6. There is a brass hose tail (pictured on the following page) underneath the barbecue on the right hand side to suit a 12mm inside diameter flexible hose (hose not supplied). This is for drainage purposes – run a suitable length of hose from the brass hose tail to the required location.

MAINTENANCE
How to clean your barbecue
The outer body of your Epicure Pro barbecue is manufactured from quality 316 marine grade stainless steel, and the plate is aluminium with a Teflon coating. As its name suggests, `stainless’ steel stains less than steel but it must be cleaned regularly. If the barbecue has not been cleaned for long periods, you may notice a brown discolouration starting to form on the stainless steel surfaces - this is called tea-staining and it can be prevented by following this cleaning guide.
External cleaning
- The exterior surfaces should be cleaned or wiped down regularly to prevent tea-staining and to prolong the high finish of the stainless steel.
- If tea-staining occurs it should be attended to in the early stages as it will be much easier to remove. If left, it will gradually get worse until it turns into rust.
- Washing the exterior of the barbecue using a wet cloth and warm soapy water will help to remove general contamination found in the air such as dust, dirt and salt. Do not hose the barbecue or pour water directly over the controls.
- When applied to the external surfaces, silicone-based polishes are ideal to help the stainless steel form a protective layer to prevent tea-staining and rusting. Apply and work the polish with a soft cloth then remove the polish with a second, clean, soft cloth. Do not use silicone based products on the cooking surface.
- Do not use scouring pads or steel wool on the stainless steel body, surround or control panel as it will damage the stainless steel surface, leaving it prone to rusting.
Cleaning the barbecue plate
1. The plate can be removed for easy cleaning using the supplied plate lifting tool as pictured below:
2. After cooking, the surface should be carefully wiped with paper towel or a damp cloth. Alternatively, the hot plate can be removed using the plate lifter once the barbecue has cooled. It can then be washed with warm soapy water.
3. Do not use scouring pads or steel wool on the hot plate surface.
4. Please note the barbecue plate is not dishwasher safe.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN YOUR BARBECUE WILL VOID WARRANTY
