6. Installation
6.1. Selectin g a Locat ion
This barbecue is for outdoor use only and
should be placed in a well-venti lated area, and
on a safe and even surface. Never place your
barbecue below ground level. 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, including trees and fences
and that there are no heat sources near the
barbecue (cigarettes, open flames, spark etc.).
Keep this barbecue away from any flammable
materials!
6.2. Precautions
Do no t obst ruct a ny vent ilat ion op ening s in the
barbecue body.
7. Operation
7.1. Warnings
nBefore proceeding, make certain that you
understand the IMPORTANT
INFORMATION section of this manual.
nYour barbecue is not designed to be used
with any part of the cooking area as a solid
plate — this includes baking dishes. Full
coverage will cause excessive build-up of
heat and damage the barbecue. This is not
covered by warranty.
• This barbecue is designed for charcoal use
only. It is not designed to be used with lump
wood charcoal, including lump wood based
lighting bags, as it burns too quickly. We
recommend the use of charcoal briquettes.
• Use only enough briquettes to cover the
charcoal grill in a single layer. Do not
overload the charcoal grill.
• The maximum amount of briquettes to be
used at any one time is 2.0kg.
• When placing charcoal, never allow charcoal
Page 14
14
to be closer than 5cm to the surrounding
sides of the barbecue body.
7.2. Preparation Before Cooking
To prevent foods f rom sticking to the cooking
surface, please use a long handled brush to
apply a light coat of cooking or vegetabl e oil
before each barbecuing session. (Note:
When cooking for the first time, paint colours
may change slightly as a result. Thi s is normal
and should be expected.)
7.3. 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.
7.4. Starting the Charcoal
• Open the barbecue hood or lid before
lighting. Never light your barbecue with the
hood or lid closed.
• Take the barbecue grills out of the barbecue
body using the grill handles supplied.
• Block Type Starters – Form charcoal in a
pyramid around it. Light the starter block.
When charcoal is well lit, using a heat
resistant tool, spread the charcoal around
the grid, adding more as necessary.
• Liquid Starters – Place charcoal in a shallow
tin. Pour liquid starter onto charcoal and wait
5-10 minutes to allow the starter to
penetrate into the charcoal. Then using a
heat resistant tool, place charcoal onto the
grid in a pyramid formation.
• Light the charcoal and allow time for it to
become well lit (red hot). Using a heat
resistant tool, spread charcoal in a uniform
layer, so that each lump is just touching.
• The barbecue grills can now be replaced
using the grill handles supplied.
• When the charcoal is ashed over (grey
coating of ash over each lump) you are
ready to begin cooking.
• It is recommended to operate the barbecue
with red-hot charcoal for at least 30 minutes
before use.
• Do not begin cooking until charcoal has an
ashed-over coat.
• Do not attempt to cook whilst charcoal is
flaming.
7.5. Heat Control
The adjustable vents in t he hood and ash tray
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 appliance
may become very hot. Oven gloves and the grill
lifting handles, or ash tray / vent tool should
always be used when adjusting the vents. Do
not close the hood or lid w hilst the c harcoal is
still flaming. Wait until it has ashed over.
7.6. Grill Cooking
The food on the grill is cooked by the heat
produced from the hot charcoal below. The
natural food juices produced during cooking fall
onto the hot charcoal below and vaporise. The
subsequent rising smoke bastes the food, as it
travels upwards, imparting that unique
barbecued flavour.
7.7. Roasting Hood Cooking
Barbecues equipped with a roasti ng hood give
the option to form an ‘oven’ for roasting or
baking food, such as joints of meat or whole
chickens, etc. More even cooking of food will
actually be achieved by using the barbecue with
the hood down.
Close the hood to cook the food ‘indirectly’.
Avoid lifting the hood unnecessarily as heat is
lost every time the hood is opened. If the hood
is opened during cooking please allow extra
time for the barbecue to regain it s temperature
and complete the cooking. Use the temperature
gauge (if applicable) to monitor the heat of the
barbecue.
DO NOT ALLOW YOUR BARBECUE TO
OVERHEAT. Take care when opening the hood
as hot steam can be released on opening.
7.8. Flare-Up Control
*Very Important Notice*
Flare-ups occur when meat is barbecued and
its fat and juices fall upon the hot charcoal.
