CLEANING THE EXTERIOR OF THE BARBECUE
• Wash the outside of the barbecue with a soft sponge, a mild detergent and water.
Rinse with clean water and let it dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• If the painted steel is scratched or damaged and has started to rust, brush the surface
with a steel brush, scrape it and then paint with anti-rust primer. This should be done
as soon as the damage is discovered, as scratches in the paint make the barbecue
more susceptible to rust.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR OF THE BARBECUE
• Remove the barbecue grille.
• Wash the barbecue with a mild detergent and water. Rinse with clean water and let
it dry. Do not use an abrasive cleaner or oven cleaner.
CLEANING THE BURNERS
• Remove the barbecue grille.
• Clean the burners with a soft brush or blow it clean with compressed air. Wipe with a cloth.
• Carefully clean the clogged openings with pipe cleaners and sti wire (e.g. an open
paper clip).
• Check that there is no damage to the burners (cracks or holes). Replace the burner if
you discover any damage.
• Refit the burners and check to make sure that the gas valves’ mouth pieces are firmly
in the correct position in the burner pipe.
• Check the burner’s flames. A good flame should be blue with yellow at the top.
A yellow and irregular flame indicates that oil residues and food deposits may be
accumulating on the burner. Try to clean the surface and holes of the burner to get
a better flame. A poor flame can also be caused by a poor gas valve.
CLEANING THE BARBECUE GRILLE
• Do not use sharp objects to clean the barbecue grille, as they may damage the surface.
• It is not necessary to clean the barbecue grille after each use. Allow the barbecue
to burn at maximum power for about 5 minutes after finishing barbecuing and then
remove any residues with a brush. Then wipe with paper towels.
• However, the barbecue grille should occasionally be cleaned more thoroughly. Use a
mild detergent and water. Rinse with clean water and let it dry.
• Before barbecuing, you can oil the barbecue grille with cooking oil so that food does
not get stuck during cooking.
CLEANING THE DRIP PLATE
When barbecuing, grease accumulates on the drip plate. Therefore, the drip plate should
be cleaned regularly, preferably after each barbecuing. If the drip plate is not cleaned
regularly, the grease may ignite and cause a fire during barbecuing.
