Smeg BQ91S [19/19] The burners

Instructions for the User

12.2.2 The burners

Check regularly that the burners are igniting completely and no gas outlet holes are clogged.

If you notice that a burner is not igniting completely, blowing it with compressed air may be sufficient to

clear dust or spiders' webs from the clogged holes. If this is not sufficient, the burners can be dismantled

for more thorough cleaning, for example by poking a pin through the clogged holes and blowing

compressed air straight into the burner.

To dismantle the burners, unscrew the fixing screw

A. The burners can then be removed a few

centimetres from their bases (in the front of the

appliance, detail B), taking care not to damage the

ignition cable. Remove the clip (C) and extract the

burner ignition plug. This allows the burner to be

completely removed from the interior of the

barbecue for thorough cleaning.

After cleaning, put the burners back in place,

taking care to fit the ignition plug as shown and

secure it with the clip (C) removed earlier. Fit the

burner into place (B) and secure it with the screw

(A).

12.3 Cleaning the dripping pan

After cooking, (taking great care), extract the dripping pan, into which a thin layer of water may have

been poured before cooking started, and pour the fats into a container from which they can then be

disposed of appropriately. The oil or fat produced by cooking meat and fish must never be poured down

drains or sinks, for example. It must be disposed of correctly in special containers or delivered to the

regulation collection points. Clean the dripping pan with suitable non-abrasive products and put it back in

place.
