Care and Maintenance
• Regularly clean your barbecue between uses and especially after extended periods of storage.
• Ensure the barbecue and it’s components are sufficiently cool before cleaning.
• Do not leave the barbecue exposed to outside weather conditions or stored in damp, moist areas.
• Never douse the barbecue with water when its surfaces are hot.
• Never handle hot parts with unprotected hands. Use protective gloves when handling particularly hot
components.
• In order to extend the life and maintain the condition of your barbecue, we strongly recommend that the unit
is covered when left outside for any length of time, especially during the winter months.
• IMPORTANT – We recommend that servicing of this appliance should be performed either after every 100
hours of use or annually, which ever is achieved soonest.
Caution
• Regularly clean your barbecue after every use.
• If you smell gas – turn off the barbecue, extinguish all flames, open the barbecue hood. If the odour
continues, immediately contact your gas supplier.
• In the event of an uncontrollable fire, immediately disconnect the gas cylinder moving it away from fire and
contact the fire services. DO NOT PUT YOURSELF AT RISK!
• Ensure aerosols are not used near this unit when in use.
• Ensure all packaging and plastic bags are disposed of safely.
Cooking Grill
• Clean with hot soapy water.
• To remove any food residue, use a mild cream cleaner on a non-abrasive pad.
• Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
Burner Maintenance
• In normal usage, burning off the residue after cooking will keep the burners clean.
• The burners should be removed and cleaned annually, or whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that
there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) in either the burner portholes or the venturi tubes of the
burners fitted over the valve outlets.
• If the burner portholes or venturi tubes become blocked, they must be cleared before using the BBQ.
Vapourising Bar
• Clean the vapourising bars after 3-4 barbecues with soap and warm water using a low abrasive cleaning
cloth or sponge!
Drip Tray
• Regularly empty the small grease cup.
• The large tray can be removed for cleaning.
Barbecue Body
• Regularly remove excess grease or fat from the barbecue body with 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.
• Remove cooking surfaces and burners before full cleaning.
• Use a damp cloth with warm water and washing up liquid to clean the glass window. Do not use any
abrasive materials.
• Do not immerse the gas controls or manifold in water.
• Check burner operation after carefully refitting into body.
Fixings
• All screws and bolts, etc. should be checked and tightened on a regular basis.
Storage
• 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.
