nESSENTIAL INFORMATION
Please read instructions before using your barbecue.
BEFORE YOU USE YOUR BARBECUE (also see installation)
• Perform a leak test. This is the only safe and sure way to detect any gas leaking from joints and
connections of the barbecue after assembly. Follow the leak test instructions. Check that the gas hose is
free of any tension, twisting, cuts, or cracks.
• Make sure your barbecue is in a safe place. It must be outdoors, on level ground and not below ground
level. Ensure that the barbecue is at least 1 meter away from any flammable materials, including trees and
fences and that there are no heat sources near the barbecue (cigarettes, open flames, spark etc.)
• Check that you have the correct gas bottle and regulator for your barbecue (see recommendations in the
Gas and Regulator section of this manual) and that the gas bottle is placed correctly in the gas bottle
holder provided. Never place the gas bottle directly underneath the barbecue.
GETTING STARTED (also see operation)
• Open the hood of your barbecue. Never light your barbecue with the hood closed. Turn the gas regulator or
gas bot tle va lve to t he “O n” P o sition. P ush in th e con tro l knob o f the b u rner you w ant to lig ht an d turn it an ti
clockwise until resistance is met. Wait 4 seconds and then continue turning the control knob until a click is
heard. If the burner does not light, turn of the gas by pushing and holding in the control knob at the High
position and turning to “Off”. The lighting sequence can then be repeated 4-5 times until the burner is lit.
Ignite any of t he remaining burner s in any order, as needed. Confir m each burner is lit before igniti ng another
burner. If any burner fails to ignite after following the above procedure, turn all the knobs to the “Off” position.
Shut the gas off at the gas bottle or regulator. Wait 5 minutes before reattempting the above lighting
procedure. If the barbecue still fails to light, please refer to the manual li ghting instructions.
• Once the burners are li t, turn all the burne rs to the high se tting for 3-5 minutes to pre -heat the barbecue. This
should be done before each session. When pre-heating is complete, cooking can begin taking extra care if
the burners are used in the high position.
• To prevent food sticking we re com m end that you use a long handled brush to apply a light coat of cooking oil
to the gr ills and griddles before e ach barbecue session.
• Side Burner - Open the lid of the side burner. Never light the side burner with the lid closed. Turn the gas
regulator or gas bottle valve to the ‘on’ position. Push the side burner control knob in and turn it to the high
position. Push and hold in the igniter button in the centre of the control panel for 4 to 5 seconds to light the
burner . IF THE BURN ER FAILS TO L IGHT, TURN OFF THE GAS AT THE BU RNER, WA IT 5 MINUTES
AND TRY AGAI N. If the burner cannot be lit using the igniti on syste m, turn to t he manual lighting instruct ions.
• If a fat fi re shoul d occur dur ing cooking, and if safe to do so, turn off t he burner s and the gas at the gas bottle
and wait for t he fire t o go out. Do not pull out the dr ip tray or douse with water.
• Never douse a barbecue with water.
• Never move a barbecue when lit.
• Never leave a lit barbecue una ttended
• Never handl e hot par ts with unprotected ha nds
• Keep children, animals, and elderly pe ople a s afe distance from a lit barbecue .
WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED COOKING (also see Maintenance)
• Turn all the burners to the high position for 3 to 5 minutes to burn off any food residue from the cooking
surfaces and burners. When the barbecue has cooled, the burnt residue can be removed from the grills,
griddle and flame tamers using a plastic scraper or plastic scouring pad. A brass wire brush can be used
on the burners.
• When the barbecue has cooled, scrape away any food and fat residue from the drip tray and discard.
Empty and clean the Foil Liner. These routines must be completed after each session.
STORAGE
• Ensure the barbecue is properly cooled.
• Always disconnect the gas bottle and store it in a safe place, never store a gas bottle indoors or on its side.
• Store the barbecue in a cool dry place. The detachable side shelf can be removed to save space during
storage.
20
• Cover the bur ners wi th foil to keep t he burner hol es fr ee from insects or oth er deb r is.
• If you intend to leave your barbecue outside make sure it is protected from the elements by a heavy duty
cov er, t hese are av ai lable fr om most Out back® stoc kist s.
• 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. Chrome plated warming racks etc. should be coated with
cooking oil.
• 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.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• This product is for outdoor use only. Do not use indoors. Do not use below ground level.
• Do not store Gas bottles below ground level. LP gas is heavier than air so if a leak occurs the gas will
collect at a l ow lev el and could ignite in the presence of a flame or spar k.
• Do not store or use LP gas bottles on their side as this could allow liquid gas into the supply pipes with
serious results.
• Leak test your barbecue annually. Check the hose connections are tight and leak test each time you
reconnect the gas bottle.
• Always turn off the gas at the gas bottle when not in use.
• Do not use aerosols near this barbecue.
GAS, REGULATOR AND HOSE
This barbecue, hose, (and regulator, if included), are approved for use in the UK. The barbecue is also
approved for use i n other countries as listed on the control panel and in the Technical Specifications included
in the barbecue manual. If the barbecue is intended to be used outside of the UK, the consumer MUST seek
advice from the local qualified gas supplier as to the suitability of the barbecue and with regards to the correct
hose and regulator that they should be using.
This barbecue can run on propane or butane LPG (liquid petroleum gas) bottled gas. For optimal performance
we recommend the use of propane gas which is supplied under a number of different names and bottle
col ours. Bu tane gas c an be used bu t it may res trict t he heat ou tput av ailable f rom the b urners, particu larly
when the gas temperature falls below +10 degrees Celsius. If in doubt, please consult your gas dealer/
distributor.
