2.1 Safety considerations
• Gloves should be worn to protect against heat and skin irritation
• Wear safety glasses
• Beware of hot steam if using heat when cleaning
• Be aware hotplate may be hot
• Follow Material Safety data Sheet (MSDS) and Safe Work Guidelines

Your local or national Environmental Protection authority should be contacted for advice on
how to safely dispose of fats and oils.

9Cleaning and maintenance |
WARNING: Do not use corrosive cleaning products on this
appliance. Use only non-toxic products with a neutral pH between
6 and 9
2.3 Cleaning the cabinet and general maintenance
To preserve the appearance and integrity of your Christie barbecue cabinet, we recommend
the entire structure be cleaned weekly and all components be inspected and serviced
at least every 12 months.
1. Spray the benchtop with a mild detergent or pH-neutral, bio-degradable degreaser
2. Rinse with water, or wipe with a clean cloth or paper towel
3. Rinse the exterior of the cabinet with water. If it is contaminated with fat or oil, spray
it with a mild detergent or pH-neutral, bio-degradable degreaser and rinse
4. Regularly sweep and wash down pathways around the barbecue. If contaminated with
fat or oil, spray with a mild detergent or pH-neutral bio-degradable degreaser and rinse
Note: Stainless steel is a low maintenance material that does require regular cleaning,
especially in corrosive environments up to one kilometre from marine waters and up to five
kilometres from a surf beach.
Lack of maintenance may result in surface discoloration or “tea staining”, caused by superficial
corrosion. If barbecues are cleaned frequently, tea staining generally does not occur. When
it does, prompt removal - preferably within 30 days - is recommended. Staining should be
removed using a “Scotch Brite” or similar non-steel household scourer to lightly polish the
surface. Staining should occur less frequently after each removal.
The most effective way to prevent tea staining is to ensure that any asset maintenance
schedule includes washing and rinsing of the entire barbecue. Regular washing of stainless
will remove deposits that can cause superficial corrosion, including sea salt and airborne
chemicals. Application of oils or waxes will temporarily restrict chloride access to
the stainless steel, but these tend to attract and trap airborne pollutants and dull the
stainless surface.

2.4 Cleaning the waste container
The waste container must be emptied on a regular basis. Do not allow the waste
container to overflow into the interior of the barbecue cabinet. All fat, grease and oil
should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Do not dispose of it on the
ground, as this will create a health hazard.
Baffled waste container
A baffled waste container is recommended for use in locations where the barbecue hot
plate is exposed to rain, sprinklers, or other sources of significant water ingress.
The baffled container acts as a grease trap, separating the oils and fats from water.
Oils float and the baffle allows water to pass underneath and both chambers of the
container to fill, but keeping oils in the large chamber. When the water level reaches the
overflow, excess water will drain away and the oils and fats will remain behind.
A container without an internal baffle and overflow will progressively fill until the water
level reaches the top container and oils and fats overflow, which may cause cleaning
and hygiene problems inside the barbecue cabinet.
1. Before use, fill the container with water to approximately 50mm above the bottom
of the internal baffle to ensure that fat, grease and oil will be separated from water
2. Place container inside barbecue surround, underneath the hotplate. Align so that
the main chamber of the waste container is directly under the drain tube
3. When emptying, skim the layer of oils and fats off the water. Place the fat in
a suitable receptacle and dispose of it in accordance with local regulations.
Dispose of the remaining contaminated water into a sewerage or other approved
disposal system
4. Clean and wash the container with a mild detergent or pH-neutral, biodegradable
degreaser, before replacing it inside barbecue surround. A high-pressure cleaner
or steam cleaner may also be used. Extra waste containers can be ordered from
Christie, to exchange and clean containers thoroughly off site

Bagged waste container
An optional bagged waste container is available for locations where the hotplate is not
prone to excessive water ingress i.e. where barbecues are installed under a shelter,
or where a Christie Barbecue Hood has been fitted to the cooktop.
Each bagged waste container is supplied with a starter pack of 25 bags. Replacement bags
can be purchased from Christie in lots of 100.
1. The bagged waste container consists of a metal container and a specially designed,
heavy duty, plastic bag. The bag is inserted into the container and is large enough
and high enough to allow the top of the bag to be folded down over the outside of
the container
2. Once inserted, pour approximately 20mm of water into bag. To empty, lift the bag out of
the waste container and place into a suitable container for disposal. The collected oils
and fats can then be poured into a suitable receptacle and disposed of in accordance
with local regulations
