Weekly Cleaning
NOTE:
If the Barbeque usage is very high, we
recommend that the weekly cleaning procedure
is carried out on a more frequent basis.
Ensure that protective gloves are worn during the
cleaning process.
DO NOT use harsh abrasive detergents, strong
solvents or caustic detergents as they will
damage the range and burners.
DO NOT use water on the Barbeque while the
grates are still hot as warping may occur. Allow
these items castings to cool and remove for
cleaning.
Grates (Cast Iron)
a. Clean the grates thoroughly with a wire brush
or a flexible spatula.
b. A scraper tool can be used for the removal
of stubborn carbon and deposits.
c. Clean with hot water, a recommended
detergent solution and a scrubbing brush.
Dry all components thoroughly with a dry
cloth.
d. The barbeque should be switched on briefly
to ensure the grates becomes dry. A thin film
of cooking oil should be spread over the
grates in order to form a protective film.
Radiants (Cast Iron)
a. Clean the radiants thoroughly with a wire
brush or a flexible spatula.
b. A scraper tool can be used for the removal
of stubborn carbon and deposits.
c. Clean with hot water, a mild detergent
solution and a scrubbing brush. Dry all
radiants thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Main Burners
a. The main burners can be cleaned with hot
water, a recommended detergent solution
and a scrubbing brush. Ensure that any
excess water is removed from inside the
burners. Dry all burners thoroughly with a dry
cloth.
b. Ensure that the burners are fitted correctly
over the main injectors and are located
properly into the recesses in the barbeque.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
a. Clean the exterior surfaces of the barbeque
with hot water, a mild detergent solution and
a soft scrubbing brush. Note that the gas
control knobs are a push fit onto the gas
control valve spindles and can be removed
to allow cleaning of the front control panel.
b. Baked on deposits or discolouration may
require a good quality stainless steel cleaner
or stainless steel wool. Always apply cleaner
when the appliance is cold and rub in the
direction of the grain.
General
Clean the Barbeque regularly. A clean barbeque
looks better, will last longer and will perform better.
Carbonised grease on the surface or on the
barbeque will hinder the transfer of heat from the
cooking surface to the food. This will result in loss of
cooking efficiency.
NOTE:
DO NOT use water on the Barbeque while this
item is still hot as warping and cracking may
occur. Allow the barbeque to cool down before
cleaning.
NOTE:
DO NOT use abrasive detergents, strong solvents
or caustic detergents as they could corrode or
damage the barbeque.
In order to prevent the forming of rust on the
barbeque, ensure that any detergent or cleaning
material has been completely removed after
each cleaning. The appliance should be
switched on briefly to ensure the barbeque
becomes dry. Oil or grease should be spread
over the barbeque cooking surface in order to
form a thin protective greasy film.
To keep your barbeque clean and operating at
peak efficiency, follow the procedures shown
below:-
After Each Use
Clean the barbeque regularly to remove any food
debris.
Daily Cleaning
1. The spill tray should be checked and emptied
frequently to prevent overflow and spillage.
Remove the spill tray while still warm so that the
grease is in a liquid state. Empty any grease
from the tray and wash thoroughly in the same
manner as any cooking utensil.
2. Remove the grates and radiants and thoroughly
clean with the splash back, interior and exterior
surfaces of the barbeque with hot water, a
detergent solution and a soft scrubbing brush.
3. Brush the barbeque surface with a soft bristled
brush. Any carbon deposits should be removed
using a scraper tool followed by wiping with a
cloth to prevent accumulation of food deposits.
4. Dry the barbeque thoroughly with a dry cloth
and polish with a soft dry cloth.
