FAQ

How should I connect my barbecue to the gas bottle?

REGULATOR AND HOSE

Use only a regulator and hose approved for the gas type and nominal pressure stated on the grill and in the Technical Information section in this manual. The life expectancy of the regulator is estimated as 10 years. It is recommended that the regulator is changed within 10 years of the date of manufacture.

The use of the wrong regulator or hose is unsafe; always check that you have the correct items before operating the barbecue.

The hose used must conform to the relevant standard for the country of use. The length of the hose must be 1.5 meters (maximum). Worn or damaged hose must be replaced. Ensure that the hose is not obstructed, kinked, or in contact with any part of the barbecue other than at its connection.

The hose should not be twisted or kinked when attached to the gas cylinder.

No part of the hose should touch any part of the appliance.

How should I clean/maintain my gasbarbecue ?

CLEANING AND CARE

CAUTION: All cleaning and maintenance should be carried out when the barbecue is cool and with the fuel supply turned OFF at the gas cylinder.

CLEANING

 “Burning off” the barbecue after every use (for approx 15 minutes) will keep excessive food residue to a minimum.

OUTSIDE SURFACE

Use mild detergent or baking soda and hot water solution. Non-abrasive scouring powder can be used on stubborn stains, then rinse with water.

If the inside surface of the barbecue lid has the appearance of peeling paint, baked on grease build up has turned to carbon and is flaking off. Clean thoroughly with strong hot soapy water solution. Rinse with water and allow to completely dry. NEVER USE OVEN CLEANER

INTERIOR OF BARBECUE BOTTOM

Remove residue using brush, scraper and/or cleaning pad then wash with a soapy water solution. Rinse with water and allow dry it.

PLASTIC SURFACES

Wash with a soft cloth and hot soapy water solution. Rinse with water. Do not use abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated barbecue cleaner on plastic parts.

COOKING GRID

Use a mild soapy water solution. Non-abrasive scouring powder can be used on stubborn stains then rinse with water.

GREASE TRAY AND GREASE CUP (Make sure grill and grease is not hot)

Please do not open the grease tray during use.

When clean the grease tray, take away the grease cup first then pull out the grease tray. Please check the grease cup on time and take away the oil when 1/3 full.

Method: after the grease cup cold, make grease cup up in horizontal line and move it with hook reverse horizontally, this could take out the grease cup

CLEANING THE BURNER ASSEMBLY

Turn the gas OFF at the control knob and disconnect the cylinder.

Remove cooling grate.

Clean the burner with a soft brush or blow clean with compressed air and wipe with a cloth.

Clean any clogged ports with a pipe cleaner or stiff wire (such as an opened paper clip).

Inspect burner for any damage (cracks or holes). If damage is found, replace with a new burner. Original Kooki© burners can be ordered through www.kookibbq.com. Reinstall the burner, check to ensure that the gas valve orifices are correctly positioned and secured inside the burner inlet (venturi).

In some cases your barbecue will light back because of an insect crawling inside the burner venturi or a spider spinning its web inside the burner. This can be rectified by using a bottle brush inserted through the burner venturi and pushing it into the burner over the burner length. If condition persists consult your gas dealer.

SERVICING

Your gas barbecue should be serviced annually by a competent registered person.

It appears as if the paint on the inside of the lid is peeling off. What should I do?

This is not paint peeling off. What you are noticing is a deposit of grease and smoke that collects during normal use. During use, the grease and smoke vapours slowly oxidise into carbon and collect on the inside of your lid. Simply brush off all loose particles with a brass brush or crumpled aluminium foil before you start grilling. To prevent future build-up, after every grilling session, while the barbecue lid is warm-not hot-wipe it with paper towels or a mild soap-and-water solution.
