Cleaning

Gas kettle barbecue
Very little cleaning is required between uses as most of the fat either vaporizes or drains into the drip pan. If heavily soiled, heat the barbecue to high and let it burn for approximately 10 minutes. To clean the grid and funnel use a brass bristle barbecue brush (not a steel brush). For the remaining parts and thorough cleaning, use the BBQ Cleaner from OUTDOORCHEF or a nylon sponge and soapy water to remove all loose deposits.
IMPORTANT: After rinsing off the oven cleaner, dry the barbecue off completely by heating it on. Additional Grilling Surface of the Venezia Since most of the grease either burns off or collects in the drip pan, the amount of cleaning required between grilling rounds is minimal. To clean the barbecue, use a barbecue brush with brass bristles (not steel bristles). Remove the grilling surface and clean the cast-iron burners. Once you have finished cooking, you can remove and clean the drip pan with the OUTDOORCHEF BBQ Cleaner.

Important! If you use an oven cleaner, make sure you leave the barbecue to dry completely after cleaning. To accelerate the drying process, you can turn the barbecue to the highest setting for several minutes.

OUTDOORCHEF BBQ Cleaner – Use
For the sake of your hands, wear gloves and even glasses. Spray the barbecue or the accessories thoroughly while still warm. Leave to set for 15–30 minutes. Spray soiled surfaces again, vigorously rinse with water, and then dry.

Regular maintenance

Regular care of your barbecue will help keep it operating properly. Inspect the gas supply parts at least twice a year and always after long periods of storage. Inspect the burner tubes, as spider webs and other
insect nests can cause blockage of the gas flow from the valve(s) to the burner(s). Remove all obstructions. Occasionally inspect and tighten all hardware as this may become loose if the barbecue is moved over rough or hard ground. After a period of non-use, you should perform a leak test before using the barbecue again. If you are in any doubt, contact your local gas supplier or the agent responsible for selling the barbecue. Before storing your barbecue for the winter, lightly grease all exposed metal parts to prevent corrosion.

After winter storage and AT LEAST once more during the season, check the tube for cracking, chafing, kinking or other damage. A damaged tube MUST be replaced immediately as described in this manual.
To preserve the appearance of your barbecue and to enjoy using it for as long as possible, we recommend that once a year you treat all wooden parts with a wood oil – this will help to prevent distortion cracking. For an extension of the lifespan of your barbecue, we recommend covering the barbecue with an OUTDOORCHEF barbecue cover after it has cooled off completely, to protect it from the elements. To avoid
the accumulation of humidity, remove the barbecue cover after rain.
