G. Gas a nd Regulator

This barbecue can use eith er propane or
butane LPG bottled gas. Propane bottles,
normally red coloured, will supply gas all year
round, even on cold winter days. A spanne r
may be required to change gas bottles. B utane
bottles, normally blue, will supply sufficient gas
in summer, but performance of the barbecue
may be affected once the gas temperatur e
starts to fall below +10°C. The bottle shoul d
never be stood on the trolley base and placed
directly under the barbecue . Gas bottles should
never be stored or used laid on t heir side.
Never store gas bottles i ndoors.

For optimal performance, we suggest the
following:

Model Butane Minimum

Outback®
Excel 100

Outback®
Excel 200

Outback®
Excel 300

Suitable regulators for butane must have an
outlet pressure of 28-30mbar. For propane, the
regulator must have a n outlet pressure of
37mbar. YOU MUST HAVE THE PROPER
REGULATOR AND B OTTLE IN ORDER FO R
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 deal er for the most
suitable gas bottles and regulators.

H. Installati on

H1. Selecting a Location

This barbecue is f or outdoor use only and
should be placed in a well-ventilated area. 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!

H2. Precautions

Do not obstruct any ventilat ion openings in the
barbecue body. Secure the gas bottle on the
cylinder holder and always tighten it with the
black strap provided. Should you nee d to

19

change the gas bottle, confirm that th e
barbecue is switched off, and that there are n o
sources of ignition (cigarettes, open fla me,
sparks, etc.) near before proceeding. Inspect
the gas hose to ensure it is free of any twisting
or tension. The hose should hang freely with n o
bends, folds, or kinks that could obstruct fre e
flow of gas. Apart from the connection point, no
part of the hose should touch any hot barbecue
parts. Always inspect the hos e for cuts, cracks,
or excessive wear b efore 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 e xceed 1.5m. N. B.-Th e dat e

on U.K. orange hose is the date of
manufacture, not the expiry date.

H3. Fixing the Regulator to the Gas Bottle

Confirm all barbecue c ontrol knobs are in the
off position. Connect the regulat or to the gas
bottle according to your regulator and bottle

dealer’s instructions.

H4. Leak Testing (To be performed in a
well-ventilated area.)

Confirm all control knobs are in the off position.
Open the gas control valve on the bottle or
regulator. Check for leaks by brushing a
solution of ½ water and ½ soap over all g as
system joints, including all valv e connections,
hose connections and regulat or connections.
NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME to te st for
leaks at anytime. If bubbles form over a ny of
the joints, there is a leak. Turn off the gas
supply and retighten all joints. Re peat test. If
bubbles form again , do not use the barbecue.
Please contact your local dealer for assi stance.
Leak test your barbecue a nnually. Check the
hose connections are tight and leak test them
each time you reconnect the gas bottle.

I. Op era t ion

I1. Warning

• Before proceeding, make certain that you

understand the IM PORTANT
INFORMATION s ection of this manual.

I2. Preparation Before Cooking

To prevent foods fro m sticking to the cooking
grill, please use a long handled bru sh to apply
a light coat of cooking or veget able oil before

each barbecuing session. (Note: When

cooking for the first tim e , paint colours m ay
change slig htly as a re sult. This is normal
and should be expected.)

I3. Lighting the Barbecue

• Open the barbecue hoo d.

• Ensure all knobs are in th e off position.

Open the gas control val ve on the gas

bottle or regulator.

• Push and turn the leftmost control kno b to
the high position. Press the igniti on button
rapidly several ti mes until left portion o f the
burner is lit. If burne r fails to ignite, turn
control knob to the off position and turn
gas off at the bottle or regul ator. Wait five
minutes, then repeat the above steps.
After successful lighting of the left sid e,
ignite the remaining portion of the burne r.
If the burner fails to ignite after fo llowing
above procedure, turn all the kn obs 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
light, please refer to the manual ignition
instructions in section be low.

• After ignition, the b urner should be burne d
at the high position for 3-5 minutes in ord er
to preheat the bar becue. This process
should be done before e very cooking
session. The hood (where applicable)
should be open during p reheating.

• After completion of preheating, the burn er
should normally be turned down to a lower
position for best cooking results.

I4. Manual Lighting Instructions

• Insert lit match through the match-lighting
hole underneath the barbecue.

• Push and turn the rightmost control kno b
anti-clockwise to the hig h position.

• After the right portion of the burner is lit,
light the remaining portio n of the burner.

• If burner fails to ignit e, contact your local
dealer for assistance.

• After ignition, the b urner should be burne d
at the high position for 3-5 minutes in ord er
to preheat the bar becue. This process
should be done before e very cooking
session. The hood (where applicable)

should be open during p reheating.

• After completion of preheating, the burn er
should normally be turned down to a lower

position for best cooking results.

I5. Warming Rack

Warming racks are a convenient way to keep
cooked food war m or to warm ite ms such as
bread rolls. Care should be taken to ensure
that any items placed on the warming rack are
cooked through and do not continue to co ok
and drip fat or meat juices, which could dri p

20

onto the hood and dow n the back of the

barbecue.

I6. Grill Cooking

The burner heats up th e lava rock underneath
the grill, which in turn heats the food on the
grill. The natural food juices produced during
cooking fall onto the hot lava rock below an d
vaporise. The subsequent risi ng smoke bastes
the food, as it travels upwards, imparting that
unique barbecued flavour.

