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 +10eC. A spanner may be

required to change gas bottles. Check that you have the correct gas bottle and regulator
for your barbecue.

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.
The length of hose should not exceed 1.5 metres.

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.

Installation

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!

Precautions

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 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.

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
over tighten. Do not use any sealing tape, paste or liquid on the connection.

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.

16

Operation

Warnings

•Before proceeding, make certain that you understand the IMPORTANT NFORMIATION 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.

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 barbec

uing session. (Note: When cooking for the first time,
paint colors 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.

Lighting the Barbecue

Manual Ignition Instructions

•Open the barbecue lid before lighting. Never light your barbecue with the 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 match-lighting hole on the underside 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.

•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 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.

17

• 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 and turn the second control knob to the high position. Push in and hold the igniter button for 4 to 5
seconds to light the 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 successful lighting of the second burner, push and turn the fi rst control knob or the third control
knob to high position, the burner should ignite automatically. After igniting the third burner.

• 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.

Operation

Grids Cooking

The food on the grid is cooked by the heat produced from the flame tamers below. The
natural food juices produced during cooking fall onto the heat diffuser below and vaporise.
The subsequent rising smoke bastes the food, as it travels upwards, imparting that unique
barbecued flavour.

Roasting Lid Cooking

Barbecues equipped with a roasting lid 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 lid down.

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.

Close the lid to cook the food ‘indirectly’. Avoid lifting the lid unnecessarily as heat is lost
every time the hood is opened. If the lid is opened during cooking, please allow extra time
for the barbecue to regain its temperature and complete the cooking. Use the temperature
gauge to monitor the heat of the barbecue.

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

Warming Rack

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.

Flare-Up Control

Flare-ups occur when meat is barbecued, and its fat and juices fall upon the heat
diffuser. 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 flare-ups, 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 heat diffuser. 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.

18

Operation

Fat Fires

Empty and clean the grease tray (and grease cup) 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 grease tray (and
grease cup) 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 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.

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 lid is open during this process.

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 lid.

19

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 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.

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.

Barbecue 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.

Flame Tamer

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.

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.

20

Care and Maintenance

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 re fitting 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

Grease Tray

After every use, empty and clean the grease tray (and grease cup) 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 hot soapy water.

therefore not covered by the terms of the warranty. If required, the tray can be washed in

Fixings

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

Storage

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

Cover the burners with aluminum 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.
