CARE & MAINTENANCE
Care & Maintenance
As with all appliances, proper care and
maintenance will keep them in top operating
condition and prolong their life. Your new gas
barbecue is no exception. By following these
cleaning procedures on a timely basis, your
barbecue will be kept clean and working properly
with minimum effort.
Flash-Back
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin
webs or make nests in the burner tubes during
warehousing and transit. These webs can lead to
a gas ow obstruction which could result in a re
in and around the burner tubes.
This type of re is known as ‘FLASH-BACK’ and
can cause serious damage to your barbecue and
create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only
cause of ‘FLASH-BACK’ it is the most common
cause and frequent inspection and cleaning of the
burner tubes is necessary.
If re occurs in and around the burner,
immediately turn off gas at its source and
turn the burner control to ‘OFF’, wait until the
barbecue has cooled, then clean the burner
tubes and burner ports.
Cleaning the Grill Plates
After cooking, turn burner control to ‘OFF’ and
let barbecue cool before attempting to clean the
grill plates. Before rst use and periodically, it is
suggested that you wash the grill plates in a mild
soap and warm water solution. You can use a
wash cloth to clean your barbecue plates.
Care of Cooking Surface
Use and care of the easy clean cooking surface is
important. Do not use metal utensils or cut food
on the cooking surface. Use only plastic cooking
utensils. Do not use pans on the cooking surface.
Do not overheat the cooking surface with the
hood down or when there is no food on the
cooking surface.
Cleaning the Drip Tray
To avoid fat or grease dripping from the barbecue
remove and empty the drip tray after each use.
Wait until the drip tray is cool to touch before
disposing of contents.
The drip tray should be washed periodically in a
mild detergent and warm water solution.
Abnormal Operation
Any of the following are considered to be abnormal
operation and may require servicing:
• Yellow tipping of the burner ame
• Sooting up of grill plates
• Burners not igniting properly
• Burners failing to remain alight
• Burners extinguished by trolley doors
• Gas valves, which are difcult to turn
Service

correctly it should not be used until serviced or
