CLEANING AND STORING YOUR BARBECUE
Cleaning Vitreous Enamel Surfaces and Barbecue Control
Panel
Although porcelain enamel will keep its lustrous finish even
under adverse conditions, it still needs regular cleaning.
After the appliance has been used, wash down the surfaces
with hot soapy water. Caustic cleaners should be avoided.
For barbecues near the ocean or salt-water environment,
more frequent cleaning and servicing should be conducted.
Wash regularly, rinse and then dry before covering. (In a salt
water or marine environment, more rapid deterioration can
be expected which is not covered by warranty).
The cleaning and care instructions are essential for the
proper functioning and operation of your appliance over time.
Failure to adhere to these care instructions may affect your
ability to make a claim under the manufacturer’s warranty.
Cleaning Plates and Grills
Many food acids, marinades, juices and sauces contain
highly acidic elements that will slowly attack the surface of
the plates and grills if not removed 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.
• Coat the grills with a layer of cooking oil. This will help
protect the surfaces between uses.
• For porcelain enamel coated cooking surfaces, do not
use any metal tools to clean the surface. Use only
a brass bristle wire brush to remove hard deposits.
Do not clean the cooking surfaces in a dishwashing machine.
For hard deposits and heavy grease, do not use steel wool
or metal scrapers. Use concentrated detergent or domestic
cleaning powders.
Cleaning The Drip Tray
Never remove the grease tray while the barbecue is hot.
Always remove and clean the grease tray after the unit has
cooled down.
Replace aluminium foil on main drip tray (if used) and clean
both waste trays at regular intervals to prevent grease build-
up, which could result in a grease fire and void the barbecue
warranty.
Cleaning The Burners
• Check main opening, throat and venturi to 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.
A clogged burner can lead to a fire beneath the grill.
Storing Your Barbecue
When storing barbecue for extended periods, be certain all
controls and cylinder valves are turned off. If storing the
barbecue indoors remove gas cylinder and store the cylinder
in a ventilated area outdoors.
Gas cylinders must be stored outdoors, out of reach of
children and must not be stored in a building, garage or any
other enclosed area.
The barbecue should be covered when not in use. eg a
polyester or vinyl barbecue cover. Frequently check and
tighten all nuts and bolts on the barbecue and trolley
The gas cylinder supply valve must be turned off when the
appliance is not in use.
WARNING
WARNING
Note: For storage and cylinder exchange, disconnect hose
at the cylinder only, do not disconnect hose from appliance.
Please note that environmental conditions need to be taken
into account with regards to the maintenance required on
your product. In particular units installed in humid climates
or seaside locations will be more susceptible to surface
corrosion/discolouration over time. In these conditions
Electrolux strongly recommends cleaning and drying your
barbecue after every use and covering it when not in use to
minimise exposure to the elements.
