**BEFORE ASSEMBLY
Please read all instructions thoroughly before
proceeding. Find a large, clean area in which to
assemble your trolley barbecue. Please refer to
the parts list and assembly diagram as
necessary. Assembly of the barbecue involves
many large components; it is advisable to have
two people assemble the unit together.

E. Installation
E1. Selecting a Location
This barbecue is for outdoor use only and should
be placed in a well-ventilated area on a safe and
even surface. Take care to ensure that it is not
placed UNDER any combustible surface. The
sides of the barbecue should NEVER be closer
than 1 metre from any combustible surface.
Keep this barbecue away from any flammable
materials!

F. Operation
F1. Warning
•
Before proceeding, make certain that you
understand the IMPORTANT
INFORMATION section of this manual.
•
This barbecue is designed for charcoal use
only. We recommend using charcoal
briquettes. Use only enough briquettes to
cover the bottom of the charcoal basket in a
single layer. Do not overload the charcoal
basket. The maximum amount of briquettes
to be used at any one time is 2.0kg.
F2. Lining the Ash Tray
Line the ash tray with aluminium foil. This
will protect the tray, help better reflect heat, and
make cleaning easier when barbecuing is
finished.
F3. Starting the Charcoal
• (Charcoal Classic 2000 Users Only) Make
sure the charcoal basket is in the highest
position before lighting the charcoal.
• Caution: Do not use spirit, petrol, or
comparable fluids which are not intended for
use with charcoal barbecues for lighting or
re-lighting. Only use starters designed for
charcoal.
• When placing charcoal, never allow
charcoal to be closer than 5cm to the
surrounding sides of the barbecue body.
The maximum amount of charcoal to be
used at any one time is 2.0kg.
• Block Type Starters – Form charcoal in a
pyramid around it. Light the starter block.
When charcoal is well lit, spread around the
charcoal grid and add more as necessary.
• Liquid Starters – Place charcoal in a shallow
tin. Pour liquid charcoal starter onto
charcoal and wait 5-10 minutes so that
starter is allowed to penetrate into the
charcoal. Then place charcoal on grid in a
pyramid formation. Light charcoal. Allow
time for charcoal to become well lit. Spread
charcoal in a uniform layer, so that each
lump is just touching. When the charcoal is
ashed over (grey coating of ash over each
lump) you are ready to begin cooking.
• Do not begin cooking until charcoal has an
ashed-over coat.
• Do not attempt to cook whilst charcoal is
flaming.
F4. Running in the Barbecue (Before First
Use)
To prevent foods from sticking to the porcelain,
please use a long handled brush to apply a light
coat of cooking or vegetable oil before each
barbecuing session.
Fill the barbecue with charcoal, light the charcoal
and allow the charcoal to become red-hot. It is
recommended to operate the barbecue with redhot charcoal for at least 30 minutes before first
use. The barbecue and grills are now ready to
be used for cooking.
F5. Using the Side Vents to Control Cooking
(Charcoal Roaster 2000 & 3000 Only)
The side vents can be used to control the
burning of the charcoal. With the vents open,
more air will circulate and the charcoal will burn
faster than with the vents closed. Caution—the
vent handles become very hot. Oven gloves
should be used when carrying out adjustments.
Do not close the hood whilst the charcoal is still
flaming. Wait until it has ashed over.
F6. Using the Adjustable Charcoal Basket
(Charcoal Classic 2000 Users Only)
Warning: Handles can become hot during use.
Please wear oven gloves and take care when
handling the adjustable charcoal basket.
Heat can be controlled by raising or lowering the
charcoal basket using the adjustable handles.
For normal cooking, set the charcoal basket to
the lowest level. As charcoal becomes
consumed, the basket can be raised to the
highest level in order to compensate for heat
loss. Also, the basket can be adjusted higher on
one side and lower on the other to facilitate
warming of foods on the lower side, and cooking
on the higher side. The basket should NEVER
rest directly on top of the ash tray. Always use
either the lowest or highest levels of hooks on
the adjustable handles. The charcoal basket
must always be positioned in the middle of the
barbecue body, between the two stop pins.
F7. Flare-Up Control
Flare-ups occur when meat is barbecued and its
fat and juices fall upon the hot charcoal. Smoke
helps give food its barbecued flavour, but avoid
excessive flare-up to prevent food being burned.
To control flare-ups, it is advisable to trim away
excess fat from meat and poultry before grilling.
Flare-ups can be extinguished by applying
baking soda or a salt directly onto the charcoal.
Always protect your hands when handling
anything near the cooking surface of the
barbecue.
If a fat fire should occur in the ash tray, wait for
the fire to go out. Do not pull out the ashcollecting tray or douse charcoal or tray with
water.

