Gas, Regulator And Hose - Outback Excelsior 3 Assembly And Operating Instructions Manual

•
Cover the burners with foil to keep the burner holes free from insects or other debris.
•
If you intend to leave your barbecue outside make sure it is protected from the elements by a heavy duty
cover, these are available from most Outback® stockists.
•
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 treated. Chrome plated warming racks etc. should be coated with
cooking oil.
•
The gas bottle must be always be disconnected from the barbecue and stored in a well ventilated area at
least 1 metre away from any fixed ignition source. Do not store inside residential accommodation. Never
store cylinders below ground level (e.g. cellars). Do not let children tamper with bottles.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
•
This product is for outdoor use only. Do not use indoors. Do not use below ground level.
•
Do not store Gas bottles below ground level. LP gas is heavier than air so if a leak occurs the gas will
collect at a low level and could ignite in the presence of a flame or spark.
•
Do not store or use LP gas bottles on their side as this could allow liquid gas into the supply pipes with
serious results.
•
Leak test your barbecue annually. Check the hose connections are tight and leak test each time you
reconnect the gas bottle.
•
Always turn off the gas at the gas bottle when not in use.
•
Do not use aerosols near this barbecue.

GAS, REGULATOR AND HOSE

This barbecue, hose, (and regulator, if included), are approved for use in the UK. The barbecue is also
approved for use in other countries as listed on the control panel and in the Technical Specifications included
in the barbecue manual. If the barbecue is intended to be used outside of the UK, the consumer MUST seek
advice from the local qualified gas supplier as to the suitability of the barbecue and with regards to the correct
hose and regulator that they should be using.
This barbecue can run on propane or butane LPG (liquid petroleum gas) bottled gas. For optimal performance
we recommend the use of propane gas which is supplied under a number of different names and bottle
colours. Butane gas can be used but it may restrict the heat output available from the burners, particularly
when the gas temperature falls below +10 degrees Celsius. If in doubt, please consult your gas dealer/
distributor.
For optimal performance, we suggest the following:
MODEL BUTANE MINIMUM BOTTLE SIZE
3 BURNERS
6 BURNERS
Suitable regulator:
Butane – outlet pressure 28-30mbar
Propane – outlet pressure 37mbar The use of an adjustable regulator is dangerous and must never be used
with this barbecue.
Hose
•
Check that the gas hose does not touch any part of the barbecue that may become hot during operation.
•
If the hose shows any sign of damage it must be replaced with a hose that is suitable for use with LPG
(liquid petroleum gas) and meets British Standards.
•
The length of hose should not exceed 1.5 metres.
Please note: the date on UK hose is the date of manufacture – not the expiry date.
