F. Gas and Regulator
This barbecue can use either propane or
butane LPG bottled gas. Propa ne bottles, will
supply gas all year round, even on cold
winter days. A spanner may be required to
change gas bottles. Butane bottles, 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 bot tle should never be
stood on the trolley base and placed directly
under the barbecue. Gas bottles should
never be stored or used laid on their side.
Never stor e gas bottles indoors.
YOU MUST HAVE THE PROPER
REGULATOR AND BOTTLE IN ORDER
FOR THE BARBECUE TO OPERATE
SAFELY AND EFFICIENTLY. USE OF AN
INCORRECT OR FAUL TY REGULATOR IS
DANGE RO US AND WIL L INVALID ATE A NY
WARRANTY. Please consult your local gas
dealer for the most suitable gas bottles and
regulators.
G. Installation
G1. Selecting a Locat ion
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 comb ust ible surface. The s ides
of the barbecue should NEVER be closer
than 1 metre from any combustible surface.
Keep this barbecue away from any
flammable mater ials!
G2. Pr ecaut ions
Do not obstruct any ventilation openings in
the barbecue body. Position the gas supply
bottle on level ground next to the barbecue
and safely away from any source of heat.
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 gas hose to
ensure it is free of any twisting or tension.
The ho se sho u ld hang fr ee ly wi th no be nd s,
folds, or kinks that could obstruct free f low of
gas. Apart from the connection point, no part
11
Page 12
of the hose should touch any hot barbec ue
parts. Always inspect the hose for cuts,
cracks, or excessive wear before use. 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 the hose shall not exceed
1.5m. N.B.-The date on the orange hose (if
suppli ed) is the date of manufacture, not the
expiry date.
G3. Connecting a Gas Hose to the
Barbecue

H. Operati on
H1. nWarnings
nBefore proc eeding, make certain that you
understand the IMPORTANT
INFORMATION sectio n of this manual.
nThis barbec ue is not designed to be used
with more than 50% of the cooking area
as a solid plate. Full coverage of plates
will c aus e excess ive build- up of heat and
damage the barbecue. This is not
covered by warranty.
H2. Preparat ion Befor e Cooking
To prevent foods from sticking to the
porcelain, please use a long handled brush
to apply a light coat of cooking or veget able
oil before each barbecuing session. Line the
drip tray with aluminium foil, then place a
uniform layer of clean, dry sand 1cm deep
into the t ray . This will a bsor b exces s co ok ing
fat, thus making cleanup easy.
H3. Lighting t he Bar becue
• Remov e the lid or open the hood.
• Ensure all knobs are in the off position.
Open the gas control valve on the gas
bott le or regulator .
• Push and turn the control knob of the
leftmost burner to the high position. P ress
the ignition button rapidly several times
until burner is lit. If burner fails to ig nite,
turn control knob to the off position and
turn gas off at the bottle or regulator. Wait
5 minutes, then repeat the above steps.
After successful lighting of the leftmost
burner, ignite the remaining burners in
sequence from left to right. Confirm each
burner is alight before igniting the next
burner. If any 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 lig ht, please refer to
the m anual igni tio n ins truc tio ns i n s ecti on
below.
• After ignition, b urners should be burned at
the hig h position for 3-5 minutes in order
to preheat the barbecue. This process
should be done before every cooking
session.
• After completion of preheating, turn all
burners to the low position for best
cooking resul ts.
H4. Manual Ignition I nst r uct ions
• Open t he barbecue hood.
• Insert lit match through the leftmost
match-lighting hole on the underside of
12
Page 13
the control panel and place near leftmost
burner porthole.
• Push and turn the leftmost control knob
anti-clockwise to t he high positio n.
• When the left burner is lit, turn the
remaining burners on from left to right.
• Confirm t hat each bur ner is alight before
turning on the next burner.
• If leftmost burner fails to ignite, contact
your local dealer for as sist ance.
• After ignition, burners 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, turn all
burners to the low position for best
cooking results
H5. Grill Co o king
The cast iron burners heat up the lava rock
underneath the grill, whic h in turn heats the
food on the grill. The natural food juices
produced during cooking fall onto the hot
lava rock below and vaporise. The
subsequent risi ng smoke bastes the food, as
it travels upwards, imparting that unique
barbecued flavour. More even cooking of
food will b e achieved by usi ng the BBQ w ith
the hood down. This should only be done
with the burners on low.
H6. Gr iddle Plate Cooking
The cast iron burners heat the griddle plate
directly, which then cooks the food on
contact. Plates allow for the cooking of
smaller items, such as seafood, whic h co uld
fall through the spaces of a grill. They are
also suitable for cooking items that require
high-temperature/short-duration cooking,
such as vegetables and smaller c uts of fish.
Similarly, it can be used in exactly the same
way as a griddle in the kitchen, for searing
steaks, cooking eggs, etc. Alternatively, it
can be used for heating pans or keeping food
warm.
H7. 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, et c.
When roasting, turn the burner directly under
the food to the OFF position. Turn all other
burners to a LOW to MEDIUM position and
close the hood. Avoid lifting the hood
unnecessarily as heat is lost every time the
hood is opened. Use the temperature gauge
to check the heat of the barbecue. DO NOT
ALLOW YOUR BARBECUE TO
OVERHEAT.
H8. Rotisserie Operat ing Instr uct ions
(Opt ional accessory)
1. Carefully remove the cast iron cooking
surfaces a nd t he warming rack from t he
barbecue.
2. For 3 and 4 burner models, s lid e t he la va
rock basket(s) to the centre of the
barbecue body. It is over this area that
the meat will b e c oo k e d.
