1. Safety Precautions: Ensure the BBQ is turned off and the BBQ plate is completely cool before cleaning to avoid burns.
2. Wipe Down: With a soft sponge or 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.
3. Prepare Soapy Water: Fill a bucket or basin with warm water and add a few drops of mild dishwashing detergent. Mix the solution thoroughly.
4. Remove BBQ Plate: Remove the BBQ plate from the BBQ to wash.
5. Wipe Drainage Gutter: Once the BBQ plate is removed you will see the internal drainage gutter. Dip a soft sponge or cloth into the soapy water, squeeze excess water out and gently wipe the drainage gutter clean.
6. Wipe BBQ Exterior & Control Panel: Dip a soft sponge or cloth into the soapy water, squeeze excess water out and gently wipe the control panel and the BBQ exterior. Pay special attention to areas with grease or stains. Washing 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. Rinse the sponge or cloth well, squeeze excess water out and wipe control panel and BBQ exterior clean to remove all detergent and residue from the BBQ. Make sure to wipe thoroughly to avoid leaving any soap/detergent behind.
7. Dry BBQ Exterior Thoroughly: Use a clean cloth or paper towel to dry all stainless steel surfaces of the BBQ; exterior and control panel. Drying helps prevent water spots, tea-staining, and streaks from forming.
8. Soak BBQ Plate: If the BBQ plate is particularly greasy or has stubborn residue, you can soak it in the soapy water for a while. This will help loosen the grime and make cleaning easier.
9. Wash BBQ Plate: Instructions on how best to clean each of the Eclipse BBQ plates below:
   1. Glass Enamel Coated Cast Iron BBQ Plate - How to Wash: Submerge a soft sponge or cloth in the soapy water, then gently wipe down the glass enamel BBQ plate. Pay special attention to areas with build-up, grease, or stains. If needed, use a soft scrubbing brush, and gently scrub the affected area. For stubborn stains and marks, create a paste with bi-carb soda and water, apply it, let it sit, and then gently scrub.
   2. Teflon Coated Aluminium BBQ Plate - How to Wash: Submerge a soft sponge or cloth in the soapy water, then gently wipe down the Teflon coated BBQ plate. Pay special attention to areas with build-up, grease, or stains. If needed, use a soft scrubbing brush, and gently scrub the affected area.
10. Rinse BBQ Plate Thoroughly: Rinse the BBQ plate under warm running water to remove the soapy residue. Make sure to rinse it thoroughly to ensure there's no soap left on the surface.
11. Dry BBQ Plate: After cleaning, use a clean and dry cloth to pat the BBQ plate dry or leave to air dry. Make sure BBQ plate is completely dry before storing or returning to the BBQ to prevent any water spots or rust from forming.
12. 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 and control panel 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 BBQ plate).
13. Regular Maintenance: To maintain the Teflon coating's longevity, avoid using high heat settings and metal utensils while cooking. Always clean the BBQ exterior and BBQ plate after each use to prevent grease build-up and staining. Regular cleaning will make the overall maintenance easier and subsequent cleanings easier.
14. Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh scrubbing tools as they could scratch the BBQ plate.

The ideal cooking temperature is between 200-250 degrees. We recommend purchasing an infrared temperature gun/thermometer to accurately check the BBQ plate temperature.
