Cuisinart Venture - Care and Maintenance; Cleaning and Maintenance

5. Care And Maintenance
5.1 Care
This appliance must only be serviced by an authorized person.
Regular care of your BBQ will help keep it operating properly. All maintenance should be done only when the
BBQ is cool and with the fuel supply turned off. Occasionally inspect and tighten hardware that may become
loose.
5.2 Cleaning The Venturi Tube
A spider’s nest or wasp’s mud inside the Venturi Tube can block gas ow and can even cause a re at the gas
control valve. Such a re can cause operator injury and serious damage to your BBQ.
To prevent insect related problems, inspect the Venturi Tube regularly and remove any dirt.
Do not disassemble or alter the fuel supply system. Improper assembly can result in a hazardous condition.
Seek qualied professional assistance if repairs are required.
5.3 Cleaning And Maintenance
• WARNING: Do not clean any BBQ surface while BBQ is operating. Let BBQ cool to a safe
temperature prior to cleaning.
• Disconnect the fuel supply and remove the fuel supply cylinder prior to cleaning.
• Cleaning should be done where detergent won’t harm work surface or lawn. Do not leave the BBQ exposed
to outside weather conditions or stored in damp, moist areas.

is covered when left outside for any length of time, especially during the winter months.
