Stainless Steel Grills
Many food acids, marinades, juices and sauces contain highly acidic elements that will slowly attack the
surface of the stainless steel if not removed immediately after cooking.
• After use, remove all solid material from the cooking surfaces using a brass bristle brush or plastic scourer.
Brushes specifically designed for this purpose can be purchased from your BeefEater retailer. Wipe off
remaining residue with a paper towel.
• Gently wash the surface of the grills with a soft sponge and a solution of hot water and a mild dishwashing
liquid. Do not use highly caustic, harsh or abrasive chemical cleaners to clean the cooking grills. (Always
check the manufacturer’s recommendations for the cleaner prior to use.
Before each subsequent use, pre-heat your BeefEater for 10 minutes before cooking.
Drip Tray
Replace aluminium foil or absorbent material in drip tray at regular intervals to prevent grease build-up, which
could result in a grease fire and void the barbecue warranty.
Burners
• Check main opening, throat and venturi to each burner regularly for insect nests (eg. wasp, ants or spiders).
Nests are dangerous and must be cleaned out thoroughly.
• Remove burners periodically and scrub clean with soapy water and a wire brush making sure that the
ports are free of obstructions. Replace burners in the correct position and dry by lighting each one to avoid
subsequent corrosion.
Stainless Steel Barbecue and Cart Panels
After the appliance has been used, wash down the surfaces with hot soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or
brushes as these could damage the surface and graphics, especially on the control panel.
The surface of the stainless steel has a grain. Always clean in straight lines along the grain of the steel and
avoid scratching. Do not use steel wool.
Near the ocean or salt-water environment, wash regularly, rinse and then dry before covering. Covering a salt
sprayed stainless steel product while still wet will allow salt deposits to form, causing rust to form even on
very high grade Stainless.
Discoloration of Stainless Steel
Discoloration of stainless steel, caused by high heat is known as ‘Chromium Oxide’ and sometimes appears
as a light brown colouring over the surface of the steel. In most cases, this discoloration can be removed with
a suitable stainless steel polish. Note: Discoloration of the Stainless steel is not covered under warranty.
Cleaning Your Barbecue
To Remove The Hood For Cleaning
To remove the hood, first disconnect and remove the
rotisserie and warming rack.
The hood connects to the barbecue using four
tabs. To remove the hood, slide it back along the
barbecue, and carfully tilt it forward until the tabs
disengage from the slots.
