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 ex-
posed 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 bar-
becue 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.
Cooking Surfaces
When the barbecue has cooled, clean with hot soapy water. To remove any food residue, use a mild cream
cleaner on a non-abrasive pad. Do not use scouring pads or powders as they can permanently damage
the finish. Rinse well and dry thoroughly. Due to the weight of the cooking surfaces, we do not recommend
cleaning in a dishwasher.
It is quite normal for surface rust to be present on the cooking surface. If rust appears between uses or in
storage, clean with a soft brass wire brush. Be careful not to damage the cooking surface, re-oil and cure.
Burner
Provided that they are operating correctly, in normal usage, burning off the residue after cooking will keep
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.
