Do not use oven cleaners or other cle-
aning products while the griddle is still hot.
These could flavour the foods which you
later prepare on the Plancha. If the griddle
has already cooled down, it can be cleaned
using 'Barbecook all cleaner' and a non-
abrasive brush. Rinse with lots of water
and dry the griddle carefully.
To prolong the life of your appliance, you
should carry out all the activities listed
below, preferably at the start of the Plancha
season.
BURNERS AND VENTURI TUBES
IMPORTANT
Natural hazards - spiders and insects:
very small insects might make a web
or nest in the venturi tubes of the gas
burners (fig. E).
E
This will partly or completely block the
gas supply. A smoking yellow flame, or
a burner which is difficult or impossible
to ignite, are indications that this tube
is blocked. The gas may end up burning
outside the venturi tube and severely
damage your appliance. If this happens,
shut off the gas cylinder at once.
Cleaning the venturi tubes/burners
The burners and venturi tubes must be
removed for cleaning at least twice a year.
• Remove the burners as shown in fig. F.
• Clean the venturi tubes thoroughly. Clear
any blocked opening with a pipe cleaner
or brush (e.g. an unfolded paperclip).
• Replace the burner in accordance with
the instructions (fig. F). After cleaning,
the venturi tubes must be replaced prop-
erly on the gas valves.
• If the burner is split, or displays unu-
sual holes or other damage, it must be
replaced.

Note: damage due to a partly or wholly
obstructed venturi tube in a burner is
not covered by the warranty and will be
regarded as inadequate maintenance.
Special precautionary measures for
enamelled parts
(failing to follow these instructions will inva-
lidate the warranty)
• Metals and/or sharp objects can
damage the enamel.
• Avoid knocking the appliance
against a hard surface. This can
damage the enamel.
• In these models, the enamelling
process sometimes leaves thin
edges which are not fully covered
with enamel This is not regarded as
a manufacturing fault, and is there-
fore not covered by the warranty.
• When assembling enamelled
parts always use the fibre washers
supplied to prevent damaging the
enamel around the screw fixings.
Special precautionary measures for the
stainless steel parts
(failing to follow these instructions will inva-
lidate the warranty)
When cleaning stainless steel or chromed
parts, it is best to avoid aggressive, abra-
sive or metal cleaners. Use non-aggressive
cleaners and give them time to act. Always
use always a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse
thoroughly and dry well before you store
the appliance.
To prevent the formation of rust on stain-
less steel components, avoid any contact
with chlorine, salt or iron. The environ-
ment in which your appliance is used can
adversely affect its lifetime. Less suitable
locations include the coast, near railway
lines and the vicinity of a swimming pool.
