BARBEQUE CARE INSTRUCTIONS AFTER EVERY USE
- When cooking is finished, brush excess food residue off the surface and then turn burners to high with the hood open for 5 minutes. This will burn off most of the grease
- Turn the gas cylinder off. Let the barbeque burn out then switch the barbeque burners off. This clears any excess gas from your barbeque hose
- Use Bar-B-Chef Foaming Oil And Grease Remover to heavily coat dirty hot plates, grills and racks. Leave for up to a few hours if necessary to attack fat, grease and carbon
- Half fill a bucket with clean warm water and using a barbeque brush or scourer constantly soaked with water, scrub the cooking surface thoroughly
- Lightly coat your cast iron or steel hot plate with Bar-B-Chef Non Stick Barbeque Cooking Spray to prevent rusting. This is not required for Vitreous Enamel or Stainless Steel
- When the barbeque has completely cooled down, close the hood or weather lid to keep the cooking surface dry and rust free. Ensure barbeque is cool before covering with a barbeque cover
- See manufacturer's instructions for care and maintenance of barbeque body, hood and trolley.
IMPORTANT LPG SAFETY TIPS
- Store cylinder in a well ventilated area
- Use a cylinder sealing plug or a Gasfuse to reduce danger from leaks
- Always keep cylinder upright
- Have your cylinder safety inspected every 10 years
CONNECTING THE GAS CYLINDER
- Before connecting the cylinder, inspect the hose, fittings and rubber seals
- If there is any sign of splitting or wear, have the hose replaced
- Make sure all connections are tightened with a spanner and then conduct this simple test:
- Turn the gas on at the cylinder without turning on the barbeque
- Brush soapy water on all the connections
- If bubbles appear, then there is a leak
- Alternatively use a Gasfuse to conduct this test quickly and more thoroughly
- Keep the hose free of knots & kinks
- To prevent gas leaks connect a Gasfuse to cylinder
TRANSPORTING A GAS CYLINDER
- Ensure cylinder has been leak tested

- Do not store cylinder in a plastic milk crate as this may cause static electricity to build up
- Do not light a flame or cigarette close to the cylinder
- Do not leave the cylinder unattended in a vehicle
- Do not expose the cylinder to direct heat or sunlight in a vehicle or exposed area
- Drive slower and with care
