F. Important Information

Please read these instructions carefully
before assembly and use.

!" Retain these instructions for future reference.
!" For outdoors use only – do not use indoors.

Do not use below ground level.

!" For use with LPG bottled gas only. A fixed

pressure regulator of 28-30mbar must be
used for butane or 37mbar for propane.

!" Remove lava rock from plastic shrink pack

before lighting.

!" Do not use within 1m of any flammable

structure or surface.

!" LP gas cylinders should not be placed

directly underneath the barbecue.

!" LP gas cylinders must not be stored or used

in the horizontal position. A leak would be
very serious and liquid could enter the gas
line.

!" When igniting barbecue open its hood before

lighting.

!" Do not move the barbecue while alight.
!" This barbecue must not be left unattended

when lit.

!" The hood handle can become very hot. Grip

only the centre of the handle. Use of a
cooking glove is advised.

!" Use caution when opening the hood, as hot

steam inside is released upon opening.

!" Parts of this barbecue become very hot –

care must be taken when children, elderly
people, and animals are present.

!" Always turn off the gas bottle when the

barbecue is not in use.

!" Never cover a barbecue until it has

completely cooled.

!" Never use the barbecue with the side shelf in

the down position.

!" Leak test annually, and whenever the gas

bottle is removed or replaced.

!" Do not store flammable materials near this

barbecue.

!" Do not use aerosols near this barbecue.
!" Failure to follow the manual’s instructions

could result in serious injury or damage.

!" If you have any queries regarding these

instructions, contact your local dealer.

G. Gas and Regulator

This barbecue can use either propane or butane
LPG bottled gas. Propane bottles, normally red

coloured, will supply gas all year round, even on
cold winter days. A spanner may be required to
change gas bottles. Butane bottles, normally
blue, will supply sufficient gas in summer, but
performance of the barbecue may be affected
once the gas temperature starts to fall below
+10°C. The bottle should never
trolley base and placed directly under the
barbecue. Gas bottles should never be stored or
used laid on their side. Never store gas bottles
indoors.

For optimal performance, we suggest the
following:

Propane Minimum
Bottle Size

Suitable regulators for butane must have an
outlet pressure of 28-30mbar. For propane, the
regulator must have an outlet pressure of
37mbar. YOU MUST HAVE THE PROPER
REGULATOR AND BOTTLE IN ORDER FOR
THE BARBECUE TO OPERATE SAFELY AND
EFFICIENTLY. USE OF AN INCORRECT OR
FAULTY REGULATOR IS DANGEROUS AND
WILL INVALIDATE ANY WARRANTY. Please
consult your local gas dealer for the most
suitable gas bottles and regulators.

H. Installation

H1. Selecting a Location

This barbecue is for outdoor use only and should
be placed in a well-ventilated area. 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!

H2. Precautions

Do not obstruct any ventilation openings in the
barbecue body. Secure the gas bottle on the
cylinder holder and always tighten it with the
black strap provided. Should you need to change
the gas bottle, confirm that the barbecue is
switched off, and that there are no sources of
ignition (cigarettes, open flame, sparks, etc.)
near before proceeding. Inspect the hose for
damage and ensure it is securely attached with

21

worm drive clips or swaged fittings. Ensure no
part of the flexible hose is touching any hot
barbecue parts. If the hose is damaged, it must
be replaced with hose suitable for use with LPG
and meet the national standards for the country
of use. The length of hose shall not exceed

1.5m. N.B. – The date on UK hose is the date of

manufacture, not the expiry date.

H3. Fixing the Regulator to the Gas Bottle

Confirm all barbecue control knobs are in the off
position. Connect the regulator to the gas bottle
according to your regulator and bottle dealer’s
instructions.

H4. Leak Testing (To be performed in a well­ventilated area.)

Confirm all control knobs are in the off position.
Open the gas control valve on the bottle or
regulator. Check for leaks by brushing a solution
of ½ water and ½ soap over all gas system
joints, including all valve connections, hose
connections and regulator connections. NEVER
USE AN OPEN FLAME to test for leaks at
anytime. If bubbles form over any of the joints,
there is a leak. Turn off the gas supply and
retighten all joints. Repeat test. If bubbles form
again, do not use the barbecue. Please contact
your local dealer for assistance. Leak test your
barbecue annually. Check the hose connections
are tight and leak test them each time you
reconnect the gas bottle.

