22 CLEANING AND CARE
The cleaning and care instructions are essential for the proper
functioning and operation of your appliance over time. Failure to
adhere to these care instructions may affect your ability to make
a claim under the manufacturer’s warranty.
Cleaning Enamel burner box
Although porcelain enamel will keep its lustrous finish even
under adverse conditions, it still needs regular cleaning. After
the appliance has been used, wash down the surfaces with hot
soapy water. Caustic cleaners should be avoided. For barbecues
near the ocean or salt-water environment, more frequent
cleaning and servicing should be conducted. Wash regularly,
rinse and then dry before covering. (In a salt water or marine
environment, more rapid deterioration can be expected which is
not covered by warranty).
Cleaning Plates and Grills
Many food acids, marinades, juices and sauces contain highly
acidic elements that will slowly attack the surface of the plates
and grills if not removed after cooking.
• After use, remove all solid material from the cooking
surfaces using a brass bristle brush or plastic scourer.
Brushes specifically designed for this purpose can be
purchased from your BeefEater retailer. Wipe off remaining
residue with a paper towel.
• Wash the surface of the grills with a soft sponge and a
solution of hot water and a mild dishwashing liquid. Do not
use highly caustic, harsh or abrasive chemical cleaners to
clean the cooking grills. Always check the manufacturer’s
recommendations for the cleaner prior to use.
• Coat the grills with a layer of cooking oil. This will help
protect the surfaces between uses.
Cleaning the grease tray
Never remove the grease tray while the barbecue is hot. Always
remove and clean the grease tray after the unit has cooled
down.
Replace aluminium foil drip tray and clean grease tray at regular
intervals to prevent grease build-up. Otherwise, a grease fire
could result and void the barbecue warranty.
Cleaning the control panel and hood
Wash the surfaces of the control panel and hood with a soft
sponge and a solution of hot water and a mild dishwashing
liquid. Do not use highly caustic, harsh or abrasive chemical
cleaners or scouring pads as these will damage the surface of
the panels.
Cleaning the Burners
• Check main opening of burner regularly for insect nests (eg.
wasp, ants or spiders). Nests are dangerous and must be
cleaned outthoroughly.
• Remove burners periodically and scrub clean with soapy
water and a wire brush making sure that the ports are free
of obstructions.
Replace burners in the correct position and dry by lighting each
one to avoid subsequent corrosion.
WARNING
CAUTION
A clogged burner can lead to a fire beneath the grill.
Inspecting the hose and Regulator Assembly and Cylinder
• Inspect the hose and regulator assembly for abrasion, aging
or any damage that may result in a gas leak at periodic
intervals, at least once a year, and whenever replacing a
cylinder.
Replace the assembly if necessary to ensure safe operation.
After connecting the assembly to a cylinder always
carry out a leak check.
Only connect the appliance to cylinders that are
current according to the date marking on the cylinder.
Storing your Barbecue
When storing barbecue for extended periods, be certain all
controls and cylinder valves are turned off.
Gas cylinders must be stored outdoors, out of reach of children
and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other
enclosed area.
The barbecue should be covered when not in use.
A barbecue cover is available as an accessory.
The gas cylinder supply valve must be turned off when the
appliance is not in use.
