Your portable BBQ comes with a removable fat cup which should be attached to the front of the appliance, prior to use.

Hold the fat cup vertically to manoeuvre it into position, then twist the fat up to slide the catch over the hook. When removing the fat cup , it is important to keep the fat cup upright to avoid spilling the contents.

Seasoning the BBQs hot plate is up to personal preference. If you are to season the hot plate, we recommend spreading a light layer of oil over the hot plate, remembering that different oils have different smoke points.

Step-by-step guide to cleaning your Classic Electric Portable BBQ:

1. Safety precautions: Ensure the BBQ is turned off and the hot plate is completely cool before cleaning to avoid burns.
2. Scrape hot plate: Use a BBQ scraper to remove grease, oil, or stuck-on food from the hot plate. Use a paper towel to wipe and remove residue from hot plate and wipe scraper clean throughout this process. Dispose of residues properly.
3. Wipe down: With a soft sponge or microfibre cloth gently wipe down full exterior of the BBQ. The exterior surfaces of the BBQ should be cleaned or wiped regularly to prevent tea-staining and to prolong the high finish of the stainless steel. If tea-staining occurs, it should be attended to in the early stages as it will be much easier to remove. If left, it will gradually get worse until it turns to rust.
4. Prepare soapy water: Using a large bowl or small bucket, mix a solution of warm soapy water.
5. Wipe down: Using the bowl or bucket of warm soapy water, dampen the soft dish sponge or cloth and gently wipe down the full exterior of the barbecue. It may be helpful to remove the control knob while wiping around the control panel. Wiping the exterior will help to remove general contamination found in the air such as dust, dirt, and salt. Do not pour water directly over the BBQ controls.
6. Clean hot plate: Make sure the fat cup is empty. Dampen the non-scratch scouring pad in the warm soapy water and scrub the hot plate. The duplex grade stainless steel hot plate is extremely durable and as much force as is necessary may be applied to the scouring pad. To remove stubborn burns and black marks, pour a small amount of white cleaning vinegar onto the hot plate and add a sprinkling of bi-carb soda. Allow the bi-carb soda to fizz for approximately 10-20 seconds then continue to scrub the burn marks with the non-scratch scouring pad. Do not pour water directly over the BBQ controls.
7. Clean the fat cup: Remove the fat cup from the front of the BBQ and dispose of the contents properly. Clean the fat cup with warm soapy water, then return it to the BBQ.
8. Dip a soft sponge or microfibre cloth into the soapy water, squeeze excess water out and gently scrub the exterior and interior surfaces of the BBQ. Pay special attention to areas with grease or stains. For stubborn stains, create a paste with bi-carb soda and water, apply it, let it sit, and then gently scrub.
9. Dry thoroughly: Use a clean microfibre cloth to give a final wipe down and dry all stainless steel surfaces of the BBQ; exterior, interior and hot plate. Drying helps prevent water spots, tea-staining, and streaks from forming.
10. Polish exterior (optional): If you want to enhance the shine of the stainless steel, you can apply a stainless steel polish to the BBQ exterior according to the manufacturer's instructions. Buff the surfaces with a clean cloth after applying the polish. When applied to the external surfaces, silicone-based polishes are ideal to help the stainless steel form a protective layer to prevent tea-staining and rusting. (Do not use silicone-based stainless polish on the hot plate).
11. Regular maintenance: Clean the BBQ exterior and hot plate after each use to prevent staining and build-up of grease. Regular cleaning will make the overall maintenance easier.
12. Blackening hot plate: Due to the high heat produced by the appliance it is normal for blackening to occur to the hot plate. This can be from the heat of the appliance alone and/or a combination of the food being cooked. To help remove burn marks, mix a small amount of white vinegar and water together and spray or apply the solution to the hot plate. Work this into the surface of the hot plate with a non-scratch scouring pad to bring the hot plate back to its original finish. Rinse with water and dry thoroughly.
13. Covering the BBQ: Consider using one of our portable BBQ covers when your BBQ is not in use to protect it from the elements, which can lead to rusting. We also have a large storage bag to store the BBQ away, if needed.
