More Canadians are discovering the pleasure of year round barbequing. However, if you choose to store your barbeque for
the winter or any extended length of time, follow these simple but important steps:
- Follow the same cleaning method above for the burners and any warming racks.
- Cover the barbeque if it is left outdoors.
- When the barbeque is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the gas cylinder valve or main shut off valve, and stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
-
With a Propane appliance you can store the barbeque inside, PROVIDED the cylinder is removed from the barbeque and stored
outdoors in a well-ventilated area, out of the reach of children. When the cylinder is disconnected from the barbeque, ensure the cylinder
valve safety cap is firmly threaded through onto the valve.
-
With a Natural Gas appliance, the gas must be turned off at the individual gas shut off valve and the hose must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system before storing the barbeque indoors. Install plastic covers to quick connect fittings.
After a period of storage or non-use, a leak test should be performed and the burner venturis cleaned prior to use.
