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 clean
-
ing procedures on a timely basis, your barbecue 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. 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.
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.
To avoid fat or grease dripping from the barbecue remove
and empty the drip tray after each use. A small amount of
water can be placed in the drip tray before use to help with
fat removal. 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.
CARE OF COOKING SURFACE
Your barbecue is supplied with an enamel grill and plate.
Correct use and care of the cooking. Surface is important
to ensure trouble free cooking. Clean thoroughly while
cooking surface is cooling. Do not leave food on the
cooking surface when not in use.
