Always keep raw meat away from cooked meat and other foods.
Before cooking, ensure side burner surfaces and tools are clean and free of old food residue.
Do not use the same utensils to handle cooked and uncooked foods.
Ensure all meat is cooked thoroughly before eating.
CAUTION – eating raw or undercooked meat can cause food poisoning (e.g bacteria strains such as E. coli)
To reduce the risk of undercooked meat, cut it open to ensure it is cooked all the way through internally.
CAUTION – if meat has been cooked sufficiently the meat juices should be clear in color and there should be no traces of pink/red juice or meat coloring.
After cooking on your side burner always clean the cooking surfaces and utensils.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Regularly clean your side burner between uses and especially after extended periods of storage.
Ensure the side burner is sufficiently cool before cleaning.
Do not leave the unit exposed to outside weather conditions or stored in damp, moist areas.

In order to extend the life and maintain the condition of your side burner, we strongly recommend that the unit is covered when left outside for any length of time, especially during the winter months.
IMPORTANT – We recommend that servicing of this side burner should be performed either after every 100 hours of use or annually, whichever is achieved soonest.

Caution

In the event of an uncontrollable fire, immediately disconnect the gas cylinder move it away from the fire, and contact the fire services. DO NOT PUT YOURSELF AT RISK!
Ensure aerosols are not used near this side burner when in use.
Ensure all packaging and plastic bags are disposed of safely.

Burner (2) Maintenance

In normal usage, burning off the residue after cooking will keep the burners clean.
The burners should be cleaned annually, or whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) in either the burner portholes or the venturi tubes of the burners fitted over the valve outlets. A blocked burner can lead to a fire beneath the grill.
Visually inspect the operation of the burners.

See the figure below showing the correct burning. There should be flame from all portholes. IKEA GRILLSKAR Stainless Steel Outdoor Side Burner

STORAGE

Do not leave your side burner uncovered when not in use. Store your side burner in a cool dry place like a shed or garage when not in use to protect against the effects of extreme weather conditions, particularly if you live near coastal areas.
Prolonged exposure to sunlight, standing water, and sea air/saltwater can all cause damage to your appliance. (A cover may not be sufficient to protect your appliance in some of these situations).

Cover the burners with aluminum foil in order to prevent insects or other debris from collecting in burner holes.
If the side burner is to be stored indoors, the gas cylinder must be disconnected and left outside. The gas cylinder should always be stored outside, in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from any sources of heat or ignition. Do not let children tamper with the cylinder.
Cylinders must be stored out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