I. Operation

I1. Warning

!" Before proceeding, make certain that you

understand the IMPORTANT
INFORMATION section of this manual.

I2. Preparation Before Cooking

To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking
grill, please use a long handled brush to apply a
light coat of cooking or vegetable oil before each
barbecuing session. (Note: When cooking for

the first time, paint colours may change
slightly as a result. This is normal and
should be expected.)

I3. Lighting the Barbecue

!" Open the barbecue hood.
!" Ensure all knobs are in the off position.

Open the gas control valve on the gas
bottle or regulator.

!" Push and turn the leftmost control knob to

the high position. Press the ignition button
rapidly several times until left portion of the
burner is lit. If burner fails to ignite, turn

control knob to the off position and turn gas
off at the bottle or regulator. Wait five
minutes, then repeat the above steps. After
successful lighting of the left side, ignite the
remaining portion of the burner. If the
burner fails to ignite after following above
procedure, turn all the knobs to the off
position. Close the gas valve on the gas
bottle. Wait 5 minutes, then repeat the
above steps. If the barbecue still fails to
light, please refer to the manual ignition
instructions in section below.

!" After ignition, the burner should be burned

at the high position for 3-5 minutes in order
to preheat the barbecue. This process
should be done before every cooking
session. The hood should be open during
preheating.

!" After completion of preheating, the burner

should normally be turned down to a lower
position for best cooking results.

I4. Manual Lighting Instructions

!" Open the barbecue hood.
!" Ensure all knobs are in the off position.

Open the gas control valve on the gas
bottle or regulator.

!" Insert lit match through the match-lighting

hole underneath the barbecue.

!" Push and turn the rightmost control knob

anti-clockwise to the high position.

!" After the right portion of the burner is lit,

light the remaining portion of the burner.

!" If burner fails to ignite, contact your local

dealer for assistance.

!" After ignition, the burner should be burned

at the high position for 3-5 minutes in order
to preheat the barbecue. This process
should be done before every cooking
session. The hood should be open during
preheating.

!" After completion of preheating, the burner

should normally be turned down to a lower
position for best cooking results.

I5. Warming Rack

Warming racks are a convenient way to keep
cooked food warm or to warm items such as
bread rolls. Care should be taken to ensure that
any items placed on the warming rack are
cooked through and do not continue to cook and
drip fat or meat juices, which could drip onto the
hood and down the back of the barbecue.

I6. Grill Cooking
The burner heats up the lava rock underneath
the grill, which in turn heats the food on the grill.
The natural food juices produced during cooking

22

fall onto the hot lava rock below and vaporise.
The subsequent rising smoke bastes the food,
as it travels upwards, imparting that unique
barbecued flavour.

When using your barbecue for grill cooking, you
may wish to place the hood in the closed
position which will hold the heat in and give
more even cooking of the food. This should only
be done with the burner turned down to a lower
setting.

I7. Roasting Hood Cooking

Barbecues equipped with a roasting hood give
the option of cooking with hood closed to form
an ‘oven’ for roasting food, such as joints of
meat, whole chickens, etc.

When roasting, turn the burner under the food to
the OFF position. Close the hood and turn the
other burner down to a lower setting i.e. low to
medium to achieve the temperature required.
DO NOT ALLOW YOUR BARBECUE TO
OVERHEAT. Avoid lifting the hood
unnecessarily as heat is lost each time the hood

is opened.

I8. Side-Burner Cooking

When using the side-burner, care should be
taken to ensure that pans are central and flat on
the side-burner grid.

I9. Flare-Up Control

Flare-ups occur when meat is barbecued, and
its fat and juices fall upon the hot lava rock.
Smoke helps give food its barbecued flavour,
but avoid excessive flare-up to prevent food
being burned. To control flare-up, it is advisable
to trim away excess fat from meat and poultry
before grilling. The burner should be turned
down to a lower setting to reduce flare-up.
Flare-ups can be extinguished by applying
baking soda or salt directly onto the lava rocks.
Always protect your hands when handling
anything near the cooking surface of the
barbecue.

