  • Page 14: Chapter 7: Gas, Regulator And Hose

    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 +10°C.
  • Page 15: Chapter 8: Installation

    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.).
  • Page 16: Chapter 9: Operation

    Operation Warnings • Before proceeding, make certain that you understand the IMPORTANT INFORMATION 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.
  • Page 17 Operation Grids Cooking The food on the grid is cooked by the heat produced from the flame tamer below. The natural food juices produced during cooking fall onto the flame tamer below and vaporise. The subsequent rising smoke bastes the food, as it travels upwards, imparting that unique barbecued flavour.
  • Page 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.
  • Page 19: Chapter 10: Care And Maintenance

    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.
  • Page 20: Care And Maintenance

    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.
