Switch off and let the barbecue cool
Follow the model instructions to shut down the appliance and wait until surfaces are cool before handling removable parts. Never pour water onto a hot grill or touch gas/electrical connections.
Clean accessible residue and tray
Use a tool and product the manufacturer permits for the grate coating. Empty a grease tray only when cool and dispose of waste appropriately. Avoid abrasives that can damage enamel or non-stick finishes.
Keep burners, igniters and controls protected
Do not soak or spray parts that the manual says must stay dry. Stop if a gas odour, damaged hose, electrical fault, corrosion or blocked component is noticed; contact a qualified technician.
Reserve deep cleaning for model-approved methods
Do not use petrol, fuel, bleach or mixed chemicals. Do not improvise a burn-off process. For heavy buildup or delicate components, follow the maker or arrange a suitable specialist clean.
