To reduce the chance of flash-back, the procedure below
should be followed at least once a month in late summer
or early autumn when spiders are most active, or when
your barbecue has not been used for an extended period
of time.
1. Remove grill plates, flame tamers and grease
draining tray and receptacle from barbecue.
2. Remove burners from bottom of barbecue body by
pulling cotter pin from beneath burner ‘foot’using
a screwdriver or needle nose pliers.
3. Carefully lift each burner up and away from gas
valve orifice.
We suggest several different ways of cleaning the
burner tubes. Use the procedure most convenient for
you:
Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well)
into a small hook. Run the hook through each
burner tube and into the burner several times.
CLEANING THE BURNER TUBES AND
BURNER PORTS (TO PREVENT FLASH-BACK)
OR Using a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle
(do not use a brass wire brush), run the brush
through each burner tube and into the burner
several times.
OR Use an air hose to force air through the burner
tube and out through the burner ports. Observe
each port and make sure air comes out every
hole. Wear eye protection.
NOTE: Do not use compressed air with injectors.
Regardless of which burner cleaning procedure
you use, we recommend that you complete the following
steps to help prolong burner life.
1. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to
remove food residue and dirt.
2. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an
open paper clip.
3. Inspect the burner for damage (cracks or holes) and
if such damage is found, order and install a new
burner. After installation, check to ensure that gas
valve orifices are correctly placed inside ends of
burner tubes. Also check position of spark electrode.
If fire occurs in and around the burner tubes, immediately
turn off gas at its source and turn the burner control(s)
to ‘OFF’. Wait until the barbecue has cooled, then clean
the burner tubes and burner ports as described opposite.
FLASH-BACK
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.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Use a wire brush to remove stubborn burnt-on cooking
residue after each use. Washing the flame tamer after
every use is not necessary but periodically it is suggested
you clean the flame tamer in a soap and warm water
solution. Dry the flame tamer thoroughly before you
re-install it in the barbecue body.
CLEANING THE FLAME TAMER
The grease draining tray should be emptied and wiped
down periodically and washed in a mild detergent and
warm water solution. Lining the tray with aluminium foil
will enable easier cleaning.

After cooking, turn burner controls to ‘OFF’and let
barbecue cool before attempting to clean cooking plates.
It is recommended that the cooking plates be coated
with a thin layer of vegetable oil on a regular basis to
prevent rusting. Slight rusting can be removed with a
scrubbing brush before use.
Before first use and periodically it is suggested that
you wash the cooking plates in a mild soap and warm
water solution. You can use a wash cloth, a vegetable
brush, or steel wool to clean barbecue plates if desired.
CLEANING THE COOKING PLATES
Rotate the chrome cap anti-clockwise
to remove it completely. The ignition
pack is powered by a ‘AA’battery.
The battery can be easily removed
using your fingers.
