17CLEANING YOUR BARBECUE
CLEANING YOUR BARBECUE
Stainless Steel Grills
Many food acids, marinades, juices and sauces contain
highly acidic elements that will slowly attack the surface of
the stainless steel if not removed immediately after cooking�
• After use, remove all solid material from the cooking
surfaces using a brass bristle brush or plastic scourer�
Brushes specifically designed for this purpose can
be purchased from your BeefEater retailer� Wipe off
remaining residue with a paper towel�
• Gently wash the surface of the grills with a soft sponge
and a solution of hot water and a mild dishwashing
liquid� Do not use highly caustic, harsh or abrasive
chemical cleaners to clean the cooking grills� Always
check the manufacturer’s recommendations for the
cleaner prior to use�
Before each subsequent use, pre-heat your barbecue for
10 minutes before cooking�
Grease Tray
Replace aluminium foil or absorbent material in drip tray at
regular intervals to prevent grease build-up, which could
result in a grease fire and void the barbecue warranty�
Burners
• Check main opening and throat on each burner
regularly for insect nests (eg� wasp, ants or spiders)�
Nests are dangerous and must be cleaned out
thoroughly�
• Remove burners periodically and scrub clean with
soapy water and a wire brush, making sure that the
ports are free of obstructions� Replace burners in the
correct position and dry by lighting each one to avoid
subsequent corrosion�
Stainless Steel Barbecue and Cart Panels
After the appliance has been used, wash down the surfaces
with hot soapy water� Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes as
these could damage the surface and graphics, especially on
the control panel�
The surface of the stainless steel has a grain� Always clean
in straight lines along the grain of the steel and avoid
scratching� Do not use steel wool�
Near the ocean or salt-water environment, wash regularly,
rinse and then dry before covering� Covering a salt sprayed
stainless steel product while still wet will allow salt deposits
to form, causing rust to form even on very high grade
stainless steel�
Discoloration of Stainless Steel
Discoloration of stainless steel, caused by high heat is
known as ‘Chromium Oxide’ and sometimes appears as a
light brown colouring over the surface of the steel� In most
cases, this discoloration can be removed with a suitable
stainless steel polish� Note: Discoloration of the stainless
steel is not covered under warranty�
To Remove The Hood For Cleaning
To remove the hood, first disconnect and remove the
rotisserie and warming rack�
The hood connects to the barbecue using four tabs� To
remove the hood, slide it back along the barbecue, and
carefully tilt it forward until the tabs disengage from the
slots�
To replace the hood, tilt the hood forward, and as the hood is
being lowered into place, insert the four tabs into the slots
on the barbecue� Slide the hood backwards until the tabs
lock into place�
