CARE & MAINTENANCE
- Location of your Barbecue
- DO NOT use your barbecue in garages, porches, sheds, breezeways, or other enclosed areas. Your barbecue is to be used OUTDOORS. The barbecue is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats and should not be placed under any surface that will burn. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the barbecue housing.
Protect Children
- Keep children away from barbecue during use and until barbecue has cooled after you have finished. Do not allow children to operate barbecue.
- Always ensure that no sporting or physical activities are carried out in close proximity to the barbecue during use and while still hot.
Tools You Will Need
- Adjustable spanner, Phillips head screwdriver.
Check Barbecue for any Damage
-
Inspect barbecue parts as you proceed. Contact your supplier for assistance regarding replacement of any damaged or missing parts. Do not assemble or operate
a barbecue that appears damaged. Barbecues for use with gas cylinders are labelled ‘Propane Gas’ or ‘Universal L.P.G’. Check labelling at the gas connection on your barbecue. -
As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance will keep them in top operating condition and prolong their life. Your new gas barbecue is no exception. By following these cleaning procedures on a timely basis, your barbecue will be kept clean and working properly with minimum effort.
Cleaning the Cooking Surface
- After cooking, turn burner control to ‘OFF’ and let barbecue cool before attempting to clean the cooking surface. Before first use and periodically, it is suggested that you wash the cooking surface in a mild soap and warm water solution.
Care of Cooking Surface
- Use and care of the cooking surface is important. Do not use pans on the cooking surface. Do not overheat the cooking surface with the hood down or no food on the cooking surface.
Cleaning the Drip Tray
- To avoid fat or grease dripping from the barbecue remove and empty the drip tray after each use. Wait until the drip tray is cool to touch before disposing of contents.
- The drip tray should be washed periodically in a mild detergent and warm water solution.
General Cleaning of Painted Surface
- When cleaning your BBQ use a mild dish soap combined with warm water and a microfiber cloth to clean the surface. Then rinse your BBQ with clean water.
- Note: Never use steel wool or any hard cleaning pad on any painted and stainless steel surface, as it can cause surface damage.
- If not in use, turn off the gas from the source. After cleaning and when it is dry, spray some canola oil over the whole BBQ surface and wipe off the excess with microfiber cloth to enhance the surface protection. Then cover the BBQ with a BBQ cover and store it in a dry place.
CARE AND CLEANING OF STAINLESS STEEL
- Stainless steel parts of this appliance are made from 304 & 430 grade stainless steel. To preserve the appearance and corrosion resistance of the stainless steel material regular cleaning is required. Although stainless steel does not rust in the same manner as steel it can still exhibit ‘corrosion’ blemishes that look similar to rust and detract from the appliances appearance. Unlike steel, the corrosion of stainless steel is mostly confined to the surface and in most cases can be removed by cleaning, returning the surface to almost like new.
- The most common form of corrosion that affects stainless steel is what is known as ‘Tea Staining”. This shows up as brown spots on the surface, hence the confusion with rusting. This is most common in coastal areas but depending on the environment can also occur in inland areas. If the ‘Tea Staining’ marks are not regularly cleaned from the material surface they can penetration into the material and become very difficult to remove, the application of a metal polish would then be required.
- If the appliance is located near swimming pools careful attention to cleaning is required. Pool chemicals contain chlorides which can affect the stainless steel. This also applies to salt water pools as they contain salt, namely sodium chloride.
- The use of bleaches containing chlorine should not be used to clean the stainless steel surfaces. If the residues are not completed rinsed away they can cause heavy pitting of the material. Pitting corrosion eats deep into the surface and is not easily removed.
- Heavy polishing is required.
ROUTINE CARE
- After each use allow the appliance to cool then wipe over with a soft, damp, soapy cloth. (DO NOT USE CLEANERS CONTAINING CHLORIDE). Finally wipe over with soft, damp cloth. Be sure to wipe off food particles and cooking residues, some marinates and oils can be acid and therefore attack the metal surface. Also, cooking residues that are not removed after each use bake into the surfaces during subsequent uses and become more difficult to remove.
- There are a number of propriety stainless steel cleaners available that can be safely used on this appliance. Read the directions carefully before using
- DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL as particles can become embedded in the surface and then rust resulting in small brown specs on the surface. If scouring is required to remove stubborn cooking residues use a soft nylon pad (non-abrasive).
- DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANING COMPOUNDS, use cream type. If the appliance is used on an irregular basis it is advised to still clean regularly and keep it covered from the elements, either by using a purpose BBQ cover or under a covered porch. Dirt and dust contain corrosive particles from the environment that can attack the surface. Stainless steel surfaces retain their best resistance to corrosion when keep clean. Even if the appliance is protected with a purpose BBQ cover check regularly, condensation underneath the cover may be corrosive due to the local environment and cause damage to the metal surface.
- After cleaning applying a thin coating of ‘light oil’, for example baby oil, will also help protect the stainless steel surface from the elements.
Stubborn Stains and Corrosion Spots
- Stubborn stains, discolouration, ‘Tea Staining’ can occur from insufficient cleaning, excessive spillage from cooking, severe environmental conditions and extreme cooking conditions.
- There are propriety stainless steel cleaners available that are designed for such instances. Read the instructions carefully before using.
- Always rub or wipe in the direction of the surface grain or original polish lines.
- Some stainless steel cleaners may damage painted or plastic surfaces, read the directions carefully.
Flash-Back
- Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the burner tubes during warehousing and transit. These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruction which could result in a fire in and around the burner tubes. Cleaning with a soft brush before use and at least every six months is recommended.
- This type of fire is known as ‘FLASH-BACK’ and can cause serious damage to your barbecue and create an unsafe operating condition for the user. Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of ‘FLASH-BACK’ it is the most common cause and frequent inspection and cleaning of the burner tubes is necessary.
- If fire occurs in and around the burner, immediately turn off gas at its source and turn the burner control to ‘OFF’, wait until the barbecue has cooled, then clean the burner tubes and burner ports.
CLEANING THE BURNER
- Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace burners.
-
Turn gas off at control knobs and gas cylinder.
-
Remove cooking grates and grease tray.
-
Remove clip at end of burner.
-
Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
-
CAUTION: Inspect burner for any damage (cracks or holes). If damage is found, replace with a new burner. Reinstall the burner, check to ensure that the gas valve orifices are correctly positioned and secured inside the burner inlet.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one easiest for you. -
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well) into a small hook. Run the hook through each burner tube several times.
-
(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (DO NOT use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each burner tube several times.
-
(C) Wear eye protection: use an air hose to force air into the burner tube and out the air ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.
-
-
Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt.
-
Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.
-
Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.
-
Carefully refit burners, ensuring they are located on the gas valve.
-
Replace clip at the end of burner.
-
Replace grease tray and cooking grates.
WARNING
- Beware of spiders and wasps. Burner tube should be inspected and cleaned periodically.
- To avoid any flare-ups, it is recommended that the drip tray be checked and emptied regularly. Contents of the drip tray may be very hot during cooking. If emptied during extended cooking extreme caution should be taken and direct contact by hand should be avoided at all times. Allow to cool completely before disposing of the contents.
- Should the burners extinguish for any reason, turn off all control knobs and the cylinder gas valve. Wait 5 minutes before attempting to relight the appliance.
- If a grease or fat fire occurs, turn off all control knobs and gas cylinder valve immediately until the fire is out.
- A leak test must be carried out prior to using the appliance for the first time or each time the gas cylinder is refilled or each time the gas hose and gas regulator being disconnected from the gas cylinders or appliance.
PRODUCT DIMENSIONS
WARNING
This drop-in BBQ is designed to sit flush with the bench. However, if you
choose to install the BBQ on top of the stone bench, you need to make sure the
legs are supporting the BBQ.
The appliance requires venting. When the BBQ is sitting flush with the bench,
there is an approximate 2mm gap around the BBQ edge with the bench. This gap
plays an important role of venting, therefore, it should not be sealed with
silicon. If you choose, however, to seal the gap, a rectangular unimpeded
opening of approx 750mm W x 10mm H in either the front or the rear should be
incorporated within the cabinet. Please refer to diagram below as an example.
BENCH CUT-OUT DIMENSIONS
Feet Adjustment:
- 4 adjustable feet are supplied with the BBQ. Please ensure all 4 feet are attached to the BBQ for height adjustment. If you plan to install the drop in BBQ in our Alfreco Plus BBQ cabinet module, please adjust the feet of the BBQ so that overall height is 290mm. Adjust the feet of the BBQ so all edges sit flush. If you choose to build your own cabinet, please adjust the feet height accordingly.
Drip tray access:
- Please note that you must allow access under the BBQ for the drip tray to be removed.
UNDER BENCH CLEARANCE:
- 150mm ALL AROUND SIDE WALLS OF BBQ
SPACER BRACKETS
- Two spacer brackets have been provided. They are essentially for customers who mount their BBQ into a different type of cavity / cabinetry, where (unlike the AlfrescoPlus BBQ module designed for the BBQ) there are no doors covering the front face of the BBQ – but just a cut out to access the drip tray (880mm x 50mm).
- In that set-up, the drip tray could protrude out from the BBQ but aligns up with the cabinet front. Those brackets essentially just push forward the drip tray, for that type of set-up / cabinetry.
