MAINTENANCE
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
After you have finished, prepare for the next cookout by
burning off any residue of food from the grid and briquettes or
Flav-R-Wave™ or Flav-R-Cast™ in the following manner:
Cooking Grids
Remove all food from the grids, turn the control knobs to
“HIGH”, and operate the barbecue with the lid closed for 5 to
10 minutes or until smoking stops. Turn the gas cylinder
valve to OFF, then the control knobs to OFF.
Use a long-handled brass wire brush to clean the grids.
Remember that the barbecue is hot, so wear kitchen mitts or
use a pot-holder to handle the brush.
You do not have to wash the grids and upper cooking rack
after each cookout, but if you wish to do so, use a mild soap
and water solution, then rinse them thoroughly. Never use a
commercial oven cleaner.
Porcelain Coating - Most OMC cooking grids are coated
with a durable porcelain enamel to assist in cleaning and
reduce the tendency of food sticking to the grid. Some
chipping may occur if mishandled. This will not affect the use
or performance of the grids. If some rust appears, remove
the rust with a scrub pad and coat the grid with cooking oil.

Ceramic Briquets
If any residue begins to
accumulate on the briquets,
remove the cooking grids and turn
the briquets over prior to lighting
the barbecue. Be sure to place
briquets evenly in one layer. The
underside of the briquets will self
clean while preheating the
barbecue.
Flav-R-Wave™
If any residue begins to
accumulate on the
Flav-R-Wave™, remove
cooking
grids and scrape excess
residue
with back of barbecue brush.
Flav-R-Cast™
Excess food residue may be
removed using a scrub pad or
brass grill brush. Coat the
Flav-R-Cast™ with cooking
oil when not using the barbecue for an extended period. The
Flav-R-Cast™ is coated with a matte porcelain finish to
assist in cleaning and help prevent rust. Some chipping may
occur if mishandled. This will not affect the use or
performance of the Flav-R-Cast™. If rust appears, remove
the rust with a scrub pad and coat with cooking oil.
Grease Cup Holder
The grease cup holder is located on the bottom of
the cooking oven immediately below the hole
through which grease will drain. The grease cup is
not provided. The clip, however, has been
designed to hold a standard soup can or jar.
Simply snap the can or jar into place. The grease
cup should be checked and replaced regularly to
prevent grease from overflowing onto your patio.
General Cleaning
When the barbecue is cold, remove the grids. If equipped
with briquets, turn over. Cover three quarters of the
briquettes or Flav-R-Wave™ or Flav-R-Cast™ with aluminum
foil, shiny side down. Ignite the burners; operate the
barbecue on HIGH with the lid closed for 10 minutes or until
smoking stops. Turn the gas cylinder valve to OFF, turn the
control knobs to OFF. When the barbecue is cool, remove
the foil, and residue from briquettes or Flav-R-Wave™ or
Flav-R-Cast™ with a vacuum. Remove briquetts and grate or
Flav-R-Wave™ or Flav-R-Cast™, then clean the interior of
the bottom oven by scrapping the sides and vacuuming.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
To ensure safe and efficient performance, the following
components should be inspected and cleaned at least once
per year or after any period of storage exceeding one month.
Burner
Remove burner and inspect for cracks and deterioration.
Clean venturi tubes using a
pipe cleaner or venturi brush
to eliminate any blockages
caused by spiders or insects.
ee "Venturi Tubes". S
While burner is removed, clean interior of bottom oven by
scrapping the sides and vacuuming.
Hose
Inspect and replace if necessary. See "Hose and Regulator".
Perma-Mold Shelves
Wash with soap and water. To enhance luster, coat lightly
with cooking oil.
Exterior Finish
If white oxidation spots appear, wash the outside of the
housing with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse the
surfaces thoroughly, then wipe them with a cloth dipped in
cooking oil to restore the luster.
For repair of paint scratches and scuffs, use a good quality
HIGH temperature (600°F) spray paint for touch-up.
Replacement Parts
If a problem is found with the regulator, hose, burner, or
control valves, do not attempt repair. See your dealer,
approved service centre, or contact the factory for repairs or
replacement parts. To ensure optimum performance, use
only original OMC replacement parts.
Leak Test
After reconnecting gas cylinder, be sure to check for leaks.