Smoke of course helps give food its barbecued
flavour, but it is best to avoid excessive flare-up
to prevent food being burned. To control flareups, it is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to trim
away excess fat from meat and poultry before
grilling, use cooking sauces and marinades
sparingly and try to avoid very cheap cuts of
meat or meat products as these tend to have a
high fat and water content.
When flare-ups do occur, they can usually be
extinguished by applying baking soda or a salt
directly onto the charcoal. Always protect your
hands whe n handl ing a n ything near the cooki ng
Page 15
15
surface of the barbecue and take care to protect
yourself from the flames.
If a fat fire occurs, please see t he instructions
given below.
7.9. Fat Fires
Empty and clean the ash tray of food debris
after each cooking session. If the barbecue is to
be used for large gatherings, additional care will
be required to ensure excessive build up of fat
does not occur and cause a fat fire. The time
between cleaning may need to be reduced if
very fatty foods or cheap meat products are
being cooked. Failure to do this may result in a
fat fire, which may cause injury and could
seriously damage the barbecue.
In the event of a fat fire:
• Keep everyone at a safe distance from the
barbecue and wait until the fire has burnt
out.
• Do not close the hood or lid of the barbecue.
• NEVER DOUSE A BARBECUE WITH
WATER. IF AN EXTINGUISHER IS USED,
IT SHOU LD BE A P OWDER TYPE.
• DO NOT REMOVE THE ASH TRAY.
• If the fire does not seem to be abating or
appears to be worsening, contact your local
Fire Brigade for assistance.
7.10. 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 out
the grill. Once the grill is removed, 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.
7.11. End of Cooking Session
Ash can be shaken from the charcoal basket
where it will drop into the ash tra y. Ash should
not be disposed of until you are certain it is cold
and will not be able to re-ignite. Dispose of any
unburned charcoal and remove remaining
residue with a brass wire brush.
Wait until the barbecue is sufficiently cool
before closing its hood or lid.
8. Care and Maintenance
Regularly clean your barbecue between uses
and especially after extended periods of
storage. Ensure the barbecue and its
components are sufficiently cool before
cleaning. Do not leave the barbecue exposed
to outside weather conditions or stored in damp,
moist areas.
nNever handle hot parts with unprotected
hands.
nNever douse the barbecue with water when
its surfaces are hot.
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. Heavy-duty Outback®
barbecue covers and other accessories are
available from your local Outback® stockist.
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. It is possible for mould to
grow on any fat remaining on parts of the
barbecue. This should be cleaned off smooth
surfaces with hot soapy water.
Any rust that is found that does not come into
contact with the food should be treated with a
rust inhibitor and painted wit h barbecue pa i nt or
a heat resistant paint.
A chrome cleaner may be used on chrome
parts if required. To prevent rusting, wipe
chrome plated warming racks etc. with cooking
oil after rinsing and drying.
8.1. Cooking Surfaces
When the barbecue has cooled, clean with hot
soapy water. To remove any food resid ue, use
a mild cream cleaner on a non-abrasive pad.
Do not use scouring pads or powders as they
can permanently damage the finish. Rinse well
and dry thoroughly. Due to the weight of the
cooking surfaces, we do not recommend
cleaning in a dishwasher.
8.2. Ash Tray
After every use, empty and clean the ash tray of
any fat or food particles, using a plastic or
wooden scraper if necessary.
Discard the ash and foil, and wash any
remaining ash or fat from the tray.
Page 16
16
Failure to keep it clean, and excessive build up
can result in a fat fire. This can be hazardous
and severely damage the barbecue. This is not
a fault in the barbec ue and is therefore not
covered by the terms of the warranty. If
required, the tray can be wa shed in hot soapy
water.
8.3. Barbecue Body
Regularly remove excess grease or fat from the
barbecue body using a cloth wrung out in hot
soapy water and dry thoroughly. Excess fat and
food debris can be removed from inside the
body using 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 nylon-bristled brush
only. Do not use abrasives. Remove cooking
surfaces before full cleaning.
8.4. Barbecue Hood or Lid
Use a non-abrasive cloth or pad a nd clean with
hot, soapy water. Do not use scouring pads or
powders as they can permanently damage the
finish.
8.5. Trolley
Wipe with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water
and dry.
8.6. Fixings
All screws and bolts, etc. should be checked
and tightened on a regular basis.
8.7. Storage
Ensure the barbecue is properl y cooled before
covering or storing. Store your barbecue in a
cool dry place.
When using the barbecue after extended
periods of storage follow the cleaning
procedures.
