5. Important Information

Please read these instructions carefully
before assembly and use of your barbecue.

 Retain these instructions for future

reference.

 This product is for outdoors use only. Do not

use indoors.

 Do not use the barbecue or store gas bottles

below ground level. LP gas is heavier than
air so if a leak occurs the gas will collect at a
low level and could ignite in the presence of
a flame or spark.

 For use with LPG bottled gas only. A

suitable regulator must be used for butane,
propane or mixes.

 Remove plastic wrap from any part before

lighting.

 Do not use within 1m of any flammable

structure or surface. Do not use under any
combustible surface.

 LP gas bottles should never be placed

directly underneath the barbecue.

 LP gas bottles should never be stored or

used laid on their side, in the horizontal
position. A leak would be very serious and
liquid could enter the gas line with serious
result.

 Never store gas bottles indoors.
 Open the barbecue hood or lid before

lighting.

 Once lit, do not move the barbecue until it

has completely cooled, after use.

 This barbecue must not be left unattended

when lit.

 The hood or lid handle can become very hot.

Grip only the centre of the handle. Always
use oven gloves when cooking or carrying
out any adjustments to the barbecue.

 Use purpose designed barbecue tools with

long, heat resistant handles.

 Use caution when opening the hood or lid,

as hot steam inside is released upon
opening.

 Parts of this barbecue become very hot –

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

 Turn off the gas supply at the gas bottle

after use.

 Never cover a barbecue until it has

completely cooled.

 Use this barbecue only on a stable, flat

surface.

 Before you use your barbecue, 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.

 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.

 Modification of the barbecue may be

dangerous, is not permitted and will nullify
any warranty.

 If you have any queries regarding these

instructions, contact your local dealer.

6. Gas, Regulator and Hose

This barbecue can use either propane or
butane or propane / butane mixed LPG (liquid
petroleum gas) bottled gas. Propane bottles,
will supply gas all year round, even on cold
winter days. Butane bottles will supply sufficient
gas in summer, but it may affect the
performance of the barbecue and restrict the
heat output available from the burners,
particularly once the gas temperature starts to
fall below +10°C. A spanner may be required to
change gas bottles.

Do not stand the bottle inside the trolley
cabinet.

The hose should hang freely with no bends,
twisting, tension, folds, or kinks that could
obstruct free flow of gas. Always inspect
the hose for cuts, cracks, or excessive wear
before use.
Apart from the connection point, no part of
the hose should touch any hot barbecue
parts. If the hose shows any sign of
damage it must be replaced with a hose
suitable for use with LP gas which meets
the national standards for the country of
use.
A suitable hose must comply with ISO3821,
and the length should not exceed 1.5
metres.

For optimal performance, we suggest using a
13kg or 15kg gas bottle. A suitable regulator
must comply with EN12864. YOU MUST HAVE
THE PROPER REGULATOR AND BOTTLE IN
ORDER FOR THE BARBECUE TO OPERATE

17

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.

7. Installation

7.1. Selecting a Location

This barbecue is for outdoor use only and
should be placed in a well-ventilated 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 make sure that there are no heat sources
near the barbecue (cigarettes, open flames,
spark etc.). Keep this barbecue away from any
flammable materials!

7.2. Precautions

Do not obstruct any ventilation openings in the
barbecue body.

Should you need to install or 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.

The casters should always have the brakes on
when the barbecue is in use.

7.3. Connecting a Gas Hose to the Barbecue

Connect the gas hose to the gas rail inlet on the
left hand side of the barbecue. Do not
overtighten. Do not use any sealing tape, paste
or liquid on the connection.

7.4. Fixing a 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.

8. Operation

8.1. Warnings

 Before proceeding, make certain that you

u n d e r s t a n d t h e I M P O R T A N T
INFORMATION section of this manual.

 Your barbecue is not designed to be used

with more than 50% 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.

8.2. Preparation Before Cooking

To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking
surface, 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.) During use, the
protective coating may come off the cooking
surface. This is normal and is not harmful.

Line the drip tray with aluminium foil, then place
a uniform layer of clean, dry sand 1cm deep
into the tray. This will absorb excess cooking
fat, thus making cleanup easy.

8.3. Lighting the Barbecue

Open the barbecue and side burner hood
or lid before lighting. Never light your
barbecue or side burner with the hood or lid
closed.
Ensure all knobs are in the off position.
Open the gas control valve on the gas
bottle or regulator.
Push the control knob of the burner you
wish to light 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.
Ignite any of the remaining burners in any
order, as needed. Confirm each burner is
alight before igniting another burner.
If 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. Reattempt all of the
above steps. If the barbecue still fails to
light, please refer to the manual ignition
instructions below.
After ignition, turn the burners to the high
position for 3-5 minutes in order to pre-heat
the barbecue. This should be done before
each cooking session. The hood or lid
should be open during preheating.
After completion of preheating, turn all
burners to the low position for best cooking
results.

8.4. Manual Ignition Instructions

Open the barbecue and side burner hood

18

or lid before lighting. Never light your
barbecue or side burner with the hood or lid
closed.

Ensure all knobs are in the off position.
Open the gas control valve on the gas
bottle or regulator.
Insert lit match through the right match­lighting hole on the right side of the
barbecue body and place near rightmost
burner porthole.
Push and turn the rightmost control knob
anti-clockwise to the high position, taking
care to protect yourself from the flames.
When the right burner is lit, turn the
remaining burners on from right to left.
Confirm that each burner is alight before
turning on the next burner.
To light the side burner place the lit end of
a long match alongside the side burner.
Push and turn the side burner knob anti­clockwise to the high position, taking care
to protect yourself from the flames.
If a burner fails to ignite, contact your local
dealer for assistance.
After ignition, turn the burners to the high
position for 3-5 minutes in order to pre­heat the barbecue. This should be done
before each cooking session. The hood or
lid should be open during preheating.
After completion of preheating, turn all
burners to the low position for best cooking
results.