I10. End of Cooking Session

After each cooking session, turn the barbecue
burner to the “high” position and burn for 5
minutes. This procedure will burn off cooking
residue, thus making cleaning easier. Make sure
the hood is open during this process.

I11. Turning Off Your Barbecue

When you have finished using your barbecue,
turn all the control valves fully clockwise to the
“Off” position, then switch off the gas at the
bottle. Wait until the barbecue is sufficiently cool

before closing its hood.

J. 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.

!" Never douse the barbecue with water when

its surfaces 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. Heavy-duty Outback®
barbecue covers and other accessories are
available from you 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. 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. Chrome plated warming
racks should be coated with cooking oil.

J1. Cooking Grill

Clean with hot soapy water. To remove any food
residue, use a mild cream cleaner on a non­abrasive pad. Rinse well and dry thoroughly.

J2. Burner Maintenance

Your burner has been preset for optimal flame
performance. You will normally see a blue
flame, possibly with a small yellow tip when the
burner is alight. If the flame pattern is
significantly yellow, this could be a problem
caused by grease from cooking blocking the
burner or spiders or other insects in the burner
venturi. This can result in the flow of the gas and
air mixture being restricted or blocked which
may result in a fire behind the control panel
causing serious damage to your barbecue. If

this happens, the gas should be immediately
turned off at the bottle. Burners should be

inspected and cleaned on a regular basis in
addition to the following conditions:

1) Bringing the barbecue out of storage.

2) One or more of the burners do not ignite.

3) The burner flame pattern is significantly

Venturi tube

yellow.

4) The gas ignites behind the control panel.

To clean a burner, remove it from the barbecue
by removing the 2 securing screws underneath
the body of the barbecue. The outside of the
burner can be cleaned with a wire brush.

Clean the portholes with a pipe cleaner or piece
of wire. Take care not to enlarge the portholes.

Clean the insect screen on the end of the venturi
tube with a bristle brush (i.e. an old toothbrush).

Clean the venturi tube with a pipe cleaner or
piece of wire. You may need a torch to see into
the venturi tube to make sure it is clear. ”Turn
the burner up on end and lightly tap against a
piece of wood to dislodge any debris from
inside.”

J3. Lava Rock

It is not necessary to remove and wash the lava
rock in order to keep it clean. Burning off the
residue after each cooking should be sufficient.
Heavily impregnated lava rock should be turned
over so that the dirty side faces the burners in
order to burn off any residue. Replacement lava
rock is available from your local Outback®
stockist.



J4. 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 cooking surfaces
and burners before full cleaning. Do not
immerse the gas controls or manifold in water.
Check burner operation after carefully refitting
into body. Check the grease cup and clean out
any grease that has drained into it.

J5. Fixings

All screws and bolts, etc. should be checked
and tightened on a regular basis.

J6. LPG Hose

The LPG hose does not have a time-limited in-

service life but it is essential that the hose and
end connections are regularly inspected and
replaced if showing signs of:

!" Physical damage such as – cuts or abrasion,

cracking, stretching, flattening or kinking;

!" Environmental deterioration such as –

stiffening, cracking, de-lamination of outer
covering, chemical degradation i.e. softening
of outer coating by contact with oil;

!" Hose service failure such as – blistering, soft

spots, rupture or corrosion or loosening of
the swaged fittings or worm drive clips
attaching the hose.

J7. Fixings

All screws and bolts, etc. should be checked
and tightened on a regular basis.



J8. Storage

Store your barbecue in a cool dry place. 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 if
used. Mould can grow under these conditions
and should be cleaned and treated if required.
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. Chrome plated warming
racks and grills should be coated with cooking
oil. Wrap the burners in aluminium foil to help
prevent insects or other debris from obstructing
the burners.

The gas bottle must be always be disconnected
from the barbecue and stored in a well
ventilated area at least 1 metre away from any
fixed ignition source. Do not store inside
residential accommodation. Never store
cylinders below ground level (e.g. cellars). Do
not let children tamper with bottles.