3. Slide one of the spit forks onto the spit
rod and tig hten its thumb screw to secure
it into place. Insert the pointed end of t he
spit rod into the meat bei ng cook ed and
slide the meat towar ds the cent re of the
rod. Make sure the fork is fully into the
meat. Slide the other fork onto the rod,
into the meat, and tighten the thumb
screw once in place. For optimal
rotisserie cooking, food must be placed
securely onto the middle of the spit rod
and balanced so that the rotisserie can
rotate freely without interference from
any barbecue surfaces. Any loose
sections of meat should be secured so
they do not ha ng down and i nterfer e with
the rotation of the spit rod. Do not
overload the rotisserie. A chicken or joint of
meat of approximately 2kg should be the
maximum.
4. Insert t he pointed end of the spit rod into
the motor. Lay the other end of the spit
rod onto the opposite bracket.
5. Light the grill as specified in your
barbecue’s instructio ns.
6. Turn on the rotisserie motor to begin
rotisserie cooking. The hood has been
designed so that it may be closed duri ng
rotisser ie cooki ng.
7. Always cook foods on the lowest flame
setting to avoid burni ng or overcooking.
13
Page 14
H9. Flare-Up Control
In order to extend the life and maintain the
condition of your barbecue, we strongly
*** Ve ry Important Notice ***
Flare-ups occur when meat is barbecued, and
its fat and juices fall upon the hot lava rock.
Smoke of course helps give food its barbecued
fla vour, but it i s best to avoid excessive flare-up
to prevent food being burned. To control flareups, it is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to trim
away excess fat f rom 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. Also, the burners
should always be placed on the low setting
during cooking. When flare-ups do occur, they
can usually be extinguished by applying baking
soda or salt directly onto the lava rock. Always
protect your hands when handling anything
near the cooking surface of the barbecue, and
take care to protect yourself from the flames.
If a fat fire should occur in the drip tray, turn all
knobs to the of f position, turn off the gas at the
bottle, and wait for the fire to go out. NEVER
pull out the drip tray or douse with water.
H10. End of Cooking Sessi on
After each cooking session, turn the
barbecue burners to the “high” position and
burn for 5 mi nut es. This proced ure w ill burn
off cooking residue, thus making cleaning
easier. Make sure the hood or lid open
during this process.
H11. Tur ning O f f Your Barbecue
When you have finished using your
barbecue, turn all the control valves fully
clockwise to the “Off” position, then switc h off
the gas at the bottle.
I. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Regularly clea n your barbecue betwee n uses
and especially after extended periods of
storage. Ensure the barbecue and its
components are sufficiently cool before
cleaning. Do not leave the barbecue exp osed
to outside weather conditions or stored in
damp, moist areas.
nNever douse the barbecue with water
when its surfaces are hot.
nNever handle hot parts with unprotected
hands.
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.
I1. Porcelain Coated Cast Iron Cooking
Surfaces
Clean with hot, soapy water. To remove a ny
food residue, use a mild c ream cleaner on a
non-abrasive pad. Rinse well and dry
thoroughly. We do not recommend cleaning
grills and gr id dles in a dishwas her .
I2. Bu r n e r Ma in tena n c e
Provided that they are operating correctly, in
normal usage, burning off the residue after
cooking will keep the burners clean. The
burners should be removed and cleaned
annually, or whenever heavy build-up is
found, to ensure that there are no signs of
blockage (debris, insects) in eit her the bur ner
portholes or the primary air inlet of the cast
iron burners. Use a pipe cleaner to clear
obstructions. A wire brush can be used to
remo ve corrosion from the burner surfaces. It
is quite normal for surface rust to be pr esent
on the burners. When refitting the burners,
be careful to check that the neck of the
bur ner fits over the valve outlet.
I3. Lava Rock
It is not necessary to remove and wash the
lava rock in order to keep it clean. Burni ng 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.
I4. Drip Tra y
After every use, check the drip tray for fat
build-up in the sand. Discard any saturated
sand and replace it with fresh sand. Failure
to fill with sufficient clean, dry, loose sand
may result in a fat fire or excessive flare up.
This can severely damage your barbecue
and is not covered by the w ar r anty.
14
Page 15
I5. Porcelain Coated Barbecue Body
Regularly remo ve e xcess 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 clea n fully, use hot s oapy water and
a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush only. Use a
non-abrasi ve cloth or pad and clean with hot,
soapy water. (Note: Do not use scouring
pads or powders as they can permanently
damage the finish.) Remove cooking
surfaces and burners before full cleaning. Do
not immerse the gas controls or manifold in
water. Check bur ner operatio n after caref ully
refitting into body.
I6. 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.
I7. Tr olle y
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 w ill na tura lly weat her and c ha nge
its appearance. It is quite natural for small
cracks to appear on the surface of the wood.
I8. Fixings
All screws and bolts, etc. should be checked
and tightened on a regular basis.
I9. Storage
Store your barbec ue in a cool dry p lace. To
save space during long-term storage, the
side shelf screws can be removed, the side
shelves repositioned vertically (pointing
towar ds t he f loor), and the screw s replaced.
Cover the burners with aluminium foil in
order t o pr event insects or other debris from
collecting in burner holes. When using the
barbecue after extended periods of storage,
return side shelves to the normal position
and follow the cleaning procedures. The
barbecue should ne ver be operated with the
shelves positioned vertical ly. If the barbecue
is to be stored indoors, the gas bottle must
be disconnected and left outside. The gas
bottle should always be stored outside, in a
dry, well-ventilated area, away from any
sources of heat or ignitio n. Do not let children
tamper with the bottle.
