrung out in hot
soapy water and dry thoroughly. Excess fat and
food debris can be removed from inside the
body using a soft plastic or wooden scraper. It
is not necessary to remove all the grease from
the body. If you need to clean fully, use hot
soapy water and a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush
only. Do not use abrasives. Remove cooking
surfaces and burners before full cleaning. Do
not immerse the gas controls or manifold in
water. Check burner operation after carefully
refitting into body.
Barbecue Hood or Lid
Use a non-abrasive cloth or pad and clean with
hot, soapy water. Do not use scouring pads or
powders as they can permanently damage the
finish.
Trolley
Wipe with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water
and dry.
The wood used in the manufacture of your
barbecue will naturally weather and change its
appearance. It is quite natural for small cracks
to appear on the surface of the wood. Do not
expose to sun or rain directly. The wood should
be regularly inspected and any weathered or
damaged surfaces should be sanded and
recoated promptly with a garden furniture
varnish or paint, following the manufacturer’s
instructions for preparation and application.
Fixings
All screws and bolts, etc. should be checked
and tightened on a regular basis.
Storage
Ensure the barbecue is properly cooled before
covering or storing. Store your barbecue in a
cool dry place.
Cover the burners with aluminium foil in order to
prevent insects or other debris from collecting in
burner holes.
If the barbecue is to be stored indoors, the gas
bottle must be disconnected and left outside.
The gas bottle should always be stored outside,
in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from any
sources of heat or ignition. Do not let children
tamper with the bottle.
When using the barbecue after extended
periods of storage follow the cleaning
procedures.
