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).
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.
Drip Tray
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.
Never remove the grease tray while the barbecue is hot. Always remove and clean the grease tray after the
unit has cooled down.
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.
Cleaning Your Barbecue
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
