Servicing Your Barbeque
•
Apart from cleaning, your barbeque is a fairly low maintenance item. A couple of things
are worth looking at though. Remember to turn off and disconnect the gas before any
maintenance is carried out.
•
If your barbeque uses a flexible hose to connect to the gas, check the rubber O-ring on
the regulator end of the hose assembly at least once a year. If it appears worn or
cracked, have it replaced.
•
We recommend having your barbeque checked by an authorised service agent every 5
years. This is to ensure there are no leaks and that all components are still functioning
correctly.
•
If you use a portable LPG gas cylinder, you will need to have the cylinder serviced or
replaced every ten years. The date of the last service should be stamped on the neck of
the bottle.
•
As you can see, it’s easy to keep your barbeque in great shape so it can give you years
of trouble free enjoyment.
Replacing the hose
If there are any signs of wear or cracking in the barbeque hose(s), you need to replace
them immediately. Ensure you replace only with the correct hose and regulator purchased
from Barbeque Galore to ensure proper gas connection compatibility. We recommend
replacing the hose and regulator every 5 years.
Connect the nut of the hose to the same gas inlet of the barbeque that the old one was
connected. Use two spanners to tighten it properly, one to hold the inlet, one to turn the
hose nut. Do not use sealing tape. The connection is designed to seal properly without it.
Perform a leak test as explained in “Safety Leak Testing” section before use. Replace the
hose and regulator at least every 5 years.
Replacing the main burners
Occasionally you will need to remove your main burners for cleaning, adjustment or
replacement. Only use correct replacement parts available from your local Barbeques
Galore store.
To replace the burner, place the open end of the burner over the gas jet at the front of the
barbeque. Then, lower the lug on the other end of the barbeque into the locating hole. Lock
the burner in place at the back base with a “R” split pin through the lug at the back base of
the burner.
Extending the life of the lights
Bulbs and LEDs have limited life. Avoid unnecessary use to maximise lifespan. Keep
connections dry and clean. Cover the bbq when it is not in use. Remove the batteries when
the unit will not be used for extended periods.
