CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Regularly clean your barbecue between uses and especially
after extended periods of storage. Ensure the barbecue and its
components are sufficiently cool before cleaning. Do not leave the
barbecue exposed to outside weather conditions or stored in damp,
moist areas.
• Never douse the barbecue with water when its surfaces are hot.
• Never handle hot parts with unprotected hands.
While our products are made to the highest standards and all care is
taken to make them as weather proof as possible, we cannot accept
responsibility for rust occurring on exposed metal parts unless this is
a result of faulty manufacture of parts.
In order to extend the life and maintain the condition of your barbecue,
we strongly recommend that the unit is covered when not in use,
especially during the winter months.
STAINLESS STEEL CARE AND CLEANING ADVICE
Cleanliness and stainless steel are closely related. Stainless steel
performs best when clean - cleanliness is essential for maximum
resistance to corrosion and to maintain the good looks and life of
your BBQ.
TYPES OF SURFACE CONTAMINANTS
Fingerprints and Stains
Fingerprints and mild stains resulting from normal use are the most
common surface contaminates. They can be removed with a glass
cleaner or with a soft rag. This should be followed by a thorough
warm water rinse.
DIRT
Like any surface that is exposed to the environment especially in
coastal areas, the barbecue can get dirty. Cleaning with warm water
with or without a gentle detergent is sufficient. Next in order are
mild non-scratching abrasive powders such as typical household
cleaners. These can be used with warm water, nylon bristle brushes,
sponges, or clean cloths. Carbon steel brushes or steel wool should
be avoided as they may leave particles embedded on the surface
which can lead to RUSTING. Cleaning should always be followed by
rinsing in clean hot water.
GREASE
Grease may soil surfaces in food preparation. These soils may
be mildly corrosive if left or may not allow the surface to maintain
passivity, and so regular removal is a necessity for the appearance.
TYPES OF CLEANERS AND METHODS
Consider the possibility of scratching and the potential for post-
cleaning corrosion caused by incompletely removed cleaners. Avoid
using abrasive cleaners unless absolutely necessary.
CLEAN WATER AND WIPE
A soft cloth and clean warm water should always be the first choice
for mild stains and loose dirt and soils. A final rinse with clean water
and a dry wipe will complete the process and eliminate the possibility
of water stains.
HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS
Household cleaners fall into two categories: detergent (non-abrasive)
and abrasive cleaners. Abrasive cleaners are more effective but
introduce the possibility of scratching the surface. A neutral cleaner
low in chloride is essential. The cleaning method generally employed
with these cleaners is to apply them to the surface and follow by cloth
wiping in the direction of the grain or polish lines (not across them).
The cleaned surface should be thoroughly rinsed with clean water
and wiped dry with a soft cloth if water streaking is a consideration.
CAST IRON COOKING SURFACES
Before cooking with the grill, flat plate or deep dish (if supplied with
your BBQ) clean these with hot soapy water to remove any oil or
residue from the packaging or manufacturing process. Wash with
clean water and let the plates dry naturally. Prior to lighting your BBQ
place them back into the BBQ. Then after lighting your BBQ, let
the plates warm up slowly over a period of 30 minutes, during this
time increasing the heat. You will notice slight vapors rise from the
plates, this is natural as residues are burned off. Turn off your BBQ
to allow the plate to cool slightly. The plates can now be prepared
with the addition of cooking oil. Take care that the plates are not at
a temperature where adding the oil will cause a hazard. Brush the
oil over the plate, allowing the oil to be absorbed into the surface.
Allow the plate to fully cool, then remove any excess oil. The BBQ is
now ready. Repeat the above to keep the plate and grill in a ready
condition after each BBQ session.
PORCELAIN ENAMEL COOKING SURFACES
Porcelain Enamel surfaced items should be treated with care and
should not be cleaned with an abrasive cleaner or scratchy cleaning
item. Surfaces will crack or chip if hit or dropped. Porcelain Enamel
surfaces should NOT be regarded as ‘Non-stick’, use of cooking oil
is required as normal. Food will likely stick to an overheated or un-
oiled enamel surface. The surface will be more easily cleaned by first
soaking overnight.
BURNER MAINTENANCE
Provided that they are operating correctly, in normal usage, burning
off the residue after cooking will keep the burners clean. The burners
should be removed and cleaned annually, or whenever heavy build-
up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of blockage (debris,
insects) in either the burner portholes, the primary air inlet, or the
neck of the stainless steel burners. Use a pipe cleaner to clear
obstructions. When refitting the burners, be careful to check they are
positioned as follows. The neck of the burner fits over the valve outlet,
the top flaps of the gas collector boxes fit over the top surfaces of
the burners.
BURNER MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT
The stainless steel burners do have a limited operating lifespan, these
products are often exposed to cooking marinades and extreme heat
in an area of the barbecue which can be neglected during regular
cleaning.
Replacement parts are available from your local barbecue dealer.
SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING!
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of the grill and cause
the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a very dangerous
condition, which can cause a fire to occur, thereby damaging the grill
and making it unsafe to operate.
WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS
You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately
after any of the following conditions occur:
• The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing
yellow.
• The BBQ does not reach temperature.
• The BBQ heats unevenly.
• The burners make popping noises.
GREASE CUP
After every use, check the grease cup for fat build-up. Failure to
maintain these areas could result in a fat fire or excessive flare up. This
can severely damage your barbecue and such negligent damage is
not covered by the warranty.
BARBECUE BODY
WARNING!
Not cleaning the barbecue can pose a fire risk!
Regularly remove excess grease or fat from the barbecue body with
a soft plastic or wooden scraper. It is not necessary to remove all the
grease from the body. If you need to clean fully, use hot soapy water
and a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush only. Remove cooking surfaces
and burners before full cleaning. Do not immerse the gas controls or
manifold in water. Check burner operation after carefully refitting into
body.
FIXINGS
All screws and bolts, etc. should be checked and tightened on a
regular basis.
END OF THE COOKING SESSION
After each cooking session, turn the BBQ burners to the “HIGH”
position and burn off for 5 minutes. This procedure will burn off food
residue, thus making cleaning easier.
STORAGE
Store your barbecue in a cool dry place. Cover the burners with
aluminium foil in order to prevent insects or other debris from
collecting in burner holes. A protective cover should always be fitted
to the barbecue to protect your investment from the elements when
not in use. If the barbecue is to be stored indoors, the gas bottle must
be disconnected and left outside. The gas bottle should always be
stored outside, in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from any sources
of heat or ignition. Do not let children tamper with the bottle.
To protect your investment it is recommended that BBQs are
protected by the supplied BBQ cover. But please note that prior to
using a protective cover, the BBQ should always be cool, cleaned
of any surface contaminant or dirt and be thoroughly dry. Failure to
follow this information can lead to a BBQ cover being a corrosion
breeder rather than a protective tool.
NOTE:
If leaving your BBQ covered for long periods, occasionally check
for corrosion and insect habitation. Oil surfaces for extra protection.
SERIAL NUMBER
The serial number of your barbecue is located on the data plate of the
BBQ, found on the rear of the BBQ frame. If you require any further
assistance with your barbecue from your local dealer or Masport,
please have this serial number handy as it will allow us to quickly
identify the barbecue.
For storage and cylinder exchange, disconnect hose at the cylinder only, do not disconnect hose from the appliance.
