before assembly and use of your barbecue.
nRetain these instructions for future
reference.
nThis product is for outdoors use only. Do not
use indoors.
nDo not use the barbecue or 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.
nFor use with LPG bottled gas only. A
suitable regulator must be used for butane,
propane or mixes.
nRemove plastic wrap from any part before
lighting.
nDo not use within 1m of any flammable
structure or surface. Do not use under any
combustible surface.
nLP gas bottles should never be placed
directly underneath the barbecue.
nLP gas bottles should never be stored or
used laid on their side, in the horizontal
position. A leak would be very serious and
liquid could enter the gas line with serious
result.
nNever store gas bottles indoors.
nOpen the barbecue hood or lid before
lighting.
nOnce lit, do not move the barbecue until it
has completely cooled, after use.
nThis barbecue must not be left unattended
when lit.
nThe hood or lid handle can become very hot.
Grip only the centre of the handle. Always
use oven gloves when cooking or carrying
out any adjustments to the barbecue.
nUse purpose designed barbecue tools with
long, heat resistant handles.
nUse caution when opening the hood or lid,
as hot steam inside is released upon
opening.
nParts of this barbecue become very hot –
care must be taken, especially when
children, elderly people, and animals are
present.
nTurn off the gas supply at the gas bottle
after use.
nNever cover a barbecue until it has
completely cooled.
nUse this barbecue only on a stable, flat
surface.
nBefore you use your barbecue, perform a

nModification of the barbecue may be
dangerous, is not permitted and will nullify
any warranty.
nIf you have any queries regarding these
instructions, contact your local dealer.
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 burner,
particularly once the gas temperature starts to
fall below +10°C. A spanner may be required to
change gas bottles.
• The hose should hang freely with no bends,
twisting, tension, folds, or kinks that could
obstruct free flow of gas. Always inspect
the hose for cuts, cracks, or excessive wear
before use.
• Apart from the connection point, no part of
the hose should touch any hot barbecue
parts. If the hose shows any sign of
damage it must be replaced with a hose
suitable for use with LP gas which meets
the national standards for the country of
use.
• A suitable hose must comply with
EN16436-1 or local regulation, and the
length should not exceed 1.5 metres.
For optimal performance, we suggest using a
13kg gas bottle. A suitable regulator must
comply with EN16129. YOU MUST HAVE THE
PROPER REGULATOR AND BOTTLE IN
ORDER FOR THE BARBECUE TO OPERATE
SAFELY AND EFFICIENTLY. USE OF AN

11
INCORRECT OR FAULTY REGULATOR IS
DANGEROUS AND WILL INVALIDATE ANY
WARRANTY. Please consult your local gas
dealer for the most suitable gas bottles and
regulators.
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.). Keep this barbecue away from any
flammable materials!
Precautions
Do not obstruct any ventilation openings in the
barbecue body.
Position the gas bottle on level ground next to
the barbecue and safely away from any source
of heat.
Should you need to install or change the gas
bottle, confirm that the barbecue is switched off,
and that there are no sources of ignition
(cigarettes, open flame, sparks, etc.) near before
proceeding.
Connecting a Gas Hose to the Barbecue
Warm the end of the hose in hot water for 2
minutes. Ensure the jubilee clip is on the hose,
and then push the hose all the way onto the
outlet of the gas valve. Using a screwdriver turn
the retaining screw to tighten the jubilee clip.
Fixing a Regulator to the Gas Bottle
Confirm all barbecue control knobs are in the off
position. Connect the regulator to the gas bottle
according to your regulator and bottle dealer’s
instructions.
Operation
nWarnings
nBefore proceeding, make certain that you
understand the IMPORTANT INFORMATION
section of this manual.
nYour barbecue is not designed to be used
with the cooking area as a solid plate — this
includes baking dishes. Full coverage will
cause excessive build-up of heat and
damage the barbecue. This is not covered by
warranty.
Preparation Before Cooking
To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking
surface, please use a long handled brush to
apply a light coat of cooking or vegetable oil
before each barbecuing session. (Note: When
cooking for the first time, paint colours may
change slightly as a result. This is normal and
should be expected.) During use, the protective
coating may come off the cooking surface. This
is normal and is not harmful.
Lighting the Barbecue
• Open the barbecue hood or lid before
lighting. Never light your barbecue with the
hood or lid closed.
• Ensure knob is in the off position. Open the
gas control valve on the gas bottle or
regulator.
• Push the control knob in and turn it anti-
clockwise until you feel resistance to the
turning. Pause 4 seconds, then continue
turning the control knob until a click is heard
and the burner is lit. Repeat previous step
several times until the burner is lit.
• If burner fails to ignite after following above
procedure, turn the knob to the off position.
Close the gas valve on the gas bottle. Wait
5 minutes. Reattempt all of the above steps.
If the barbecue still fails to light, please refer
to the manual ignition instructions below.
• After ignition, turn the burner to the low
position for 3-5 minutes in order to pre-heat
the barbecue. This should be done before
each cooking session. The hood or lid
should be open during preheating.
• After completion of preheating, keep the
burner at the low position for best cooking
results.
Manual Ignition Instructions
• Open the barbecue hood or lid before
lighting. Never light your barbecue with the
hood or lid closed.
• Ensure all knob is in the off position. Open
the gas control valve on the gas bottle or
regulator.
• Push and turn the control knob anti-
clockwise to the high position, taking care to
protect yourself from the flames.
• If burner fails to ignite, contact your local
dealer for assistance.

