CARE AND MAINTENANCE
General advice
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance, make sure that all burners are off, and gas to the
appliance has been shut off at the cylinder valve or shut-off valve.
Beware of hot surfaces. If you clean surfaces while they are still warm, make sure to wear barbecue mitts
for protection against heat and steam.
Clean and inspect the grill regularly, following the maintenance schedule below.
Keep the grill covered when not in use.
Recommended maintenance schedule
Before each use
Inspect the gas supply hose or piping for cracks, kinks, and any sign of abrasion or wear. If you find
evidence of any of these or are in doubt, do not use the appliance until it has been checked by a
qualified gas fitter.
After each use
Clean the grease tray to prevent grease accumulating, as grease deposits can become a fire hazard.
At the start of each season, or if the grill hasn’t been used for several weeks
Check supply connections for gas leaks. See following page for instructions. If there is any evidence of
leaks, do not use the appliance until it has been checked by a qualified gas fitter.
Inspect the grill burners thoroughly for spider webs and insect nests. If not removed, these could cause
a hazardous situation by blocking gas flow to the burners. Gas could then accumulate in the front of the
grill and catch on fire (called a ‘flashback’ fire). See further below for instructions on removing the grill
burners for cleaning.
Check the grill burners for clogged burner ports and any other sign of debris and blockage, clear if
necessary.
Periodically
Clean and re-season the grill grates and griddle plate.
Clean the full-width drip pan to prevent grease accumulating, as grease deposits could become a fire
hazard.
Check the power supply cord of the rotisserie motor for signs of damage. The rotisserie is not be used if
its cord is damaged.
At least twice a year
Have a qualified gas fitter check the gas supply connections and the entire system for gas leaks and
signs of damage or wear and tear.
Have a qualified gas fitter check the injectors for any sign of blockage or insect activity.
At least once a year
Check the spark ignition, and if necessary, replace the battery.
Every five years
Replace the hose on the ‘Quick-connect’ device (if used).
