To prepare your new BBQ, inspect for gas leaks and then clean the hot plates.
Here's a breakdown of the preparation process:
-
Check for Gas Leaks:
- After assembly, perform a leak test on all gas connections. Use a soapy water solution and apply it to the connections. If bubbles form, there is a leak. Tighten the connection and retest. If leaks persist, consult the BBQ's manual or a professional. There should also be no gas smell.
-
Clean the Hot Plates:
- Remove the hot plates.
- Scrub them thoroughly with a soft brush, warm water, and a little detergent to remove any manufacturing residue or protective coatings.
By following these steps, you'll ensure your new BBQ is safe to use and ready to cook delicious meals.
