  • Before you ignite your BBQ for the first time
  • After a long period of non use
  • Every time your cylinder is refilled or reconnected
  • After any repair or replacement of parts
  • After relocating/moving your BBQ
  • After giving it a thorough cleaning

You’ll need

  • An atomizer spray or a small bowl of 50% water 50% dishwashing liquid
  • A brush or cloth to apply the mixture if you cannot spray it on.