F8. Replenishing the Charcoal
To replenish the charcoal during use, remove
the food from the grill. With protected hands, use
the grill-lifting handles provided to lift the grill.
Once the grill is lifted, add the charcoal, carefully
replace the grill, and continue cooking when the
charcoal is ready. When using the handles to
move the grill, take care to position them
correctly so that the grill is stable.
G. Care and Maintenance
Clean your barbecue after use, especially before
extended periods of storage. Ensure the
barbecue and its components are sufficiently
cool before cleaning.
•
Never douse the barbecue with water when
its sur faces are hot.
•
Never handle hot parts with unprotected
hands.
In order to extend the life and maintain the
condition of your barbecue, we strongly
recommend that the unit be covered when left
outside for any length of time, especially during
the winter months. A full range of heavy-duty
Outback® covers is available for all models. Do
not leave the barbecue exposed to outside
weather conditions or stored in damp, moist
areas.
Even when your barbecue is covered for its
protection, it must be inspected on a regular
basis as damp or condensation can form which
may result in damage to the barbecue. It may be
necessary to dry the barbecue and the inside of
the cover. Any rust that is found that does not
come into contact with the food should be
treated with a rust inhibitor and painted with
barbecue paint or a heat resistant paint. Wooden
parts may also need to be cleaned and treated.
We recommend that the barbecue is not left
outside for long term storage.
G1. Porcelain Coated Cast Iron Cooking
Surfaces
Clean with hot, soapy water. To remove any
food residue, use a mild cream cleaner on a
non-abrasive pad. Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
We do not recommend cleaning grills and
griddles in a dishwasher.
G2. Adjustable Charcoal Basket
(Charcoal Classic 2000 Users)
When full y cooled, use the hand les to shak e the
basket vigorously until all loose ash falls through
into the ash tray. Dispose of any unburned
charcoal and remove remaining residue with a
brass wire brush.
G3. Ash Tray
After every use, check the tray for ash or fat
build-up on the aluminium foil. Discard the ash
and foil, and wash any remaining ash or fat from
the tray. Failure to clean thoroughly may cause
fat fires. These fires can severely damage your
barbecue and are not covered by the warranty.
G4. Barbecue Body
Regularly remove excess grease or fat from the
barbecue body with a soft plastic or wooden
scraper. It is not necessary to remove all the
grease from the body. If you need to clean fully,
use hot soapy water and a cloth, or nylonbristled brush only. Remove cast iron cooking
grills before full cleaning.
G5. Barbecue Hood
Use a non-abrasive cloth or pad and clean with
hot, soapy water. Do not use scouring pads or
powders as they can permanently damage the
finish.
G6. Trolley
Your trolley is manufactured using a hardwood
suited to outdoor use, provided it is treated with
Teak oil or similar after assembly and on a
regular basis thereafter. Hardwood will naturally
weather and change its appearance. It is quite
natural for small cracks to appear on the surface
of the wood.
G7. Fixings
All screws and bolts, etc. should be checked and
tightened on a regular basis.
Specifications are subject to change without prior
notice.
