The Drip Tray
:
•
You should change the fat absorbent material regularly and keep the fat tray itself
clean to prevent a build up of grease. If you don’t do this, a fat fire can result. This
can be quite dangerous, and will certainly void the warranty on your barbeque.
•
A good tip is to line the bottom of the fat tray with a layer of Fatsoak (available
from your local Barbeques Galore store).
Other Surfaces
:
•
Once BBQ has cooled, wipe down as required with warm soapy water.
Storing your Barbeque
Your barbeque is designed to be used outdoors. However, just like a car, you will prolong
the life of the appliance if you store it out of direct exposure to the elements when not in
use. Ideally:
•
Place a waterproof cover over it. These are available from all Barbeques Galore
stores.
•
Where possible, move the barbeque to a covered location. If you are storing it in
a closed room (e.g. a shed or a garage) you should keep the cylinder away from
any other cylinders or any cars, boats, motorcycles or any other petrol engines.
•
If you don’t intend to use it for a few months, lightly spray all surfaces with canola
oil. This will help protect the surface from deterioration.
Servicing your Barbeque
Apart from cleaning, your barbeque is a fairly low maintenance item. A couple of things
are worth looking at though. Remember to turn
OFF
, cool the BBQ down and disconnect
the gas before any maintenance is carried out.
•
If there are any signs of wear or cracking in the barbeque hose, you will need to
replace it immediately. Ensure you replace it with a hose and regulator purchased
from Barbeques Galore to ensure proper gas connection compatibility. Connect
the nut of the hose to the gas inlet on the right side of the barbeque. You MUST
use a spanner to tighten it properly. Do not use sealing tape. The connection
is designed to seal properly without it. Perform a leak test as explained in the
installation section before using.
•
If your barbeque uses a flexible hose to connect to the gas, check the rubber
O-ring on the regulator end of the hose assembly at least once a year. If it
appears worn or cracked, have it replaced.
•
We recommend having your barbeque checked by an authorised service agent
every 5 years. This is to ensure there are no leaks and that all components are
still functioning correctly.
