Warming Rack; Control Panel - Outback Omega 100 Assembly And Operating Instructions Manual

achieved by using the BBQ with the hood down.
This should only be done with the burners on low.
When using your barbecue for grill cooking you
may wish to place the hood in the closed position
which will hold the heat in to aid cooking.
I6. 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, etc.
When roasting, turn the burner under the food to
the OFF position. Close the hood and turn the
other burner down to a lower setting i.e. low to
medium to achieve the temperature required. DO
NOT ALLOW YOUR
OVERHEAT. Avoid lifting the hood unnecessarily
as heat is lost each time the hood is opened.
I7. Flare-Up Control
Flare-ups occur when meat is barbecued, and its
fat and juices fall upon the hot lava rock. Smoke
helps give food its barbecued flavour, but avoid
excessive flare-up to prevent food being burned.
To control flare-up, it is advisable to trim away
excess fat from meat and poultry before grilling. To
reduce flare ups, the burner should be turned
down to the low setting. Flare-ups can be
extinguished by applying baking soda or salt
directly onto the lava rocks. Always protect your
hands when handling anything near the cooking
surface of the barbecue.
I8. End of Cooking Session
After each cooking session, turn the barbecue
burner to the "high" position and burn for 5
minutes. This procedure will burn off cooking
residue, thus making cleaning easier. Make sure
the hood is open during this process.
I9. 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 at the bottle. Wait
until the barbecue is sufficiently cool before closing
its hood.
J. 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 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
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
you 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. 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. Chrome plated
warming racks and grills should be coated with
cooking oil.
J1. Cooking Grill
Clean with hot soapy water. To remove any food
residue, use a mild cream cleaner on a non-
abrasive pad. Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
J2. Burner Maintenance
Your burner has been preset for optimal flame
performance. You will normally see a blue flame,
possibly with a small yellow tip when the burner is
alight. If the flame pattern is significantly yellow,
this could be a problem caused by grease from
cooking blocking the burner or spiders or other
insects in the burner venturi. This can result in the
flow of the gas and air mixture being restricted or
blocked which may result in a fire behind the
control panel causing serious damage to your
barbecue. If this happens, the gas should be
immediately turned off at the bottle. Burners
should be inspected and cleaned on a regular
basis in addition to the following conditions:
1. Bringing the barbecue out of storage.
2. One or more of the burners do not ignite.
3. The burner flame pattern is significantly
yellow.
4. The gas ignites behind the control panel.
To clean a burner, remove it from the barbecue by
removing the 2 securing screws underneath the
body of the barbecue. The outside of the burner
can be cleaned with a wire brush.
Clean the portholes with a pipe cleaner or piece of
wire. Take care not to enlarge the portholes.