8.5. Grill Cooking

The burners heat up the flame tamer
underneath the grill, which in turn heats the
food on the grill. The natural food juices
produced during cooking fall onto the flame
tamer below and vaporise. The subsequent
rising smoke bastes the food, as it travels
upwards, imparting that unique barbecued
flavour.

8.6. Griddle Plate Cooking (where supplied)

The burners heat the griddle plate directly,
which then cooks the food on contact. Griddle
plates allow for the cooking of smaller items,
such as seafood, which could 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 cuts 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.

8.7. Roasting Hood Cooking

Barbecues equipped with a roasting 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. However, this should only be

done with the burners on low.

For best results, place the food you wish to
bake or roast on a metal baking tray and set it
on one side of the cooking grill.

Turn the burner directly under the food to the
OFF position and turn all other burners to a
LOW to MEDIUM position.

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 its temperature
and complete the cooking. Use the temperature
gauge (if applicable) to monitor the heat of the
barbecue.

If the internal heat becomes too high, turn the
burners down to the low position. It is not
necessary or advisable to have all of the
burners on high when the hood is closed.

DO NOT ALLOW YOUR BARBECUE TO
OVERHEAT. Take care when opening the hood
as hot steam can be released on opening.

8.8. Warming Rack (where supplied)

Warming racks are a convenient way to keep
cooked food warm or to warm items such as
bread rolls. It is advisable to place food
(particularly fatty foods) to the front of the
warming rack to avoid the possibility of juices
and fat running down the back of your
barbecue. Always check that your warming rack
is properly fitted before use.

8.9. Rotisserie Operating Instructions
(Optional accessory, hooded models only)

1. Carefully remove the cooking surfaces and
the warming rack (where supplied) from the
barbecue.

2. If applicable, slide the lava rock in baskets
to the centre of the barbecue body. It is
over this area that the meat will be cooked.

3. Slide one of the spit forks onto the spit rod
and tighten its thumb screw to secure it into
place. Insert the pointed end of the spit rod
into the meat being cooked and slide the

19

meat towards the centre 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
hang down and interfere 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 the 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 instructions.

6. Turn on the rotisserie motor to begin
rotisserie cooking. The hood has been
designed so that it may be closed during
rotisserie cooking.

7. Always cook foods on the lowest flame
setting to avoid burning or overcooking.

8.10. Flare-Up Control

*** Very Important Notice ***

Flare-ups occur when meat is barbecued, and
its fat and juices fall upon the hot flame tamer.
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. 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 flame tamer. 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 occurs, please see the instructions
given below.

8.11. Fat Fires

Empty and clean the drip tray (and foil liner, if
applicable) of food debris after each cooking
session. If the barbecue is to be used for large

gatherings, it will be necessary to turn off and
cool the barbecue every two hours to remove
food debris from the drip tray (and foil liner, if
applicable) and clean it out. 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 supply 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 or lid 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.

8.12. End of Cooking Session

After each cooking session, turn the barbecue

burners to the “high” position and burn for 5

minutes. This procedure will burn off cooking
residue, thus making cleaning easier. Make
sure the hood or lid is open during this process.

8.13. 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 supply at

the bottle.

Wait until the barbecue is sufficiently cool
before closing its hood or lid.

9. 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 handle hot parts with unprotected

hands.

 Never douse the barbecue with water when

20

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 with barbecue paint 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.

9.1. Cooking Surfaces & Warming Rack

When the barbecue has cooled, clean with hot
soapy water. To remove any food residue, 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.

It is quite normal for surface rust to be present
on the cooking surface. If rust appears between
uses or in storage, clean with a soft brass wire
brush. Be careful not to damage the cooking
surface, re-oil and cure.

9.2. Burner

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 either the burner portholes or
the primary air inlet of the burners. Use a pipe
cleaner to clear obstructions.

When refitting the burners, be careful to check
that the neck of the burner fits over the valve
outlet.

It is quite normal for surface rust to be present
on the burners. If rust appears between uses or
in storage, clean with a soft brass wire brush.

9.3. Flame Tamer (where supplied)

Remove any food residue from the flame tamer
surface with a plastic or wooden scraper or
brass wire brush. Do not use a steel scraper or
wire brush. Clean with hot soapy water and
rinse well.

9.4. Drip Tray

After every use, empty and clean the drip tray
(and foil liner, if applicable) of any fat or food
particles, using a plastic or wooden scraper if
necessary.

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 barbecue and is therefore not
covered by the terms of the warranty. If

required, the tray can be washed in hot soapy
water.

9.5. 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 and burners before full cleaning. Do
not immerse the gas controls or manifold in
water. Check burner operation after carefully
refitting into body.

A stainless steel cleaner may be used on
stainless steel parts if required.

9.6. Barbecue Hood or Lid

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.

9.7. Fixings

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

9.8. Storage

Ensure the barbecue is properly cooled before
covering or storing. Store your barbecue in a
cool dry place.

Cover the burners with aluminium foil in order to
prevent insects or other debris from collecting in
burner holes.

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 ignition. Do not let children
tamper with the bottle.

When using the barbecue after extended
periods of storage follow the cleaning
procedures.
