Safety and Care Advice
Care and Maintenance
Regularly clean your barbecue between uses and especially after extended periods of storage. Ensure
the barbecue and its 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.
Cooking Grill
Clean with hot soapy water. To remove any food residue, use a mild cream cleaner on a bristle brush.
Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
Burner Maintenance
Your burner has been preset for optimal flame performance. You will normally see a blue flame, possibly
with a small yellow tip when the burner is alight. If the flame pattern is significantly yellow, this could be a
problem caused by grease from cooking blocking the burner or spiders or other insects in the burner
venturi. This can result in the flow of the gas and air mixture being restricted or blocked which may result
in a fire behind the control panel causing serious damage to your barbecue. If this happens, the gas
should be immediately turned off at the bottle. Burners should be inspected and cleaned on a regular
basis in addition to the following conditions:
1) Bringing the barbecue out of storage.
2) One or more of the burners do not ignite.
3) The burner flame pattern is significantly yellow.
4) The gas ignites behind the control panel.
To clean a burner, remove it from the barbecue. The outside of the burner can be cleaned with a wire
brush. Clean the portholes with a pipe cleaner or piece of wire. Take care not to enlarge the portholes.
Clean the insect screen on the end of the venturi tube with a bristle brush (i.e. an old toothbrush).
Clean the venturi tube with a pipe cleaner or piece of wire. You may need a torch to see into the venturi
tube to make sure it is clear. ”Turn the burner up on end and lightly tap against a piece of wood to
dislodge any debris from inside.”
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. Do
not immerse the gas controls or manifold in water. Check burner operation after carefully refitting into
body.
Whenever a barbecue is being assembled for the first time or its burners are being cleaned, make sure
each gas valve tip goes into the burner venturi tube completely during the assemble or re-assemble
process.
