P. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Never modify the appliance: any modification may prove
dangerous.
y In order to maintain your appliance in perfect operating
condition, it is recommended to clean it periodically (after
4 or 5 uses).
y Wait until the appliance has cooled down before cleaning.
y (Fig. 9) Clean the top of the burner, as well as the sides
and base, using a moist sponge (water with dish washing
liquid). If necessary, use a damp steel brush.
y (Fig. 9) Check that all burner outlets (OH) are clear and dry
before using again. If necessary, use a wire brush to unclog
the burner outlets.
y (Fig. 9) Clean the orifices on the Venturi (VO) or the burner
if necessary.
y The grill burner must be cleaned and checked every 3
months. Remove the entire burner (Fig. 9) and check that
no dirt or spider webs are blocking the venturi tube openings
(Fig. 4), which may cause the burner to be less efficient or
cause a dangerous gas fire outside the burner.
Refit the grill burner correctly.
NOTE: Regular cleaning extends the lifetime of the burner and
prevents premature oxidation that may result from cooking
acid residue. Oxidation of the grill burner is, however, normal.
Control panel
Clean the control panel from time to time using a sponge
damped with dish washing liquid. do not use abrasive
products.
Firebox wall
To facilitate the cleaning of the firebox wall, Campingaz
has invented Campingaz InstaClean
removable firebox. Thanks to Campingaz InstaClean
parts of the firebox are removable in under one minute without
GB
a need for a tool. These parts are dishwasher safe.
depending on the degree of dirtiness of these parts, it may
be necessary to brush the parts before putting them into the
dishwasher for a more complete cleaning.
For the assembly and removal of these parts, refer to the
assembly manual.
For reassembly after cleaning, put in the two walls numbered
"1-2" first, and then the walls numbered "2-3", and finally the
two side walls numbered "3-1" (Fig. 11).
Grease collection tray
depending on the model, your barbecue may be equipped
with one or two grease collection trays. It is recommended that
you clean it (them) after each use. It (they) can be washed in
the dishwasher.
For ease of cleaning, you may cover the grease tray(s) with
disposable aluminum foil. After use of the barbecue, discard
the aluminium foil.
To easily absorb cooking grease, you may spread a handful of
sand onto the bottom of the grease collection tray. discard the
sand after each use.
Griddle and grid
The griddle and grid are enamelled.
Wait for them to cool before any cleaning operation. Use
a Campingaz
BBQ Cleaner Spray cleaning product and
®
brushes for barbecues.
You may clean your griddle and grid in the dishwasher. Before
putting them into the dishwasher, it is often necessary to
scrape them with a sponge or a metallic brush to remove
residue that sticks to the cooking surface.
(Fig. 12) To remove the griddle and grid, slide your finger into
the indicated holes, lift them and take hold of them with the
other hand.

The cast iron cooking surfaces are porcelain enamelled which
protects the cooking surface material from corrosion. Cast iron
cooking surfaces can come in either a shiny and glossy look or
in a thinner textured matt appearance. To keep them in pristine
condition, it is important to oil matt cast iron surfaces after
cleaning. Grilled foods don't stick as easily to the surface which
aids cleaning and extends the lifetime of the cooking surface.
Wood (depending on the model):
For protection and the maintenance of natural appearance,
the wood on your barbecue is covered with protective oil. It is
however a living material which remains sensitive to exposure
to the sun ray, humidity and changes in temperature.
Stainless Steel:
Stainless steel is known for its ability to resist corrosion and
rust. However, dirt, dust, grime and non-appropriate cleaners
put stainless steel at risk for corrosion and rust. Stainless steel
responds well to cleaning as long as certain rules are followed
DO :
y Read carefully the instructions on the cleaning products
and make sure it's appropriate for stainless steel.
Ideally, use specific stainless steel cleaners. Pay special
attention to some of them which can be inappropriate for
paints, these look like aluminum or stainless steel and
can erase markings.
y Use a safe, non-abrasive sponge. Brush in the direction
of the grain of the metal.
y Rinse thoroughly.
y Always dry the surface with a soft towel or cloth. A
microfibre towel is preferable.
DON'T :
y Never leave wet sponges, cloths, or cleaning pads on the
Stainless steel surface.
y Never leave solutions of chlorine bleach and water on
your Stainless steel surface. Chlorides, which are found
in most soaps, detergents, bleaches, and cleansers, are
very aggressive to stainless steel.
y Never use oven cleaners that contain caustic chemicals.
y do not use paper towel or scratch-sponges.
To keep your barbecue looking new, we recommend you
cover it with a Campingaz
®
accessory.
Important:
Wait for the barbecue to cool down completely before putting
on its protective cover. At the beginning of the season, apply a
coat of linseed oil or teak oil onto the wood parts with a rag or
brush in order to give them a more brilliant appearance and to
maintain their protection.
Q. STORAGE
y Close the gas cylinder valve after use.
y If you store your barbecue indoors, disconnect the gas
cylinder and store the cylinder outdoors.
y If you store your barbecue outdoors, it is recommended that
a protective cover be used.
y When not used for a long period of time, it is recommended
that the barbecue be stored in a dry, sheltered place (eg:
garage).
y Environment conducive to corrosion: particular care must
be taken with the product if used by the sea; it must not
be stored outside without protection, and must be kept
sheltered in a dry environment.
