To get many years of service out of your barbecue, perform the following procedures at least once a year, especially at the start of a new season.

Grill: Apply a light coating of cooking oil to the grating to prevent food from sticking. After each use, and after the barbecue has cooled down, scrub the grating with a non-abrasive brush. Alternatively, you can wash the grating with a mild detergent or baking soda, but do not use a commercial oven cleaner.

Burner and Venturi Tube: At a minimum of twice a year, it is important to remove the burner and Venturi tube and clean them, making sure that all dirt and rust is removed. Use a wire to clean out the hole in the Venturi tube. Make sure the bottom housing is clean and all holes are clear. If the burner has been damaged or has rusted, replace it as soon as pos- sible. If the burner is in good shape, reinstall it in the correct position. Also ensure that the Venturi tube is centred over the valve outlet.

•Purchase a barbecue cover to protect your investment.

•Stainless steel surfaces should be cleaned with stainless steel appliance spray cleaner, or a non-chlorine based cleaner (e.g. flat-top stove cleaner). Do not use an abrasive sponge/brush on stainless steel, as it may scratch it.

•Do not use oven cleaner anywhere on your barbecue.

S T O R A G E	When the outdoor cooking season is over and you’re going to store the unit for the winter,
	please do the following:
	• After removing and cleaning the burner and grill (lightly oil
	the grill after cleaning) wrap them in paper and store indoors.
	• The barbecue, after being covered, can be stored outdoors.
	• Do not store the L.P. cylinder in an enclosed area.
	• Remove igniter battery to avoid corrosion, if storing unit away
	in the winter, or a prolonged period.
	When the barbecue is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the cylinder valve. The bar-
	becue and cylinder need to be stored outdoors, in well-ventilated area. Do not store the
	barbecue in a garage or near heat. If there is a need for the barbecue to be stored indoors,
	remove the cylinder. Continue to store the cylinder outside in the well-ventilated area and
	make sure the cylinder’s safety cap is firmly threaded on the valve.