For optimal performance, we suggest the following:
Suitable regulator:
Butane – outlet pressure 28-30mbar
Propane – outlet pressure 37mbar The use of an adjustable regulator is dangerous and must never be used
with this barbecue.
Hose
• Check that the gas hose does not touch any part of the barbecue that may become hot during operation.
• If the hose shows any sign of damage it must be replaced with a hose that is suitable for use with LPG
(liquid petroleum gas) and meets British Standards.
• The length of hose should not exceed 1.5 metres.
Please note
: the date on UK hose is the date of manufacture – not the expiry date.

• Turn off the gas
• Retighten all joints
• Repeat test
• If bubbles form again do not use the barbecue and contact your local Outback dealer for assistance or
call Outback customer serv ice s.
OPERATION
Your barbecue is not designed to be used with more than 50% of the cooking area as a solid plate – this
includes baking dishes. If more than 50% of your cooking area is covered by a solid cooking surface, the
barbecue could overheat causing damage that is not covered by warranty.
Grill cooking
The burners heat the flame tamer beneath the grill that, in turn, heats the food. The natural juices produced
during cooking fall onto the flame tamer and vaporise to form smoke. The smoke then rises and ‘bastes’ the
food, giving it that unique barbecued flavour.
Mor e even co oki ng of f ood wil l be ac hieved wit h the ho od down whic h will al so h old th e heat i n. Thi s shoul d
only be done with the burners on a low to medium setting.
Griddle plate cooking
The burners heat the griddle plate directly, which then cooks the food on contact. Griddle plates enable the
cooking of smaller items that would, otherwise, fall through the grill. They can also be used for searing cuts of
meat or cooking food like eggs that would not be possible to cook on a grill. Griddles can also be used to heat
pans.
Warming Rack
Warm ing ra cks ar e a conv eni ent way t o keep c ooked food wa rm or t o warm it ems s uch as br ead r olls. Care
should be taken to ensure any items placed in the warming basket 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.
Flare-up control
Flare-ups will often occur when food is barbecued as f at and juices fall onto the flam e tamer. Some fat is
necessary to give the food its barbecued flavour but excessive fat can result in a flare-up. To avoid flare-ups it
is advisable to trim 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 high fat and water
22
contents. Flare-ups occur more at the start of cooking, particularly with processed meat products, and it may
be n eces s a r y t o t u r n t h e bur n er s do w n t o t heir l o wes t s et ti n g t o s ta rt wi t h an d t h en t ur ni ng u p at a l ater s t ag e
in the cooking process. The barbecue should also not be overloaded. Some parts of the cooking area are
hotter than others. The hottest areas will be above the burners which will be where the flare ups will normally
sta rt. By l eaving f ree spa ce you c an simpl y move t he food awa y from the flar e up to a co oler ar ea unti l the
flare up has subsided.
Fat Fires
The drip tray must be emptied and cleaned of food debris after each cooking session. If the barbecue is to be
used for commercial use or large gatherings, it will be necessary to turn off and cool the barbecue every two
hours to remove food debris from the drip tray, 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;
• If safe to do so, turn all control knobs to the ‘off’ position.
• Turn off the gas at the gas bottle.
• Keep everyone at a safe distance from the barbecue and wait until the fire has burnt out.
• Do not close the hood of the barbecue.
• NEVER DOUSE A BARBECUE WITH WATER. IF AN EXTINGUISHER IS USED, IT SHOULD BE A
POWDER TYPE.
• DO NOT REMOVE THE DRIP TRAY.
• If the fire does not seem to be abating or appears to be worsening, contact your local Fire Brigade for
assistance.
Manua l ig nition instr u c tions
• Insert a long, lit match through the match-lighting hole in the right hand side of the body of the barbecue
until the lit end is alongside the right hand burner. Push and turn the right hand control knob anti-clockwise
to the high position taking care to protect yourself from flames.
• When the burner is lit turn the remaining burners from right to lef t.
• Confirm that each burner is lit before turning on the next burner.
• To light the side burner place the lighted end of a long match alongside the side burner. Push and turn the
side burner control knob anti-clockwise to the high position taking care to protect yourself from flames.
• If the right hand burner fails to light, turn off the gas and contact your local Outback dealer or our
customer services department for assistance.
MAINTENANCE
nNever handle hot parts of the BBQ with unprotected hands.
nNever douse the BBQ with water when its surfaces are hot.
General
• Regularly clean your BBQ between uses and especially after extended periods of storage.
• Do not leave the BBQ uncovered and exposed to the elements when not in use. Heavy duty covers are
available as an accessory from your 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. 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. Chrome plated warmi ng rac ks etc. shoul d be coated with c ooking oil.
• The wooden shelf, shelf insert and bottom slats are made from hardwood ideally suited to outside
conditions. Hardwood will naturally weather and change its appearance and it is quite natural for small
cracks to appear on the surface of the wood. The wood should be regularly inspected and any weathered
or damaged surfaces should be recoated promptly with Yacht varnish or an external grade Polyurethane
varnish. Follow the varnish manufacturer’s instructions for preparation and application.
• All screws and bolts should be checked and tightened if necessary on a regular basis.

immediately turned off at the bottle. Burners should be inspected and cleaned on a regular basis in addition
to the following conditions:
• Bringing the barbecue out of storage.
• One or more of t he bur ners do not i gnite.
• The burner flame pattern is significantly yellow.
• The gas ignites behind the control panel.
To clean a burner, remove it from the barbecue. The outside of the burner can be cleaned with a wire brush.
Clea n the portholes with a pipe cleaner or p iece of wire. Take care no t to enlarge th e porthol es.
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.
