Burning-off the barbecue after cooking will keep it
ready for instant use, however, once a year you should
give the entire barbecue a thorough cleaning to keep it
in top operating condition.
INTERIOR:
1. Turn the burner controls to ‘OFF’position.
2. Turn the cylinder valve off fully.
3. Detach the regulator assembly from cylinder valve
by turning the quick coupling nut.
4. Remove and clean the cooking grill, flametamer
and burner.
5.
Cover the gas valve orifice with a piece of aluminium
foil.
6. Brush the inside and bottom of the barbecue with a
stiff wire brush, and wash down with a mild soap
and warm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and
let dry.
7. Remove aluminium foil and check orifice for any
obstruction. Reinstall the burner.
8. Check spark electrode, adjusting as instructed the
electrode tip approximately 5 mm from the lighting
holes in the side of the burner.
9. Reconnect to gas and observe burner flame for
correct operation.
10. Replace flametamer and grillplate.
As with all appliances, proper care and mainte-
nance will keep them in a top operating condition and
prolong their life. Your 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.
EXTERIOR:
Your gas barbecue is made of stainless steel and
should provide you with years of trouble-free service.
Keep clean by wiping with warm soapy water.

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 and flametamer from barbecue.
2. Remove burner from the barbecue body by
removing the two stainless steel upper burner
brackets.
3. Carefully lift the 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:
1. Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works
well) into a small hook. Run the hook through the
burner venturi tube several times.
CLEANING THE BURNER TUBE AND
BURNER PORTS (TO PREVENT FLASH-BACK)
OR Using a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle,
brush the inside of the burner venturi tube (do not
use a brass wire brush), run the brush through the
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.
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 the gas
valve orifice is correctly placed inside the end of
the burner tube. Also check position of spark
electrode.
