• Never remove the ash pan whilst the

• If you have any queries regarding these

F. Installation
F1. Selecting a Lo cation
This barbecue is for outdoor use only and should
be placed in a well-ventilated area on a safe and
even surface. 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
!
G. Operation
G1. Warning
• Before proceeding, make certain that you
understand the IMPORTANT INFORMATION
section of this manual.
• This barbecue is designed for charcoal use
only. We do not recommend the use of lump
wood charcoal or lump wood based charcoal
products as they burn too quickly in this
design. We recommend using charcoal
briquettes. Use only enough briquettes to
cover the bottom of the charcoal basket in a
single layer. Do not overload the charcoal
basket. The maximum amount of briquettes to
be used at any one time is 2.0kg.
G2. 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.
G3. Starting the Charcoal
• Make sure the charcoal basket is in the
highest position before lighting the charcoal.
• Caution: Do not use spirit or petrol for lighting
or re-lighting! Use only firelighters complying
to EN1860-3.
• When placing charcoal, never allow charcoa l
to be closer than 5cm to the surrounding sides
of the barbecue body. T he maximum amoun t
of charcoal to be used at any one time is
2.0kg.
• Block Type Starters – Form charcoal in a
pyramid around it. Light the starter block.
When charcoal is well lit, spread around the
charcoal grid and add more as necessary.
• Liquid Starters – Place charcoal in a shallow
tin. Pour liquid charcoal starter onto charcoal
and wait 5-10 minutes so that starter is
allowed to penetrate into the charcoal. Then
place charcoal on grid in a pyra mid formation.
Light charcoal. Allow time for charcoal to
become well lit. Spread charcoal in a unifor m
layer, so that each lump is just touching. When
the charcoal is ashed over (grey coating of ash
over each lump) you are ready to begin
cooking.
• Do not begin cooking until charcoal has an
ashed-over coat.
• Do not attempt to cook whilst charcoal is
flaming.
G4. Preparation Before Cooking
To prevent foods from sticking to the porcelain,
please use a long handled brush to apply a light
coat of cooking or vegetable oil before each
barbecuing session.
It is recommended to operate the barbecue with
red-hot charcoal for at least 30 minutes before
first use. The barbecue and grills are now ready to
be used for cooking.
G5. Using the Adjustable Charcoal Basket
Warning: Handles can become hot during use.
Please wear oven gloves and take care when
handling the adjustable charcoal basket.
11
Heat can be controlled by raising or lowering the
charcoal basket using the adjustable handles. For
normal cooking, set the charcoal basket to the
lowest level. As charcoal becomes consumed, the
basket can be raised to the highest level in order
to compensate for heat loss. Also, the basket can
be adjusted higher on one side and lower on the
other to facilitate warming of foods on the lower
side, and cooking on the higher side. The basket
should NEVER rest directly on top of the ash tray.
Always use either the lowest or highest levels of
hooks on the adjustable handles. The charcoal
basket must always be positioned in the middle of
the barbecue body, between the two stop pins.
G6. Flare-Up Control
Flare-ups occur when meat is barbecued and its
fat and juices fall upon the hot charcoal. Smoke
helps give food its barbecued flavour, but avoid
excessive flare-up to prevent food being burned.
To control flare-ups, it is advisable to tri m away
excess fat from meat and poultry before grilling.
Flare-ups can be extinguished by applying baking
soda or a salt directly onto the charcoal. Always
protect your hands when handling anything near
the cooking surface of the barbecue.
If a fat fire should occur in the ash tray, wait for
the fire to go out. Do not pull out the ash-collecting
tray or douse charcoal or tray with water.
G7. 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 the grill. Once
the grill is lifted, 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.
H. Care and Maintenance
Clean your barbecue after use, especially before
extended periods of storage. Ensure the barbecue
and its components are sufficiently cool before
cleaning.
• 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 len gth of time, especially during
the winter months. A full range of heavy-duty
Outback® covers is available fo r all models. Do
not leave the barbecue exposed to outside
weather conditions or stored in damp, moist
areas.
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.
H1. Porcelain Coated Cast Iron Cooking
Surfaces
Clean with hot, soapy water. T o remove any food
residue, use a mild cream cleaner on a nonabrasive pad. Rinse well and dry thoroughly. We
do not recommend cleaning grills and griddles in a
dishwasher.
H2. Adjustable Charcoal Basket
When fully cooled, use the handles to shake the
basket vigorously until all loose ash falls through
into the ash tray. Dispose of any unburned
charcoal and remove remaining residue with a
brass wire brush.
H3. Ash Tray
After every use, check the tray for ash or fat buildup on the aluminium foil. Discard the ash and foil,
and wash any remaining ash or fat from the tray.
Failure to clean thoroughly may cause fat fires.
These fires can severely damage your barbecue
and are not
covered by the warranty.
H4. Barbecue Body
Regularly remove excess grease or fat fro m 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 nylon-bristled
brush only. Remove cast iron cooking grills before
full cleaning.
H5. Trolley
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 will naturally weather
and change its appearance. It is quite natural for
small cracks to appear on the surface of the
wood.
H6. Fixings
All screws and bolts, etc. should be checked and
tightened on a regular basis.
