Inspect before use
Check the appliance exterior, accessible grates, trays and visible components for damage, loose parts or heavy residue. If you notice a gas smell, damaged hose, faulty ignition or electrical issue, do not light the BBQ; contact an appropriately qualified technician.
Clean after it is switched off and cool
Allow the BBQ to cool fully before cleaning. Remove loose food debris with a tool approved for the grate coating, and empty the drip tray only as the manufacturer directs. Do not use a loose wire brush, scraper or abrasive on an unknown surface.
Store tools and accessories safely
Keep clean utensils and BBQ accessories dry and stored away from chemicals. Cover or store the appliance only as its manual recommends and when it is fully cool; do not block vents or leave grease-soiled cloths near heat.
Keep cleaning and maintenance separate
Cleaning accessible residue does not inspect for gas leaks, restore a burner, prevent every flare-up or certify food safety. Do not dismantle components or burn off heavy grease unless a qualified person and manufacturer direct the procedure.
