7. Care of the Reversible Grill Plate
?
The Reversible Grill Plate is coated with a tough durable non-stick coating that has been used with great success on
some of the best cookware in the world. Nevertheless, taking care of it can help you to enjoy extra years of healthy,
easy, non-stick cooking. Here's what to do:
?
Before the first use, lightly rub cooking oil onto the surface and leave the Safari Chef on medium heat for two or three
minutes. When it cools, rinse in warm water with a mild detergent.
?
Use only low or medium heat settings to help retain the valuable nutrients in the food and maintain the non-stick
surface.
?
Whilst the non-stick coating is very durable, use only plastic or wooden utensils when cooking.
?
Do not overheat the Grill Plate and always add a little cooking oil to the surface before use.
?
Always allow the Grill Plate to cool before immersing it in water.
?
The Grill Plate is perfectly safe in the dishwasher, but the non-stick surface is so easy to clean that a quick handwash
does the trick. The use of abrasive detergents is not recommended as this will permanently damage the non-stick
surface.
?
If burned grease or food residue collects on the surface, it can usually be removed with warm water and a mild, non-
abrasive detergent. In an extreme case, it can be removed by a thorough cleaning with a mixture of 3 tablespoons of
bleach, 1 tablespoon of liquid detergent and 1 cup of water. Apply to the cooking surface with a sponge or plastic
scrubbing pad.
?
After cleaning recondition the surface with a light wipe of oil.
8. Cleaning the Barbecue Unit
?
To clean the Deflector Plates and the Wire Grid, wash in warm water with a non-abrasive detergent after first wiping off
any excess fat left after cooking.
?
To Clean the Dome, wash in warm water with a non-abrasive detergent.
?
Do not use an abrasive cleaner on any part, as this will damage its surface coating.
?
These parts are perfectly safe to clean in the dishwasher after removing any excess fat.
9. Cleaning the Body / Leg Unit
?
This is best cleaned by using a soft damp cloth and a mild non-abrasive detergent. Do not place in a dishwasher as this
may allow water into the valve or burner ports, which will cause the unit to malfunction.
?
When cleaning the body/leg unit the pot stand may need to be removed. This can be done by holding down the body
and firmly lifting the pot stand by the outer ring adjacent to one of its support legs to unclip it and then lifting the entire
unit clear.
10.Maintenance

Replacing a blocked jet
:
?
Your Cadac Safari Chef is fitted with a specific size Jet (P) to correctly regulate the flow of gas (See Fig.6).
?
If the Jet becomes blocked, it should be replaced. Do not attempt to clean the jet as this may damage the orifice.
?
To replace the Jet (P), turn the unit upside down. Loosen & remove the 4 screws holding the valve bracket to the body.
remove the Valve Cover assembly from the body. The jet is now accessible. Use a suitable size spanner to remove the
jet. Do not use pliers to remove the jet as this may damage it, making it impossible for it to be removed from the valve.
?
To fit the new jet, reverse the above procedure making sure that the Jet (P) and Venturi (L) mate correctly before
tightening the screws. Do not over-tighten the jet.
