Maintenance - Cleaning Your Barbeque                                                      

Your barbeque will look better and last longer if you keep it clean. Follow these simple steps:

• 

Throwing cold water over any hot surface of the barbeque is NOT recommended 

and is potentially dangerous.

• 

Avoid handling and touching hot parts of the barbeque.

The Cooking Surface:

Once cooking is finished a burn-off process to clean the barbeque should be as follows:

• 

Remove all excess burnt food with a long handled scraper or brush.

• 

Light both burners, set to the

 HIGH 

position and leave running with the hood fully 

open for approximately 5 minutes.

• 

During this 5 minute period most excess food, fat and juices should be burnt off 

making cleaning easier.

• 

The roasting hood must be left in the open position during the burn off period.

• 

Turn the barbeque 

OFF

 at the control knobs and at the gas supply valve.

• 

Using Bar-B-Chef Heavy Duty Cleaner and warm water, scrub the cooking surfaces 

with a long handled brush or scourer. Rinse thoroughly with fresh warm water.

• 

Once dry, store barbeque with the hood closed and out of the elements and direct 

sunlight.

The Burners: 

• 

Occasionally the burner holes may get slightly clogged with grease and food 

particles. Leaving the burners on 

HIGH

 for a maximum of 5 minutes with the hood 

open after you’ve finished cooking will remove most of this. 

• 

Check the burners periodically for more persistent blockages. In particular, you 

should ensure that the aeration vents are free of insect nests and spider webs. 

• 

To clean the burners, once 

OFF

, let them cool down and inspect them. If any of the 

holes are clogged, use a toothpick to unclog the holes.

The Barbeque Firebox and Hood

:

 

• 

Regular care and maintenance of the barbeque firebox and hood will significantly 

increase its life and long term appearance.

• 

Excess grease and fat can be removed using Bar-B-Chef Heavy Duty BBQ 

Cleaner and warm water with a soft scraper (not metal edged). Do not use caustic 

cleaning agents as these can quickly damage surface coatings and gradually 

damage even metal finishes.

• 

Before cleaning the inside of the body it is advisable to cool, then remove the 

cooking surfaces and be careful not to get water into the burner holes.

• 

Care must be taken not to immerse the gas controls (manifold and injectors) in 

water.

• 

After cleaning and re-assembling the barbeque it is important to check that the 

barbeque functions correctly.
