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.
In order to extend the life and maintain the condition of your barbecue, we strongly recommend that the
unit be covered when left outside for any length of time, especially during the winter months
.
Even when your barbecue is covered for its protection, it must be inspected on a regular basis as damp or
condensation can form which may result in damage to the barbecue. It may be necessary to dry the
barbecue and the inside of the cover. It is possible for mould to grow on any fat remaining on parts of the
barbecue. This should be cleaned off smooth surfaces with hot soapy water.
Any rust that is found that does not come into contact with the food should be treated with a rust inhibitor
and painted with barbecue paint or a heat resistant paint. A chrome cleaner may be used on chrome parts
if required. To prevent rusting, wipe chrome plated parts with cooking oil after rinsing and drying.
When flare-ups do occur, they can usually be extinguished by applying baking soda or salt directly onto
the flame tamer. Always protect your hands when handling anything near the cooking surface of the
barbecue and take care to protect yourself from the flames.
If a fat fire occurs, please see the instructions given below.
Fat Fires
Empty and clean the drip tray, of food debris after each cooking session. If the barbecue is to be used for
large gatherings, it will be necessary to turn off and cool the barbecue every two hours to remove food
debris from the drip tray, and clean it out. The time between cleaning may need to be reduced if very
fatty foods or cheap meat products are being cooked. Failure to do this may result in a fat fire, which
may cause injury and could seriously damage the barbecue.
In the event of a fat fire:
If safe to do so, turn all control knobs to the ‘off’ position.
Turn off the gas supply at the gas bottle.
Keep everyone at a safe distance from the barbecue and wait until the fire has burnt out.
Do not close the hood or lid of the barbecue.
NEVER DOUSE A BARBECUE WITH WATER. IF AN EXTINGUISHER IS USED, IT SHOULD BE A
POWDER TYPE.
DO NOT REMOVE THE DRIP TRAY.
If the fire does not seem to be abating or appears to be worsening, contact your local Fire Brigade for
assistance.
End of Cooking Session
After each cooking session, turn the barbecue burners to the “high” position and burn for 5 minutes. This
procedure will burn off cooking residue, thus making cleaning easier. Make sure the hood is open during
this process.
Turning Off Your Barbecue
When you have finished using your barbecue, turn all the control valves fully clockwise to the “Off” position,
then switch off the gas supply at the bottle.
Wait until the barbecue is sufficiently cool before closing the hood or lid.
