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
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 as described in lighting and
operating procedure.
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. Cleaning with a soft brush before use and at least
every six months is recommended.
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
‘FLASHBACK’ it is the most common cause and frequent
inspection and cleaning of the burner tubes is necessary
Cleaning the Cooking Surface
After cooking, turn burner control to ‘OFF’ and let
barbecue cool before attempting to clean the cooking
surface.
Care of Cooking Surface
Use and care of the cooking surface is important. Do not
overheat the
cooking surface with no food on the it.
Abnormal Operation
Any of the following are considered to be abnormal
operation and may require servicing:
• Yellow tipping of the burner ame

• Burner failing to remain alight
• Gas valve, which is difcult to turn
Service
