Outback Spectrum 2 Burner Assembly And Operating Instructions Manual page 14

The hottest areas will be above the burners
which will be where the flare ups will
normally start. By leaving free space you
can simply move the food away from the
flare up to a cooler area until the flare up
has subsided.
If a fat fire should occur in the drip tray, turn
all knobs to the off position, turn off the gas
at the bottle, and wait for the fire to go out.
Do not pull out the drip tray or douse with
water.
H9. 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.
H10. Turning Off Your Barbecue
When you have
barbecue, turn all the control valves fully
clockwise to the "Off" position. To do this,
push and hold in the control knob at the
"High" position and turn to "Off". The gas
must then be turned off at the bottle.
I. 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 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. 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. Wooden
parts may also need to be cleaned and re
oiled. Chrome plated warming racks etc.
should be coated with cooking oil.
I1. Porcelain Coated Cast Iron Cooking
Surfaces
Enamel is a thin, glass based coating fused
onto metal and as such needs to be treated
with care Cooking oil, together with fat from
food being cooked can turn to carbon as a
result of heating and result in black flakes
coming away from the cooking surfaces.
These are not harmful. Porcelain should be
cleaned using hot soapy water or with the
use a suitable cleaning product following
the manufactures instructions. Due to the
weight of the grills and griddle, we do not
recommend cleaning in a dishwasher.
I2. Burner Maintenance
Your burners have 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:
•
Bringing the barbecue out of storage.
•
One or more of the burners do not
ignite.
•
The burner