When using your barbecue for grill c ooking,
you may wish to place the hood in the closed
position which will hold the heat in and give
more even cooking of the food. This should
only be done wit h the burner turned down to a
lower setting.

I7. Roasting Hood Cooking

Barbecues equipped with a ro asting hood give
the option of cooking with hood clo sed to form
an ‘oven’ for roasting food, such as joints of
meat, whole chickens, et c.

When roasting, turn the burner under the food
to the OFF position. Cl ose the hood and turn
the other burner down to a lower setting i.e. lo w
to medium to achieve the temperature required.
DO NOT ALLOW YOUR BARBECUE TO
OVERHEAT. Avoid lifting the hoo d
unnecessarily as heat is lost each time the
hood is opened.

I8. Side-Burner Cooking

When using the side-burner, care should be
taken to ensure that pans are c entral and flat
on the side-burner grid.

I9. Flare-Up Control

Flare-ups occur when meat is barbecued, an d
its fat and juices fall upo n the hot lava rock.
Smoke helps give food its barbecued f lavour,
but avoid excessive flare-up to prevent foo d
being burned. To control flare-up, it is advisable
to trim away excess fat from meat and poultry
before grilling. The burner sh ould be turned
down to a lower setting to reduce fl are-up.
Flare-ups can be extinguished by a pplying
baking soda or salt directly onto the la va rocks.
Always protect your hands when h andling
anything near the cooki ng surface of the
barbecue.

I10. End of Cooking Session

After each cooking s ession, turn the barbecu e
burner to the “ high” position and burn for 5
minutes. This procedure will burn off cooking

residue, thus making cleanin g easier. Make
sure the hood is open d uring this process.

I11. Turning Off Your Barbecue

When you have fi nished using your bar becue,
turn all the contro l valves fully clockwis e to the
“Off” position, then switch off the gas at the
bottle. Wait until the barbecue is sufficiently
cool before closing its h ood.

J. CARE AND M AINTENANCE

Regularly clean your barbecue between uses
and especially after extended perio ds of
storage. Ensure the barbecue and its
components are sufficiently cool before
cleaning. Do not leave the barbecue exposed
to outside weather conditions o r stored in
damp, moist areas.

• Never douse t he barbecue with water when

its surfaces are hot.

• Never handle hot p arts with unprotected

hands.

In order to extend the life and maintain the
condition of your barbecue, we strong ly
recommend that the uni t be covered when left
outside for any length of time, especially during
the winter months. Heavy-duty Outback®
barbecue covers and oth er accessories are
available from you local Outback® stockist.

Even when your barbecu e is covered for its
protection, it must b e inspected on a regul ar
basis as damp or condensation can fo rm which
may result in damage to the barbecue. Any ru st
that is found that does not come into contact
with the food should be trea ted with a rust
inhibitor and painted with barbecue paint or a
heat resistant paint. Chrome plated war ming
racks should be coated with cooking oil.

J1. Cooking Grill

Clean with hot soapy water. T o remove any
food residue, use a mild cream cleaner on a
non-abrasive pad. Rinse well and d ry
thoroughly.

J2. Burner Maintenance

Your burner has been preset f or optimal flame
performance. You wil l normally see a blu e
flame, possibly with a small yellow tip when the
burner is alight. If the flame pattern is
significantly y ellow, this could be a problem
caused by grea se from cooking blocking the

21

burner or spiders or other insects in the burn er
venturi. This can resu lt in the flow of the g as
and air mixture being restricted or blocked
which may result in a fire behind the contr ol
panel causing serious damage to yo ur

barbecue. If th is hap pe ns, the gas should be
imme diate ly turne d off at the bottle . Burners

should be inspected and cleaned on a regul ar
basis in addition to the f ollowing conditions:

1) Bringing the barbecue o ut of storage.

2) One or more of the burn ers do not ignite.

3) The burner flame patter n is significantly
yellow.

4) The gas ignites behind t he control panel.

To clean a burner, remove it from the
barbecue. The outside of the burner can b e
cleaned with a w ire brush. Clean the portholes
with a pipe cleane r or piece of wire. Take care
not to enlarge the porth oles.
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. Yo u may need a torch to see into
the venturi tube to make s ure it is clear. ”Turn
the burner up on end a nd lightly tap against a
piece of wood to dislodge any debris from
inside.”

Ventur i tube

J3. Lava Rock

It is not necessary to remove and wash the
lava rock in order to ke ep it clean. Burning off
the residue after e ach cooking should b e
sufficient. Heavily impregnat ed lava rock
should be turned over so that the dirty side
faces the burners in order t o burn off any
residue. Replacement lava r ock is available
from your local Outback ® stockist.

J4. Barbecue Body

Regularly remove e xcess grease or fat from the
barbecue body with a soft plastic or woode n
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 nylon­bristled brush only. Remove cooking surfac es
and burners before full cle aning. Do not
immerse the gas controls or manifold in water.
Check burner operation af ter carefully refitting

into body. Check the gr ease cup and clean out

any grease that has drai ned into it.

J5. Fixings

All screws and bolts, etc. sho uld be checked
and tightened on a regul ar basis.

J6. Storage

Store your barbecue in a cool dry place. It must
be inspected on a regular basis as da mp or
condensation c an form which may result in
damage to the barbecue. It may be necessary
to dry the barbecue and th e inside of the cover
