When flare-ups do occur, they can usually be extinguished by applying baking soda or salt directly
onto the flame tamer. Always protect your hands when handling anything near the cooking surfa-
ce of the barbecue and take care to protect yourself from the flames.
lf a fat fire occurs, please see the instructions given below.
Fat Fires
Empty and clean the drip tray, of food debris after each cooking session. lf the barbecue is to be
used for large gatherings, it will be necessary to turn off and cool the barbecue every two hours to
remove food debris from the drip tray, and clean it out. The time between cleaning may need to
be reduced if very fatty foods or cheap meat products are being cooked. Failure to do this may
result in afat fire, which may cause injury and could seriously damage the barbecue.
In the event of a fat fire:
lf safe to do so, turn all control knobs to the 'off' position.
Turn off the gas supply at the gas battle.
Keep everyone at a safe distance from the barbecue and wait until the fire has burnt out.
Do not close the hood or lid of the barbecue.
NEVER DOUSE A BARBECUE WITH WATER. IF AN EXTINGUISHER IS USED, IT SHOULD BE A POWDER TYPE.
DO NOT REMOVE THE DRIP TRAY.
lf the fire does not seem to be abating or appears to be worsening, contact your local Fire Brigade
for assistance.
End of Cooking Session
After each cooking session, turn the barbecue burners to the "high" position and burn for 5 minu-
tes. This procedure will burn off cooking residue, thus making cleaning easier. Make sure the hood is
open during this process.
Turning Off Your Barbecue
When you have finished using your barbecue, turn all the control valves fully clockwise to the "Off"
position, then switch off the gas supply at the battle.
Wait until the barbecue is sufficiently cool before closing the hood or lid.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Flame Tamer
Remove any food residue from the flame tamer surface with a plastic or wooden scraper or brass
wire brush. Do not use a steel scraper or wire brush. Clean with hot soapy water and rinse well.
Drip Tray After every use, empty and clean the drip tray of any fat or food particles, using a plastic
or wooden scraper if necessary.
Failure to keep it clean, and excessive build up can result in afat fire. This can be hazardous and
severely damage the barbecue. This is not a fault in the barbecue and is therefore not covered by
the terms of the warranty. lf required, the tray can be washed in hot soapy water.
Barbecue Body
Regularly remove excess grease or fat from the barbecue body using a cloth wrung out in hot
soapy water and dry thoroughly. Excess fat and food debris can be removed from inside the body
using a soft plastic or wooden scraper. lt is not necessary to remove all the grease from the body.
lf you need to clean fully, use hot soapy water and a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush only. Do not use
abrasives. 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.
A stainless steel cleaner may be used on stainless steel parts if required.
Whenever a barbecue is being assembled for the first time or its burners are being cleaned, make
sure each gas valve tip goes into the burner venturi tube completely during the assemble or
re-assemble process. 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.
In order to extend the life and maintain the condition of your barbecue, we strongly recommend
that the unit be covered when left outside for any length of time, especially during the winter
months . Even when your barbecue is covered for its protection, it must be inspected on a regular
basis as damp or condensation can form which may result in damage to the barbecue.