12
• After ignition, turn the burner to the low
position for 3-5 minutes in order to pre-heat
the barbecue. This should be done before
each cooking session. The hood or lid
should be open during preheating.
• After completion of preheating, keep the
burner at the low position for best cooking
results.
Grill Cooking
The burner heat up the flame tamer underneath
the grill, which in turn heats the food on the grill.
The natural food juices produced during
cooking fall onto the hot flame tamer below and
vaporise. The subsequent rising smoke bastes
the food, as it travels upwards, imparting that
unique barbecued flavour.
Griddle Plate Cooking
The burner heat the griddle plate directly, which
then cooks the food on contact. Griddle plates
allow for the cooking of smaller items, such as
seafood, which could fall through the spaces of
a grill. They are also suitable for cooking items
that require high-temperature/short-duration
cooking, such as vegetables and smaller cuts of
fish. Similarly, it can be used in exactly the
same way as a griddle in the kitchen, for
searing steaks, cooking eggs, etc. Alternatively,
it can be used for heating pans or keeping food
warm.
Flare-Up Control *Very Important Notice*
Flare-ups occur when meat is barbecued, and
its fat and juices fall upon the hot flame tamer.
Smoke of course helps give food its barbecued
flavour, but it is best to avoid excessive flare-up
to prevent food being burned. To control flare-
ups, it is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to trim
away excess fat from meat and poultry before
grilling, use cooking sauces and marinades
sparingly and try to avoid very cheap cuts of
meat or meat products as these tend to have a
high fat and water content.
When flare-ups do occur, they can usually be
extinguished by applying baking soda or salt
directly onto the flame tamer. Always protect
your hands when handling anything near the
cooking surface of the barbecue and take care
to protect yourself from the flames.
If a fat fire occurs, please see the instructions
given below.
Fat Fires
Empty and clean the 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 cup and clean it out. The time between
cleaning may need to be reduced if very fatty
foods or cheap meat products are being
cooked. Failure to do this may result in a fat fire,
which may cause injury and could seriously
damage the barbecue.
In the event of a fat fire:
• If safe to do so, turn all control knobs to the
‘off’ position.
• Turn off the gas supply at the gas bottle.
• Keep everyone at a safe distance from the
barbecue and wait until the fire has burnt
out.
• Do not close the hood or lid of the barbecue.
• NEVER DOUSE A BARBECUE WITH
WATER. IF AN EXTINGUISHER IS USED,
IT SHOULD BE A POWDER TYPE.
• DO NOT REMOVE THE GREASE CUP.
• If the fire does not seem to be abating or
appears to be worsening, contact your local
Fire Brigade for assistance.
End of Cooking Session
After each cooking session, turn the barbecue
burner to the “low” 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.
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 supply at
the bottle.
Wait until the barbecue is sufficiently cool
before closing its hood or lid.
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.
nNever handle hot parts with unprotected
hands.
nNever douse the barbecue with water when
its surfaces are hot.

13
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 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. It is possible for mould to
grow on any fat remaining on parts of the
barbecue. This should be cleaned off smooth
surfaces with hot soapy water.
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.
Cooking Surfaces
When the barbecue has cooled, clean with hot
soapy water. To remove any food residue, use
a mild cream cleaner on a non-abrasive pad.
Do not use scouring pads or powders as they
can permanently damage the finish. Rinse well
and dry thoroughly. Due to the weight of the
cooking surfaces, we do not recommend
cleaning in a dishwasher.
It is quite normal for surface rust to be present
on the cooking surface. If rust appears between
uses or in storage, clean with a soft brass wire
brush. Be careful not to damage the cooking
surface, re-oil and cure.
Burner
Provided that they are operating correctly, in
normal usage, burning off the residue after
cooking will keep the burner clean.
The burner 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 burner. Use a pipe
cleaner to clear obstructions.
When refitting the burner, be careful to check
that the neck of the burner fits over the valve
outlet.
It is quite normal for surface rust to be present
on the burner. If rust appears between uses or
in storage, clean with a soft brass wire brush.
Flame Tamer
Remove any food residue from the flame tamer
surface with a plastic or wooden scraper or
brass wire brush. Do not use a steel scraper or
wire brush. Clean with hot soapy water and
rinse well.
Grease Cup
After every use, empty and clean the grease
cup of any fat or food particles, using a plastic
or wooden scraper if necessary.
Failure to keep it clean, and excessive build up
can result in a fat fire. This can be hazardous
and severely damage the barbecue. This is not
a fault in the barbecue and is therefore not
covered by the terms of the warranty. If
required, the cup can be washed in hot soapy
water.
Barbecue Body
Regularly remove excess grease or fat from the
barbecue body using a cloth wrung out in hot
soapy water and dry thoroughly. Excess fat and
food debris can be removed from inside the
body using a soft plastic or wooden 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 nylon-bristled brush
only. Do not use abrasives. Remove cooking
surfaces and burner before full cleaning. Do not
immerse the gas controls or manifold in water.
Check burner operation after carefully refitting
into body.
Barbecue Hood or Lid & Trolley
Use a non-abrasive cloth or pad and clean with
hot, soapy water. Do not use scouring pads or
powders as they can permanently damage the
finish.
Fixings
All screws and bolts, etc. should be checked
and tightened on a regular basis.
Storage
Ensure the barbecue is properly cooled before
covering or storing. Store your barbecue in a
cool dry place.
Cover the burner with aluminium foil in order to
prevent insects or other debris from collecting in
burner holes.
If the barbecue is to be stored indoors, the gas

14
bottle must be disconnected and left outside.
The gas bottle should always be stored outside,
in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from any
sources of heat or ignition. Do not let children
tamper with the bottle.
When using the barbecue after extended
periods of storage follow the cleaning
procedures.
