Specifications
Barbecue specifications can be found on the data label attached to the
barbecue.
Gas Cylinder Use & Safety
This is a low pressure barbecue and must only be used with the hose
and regulator supplied.
Your barbecue is designed for use with 4.5 kg or 9 kg gas cylinders.
The gas cylinder should be filled by a reputable gas supplier and
visually inspected and re-qualified at each filling. Always keep cylinder
in an upright position. Always close the cylinder valve when the
barbecue is not in use. Do not subject gas cylinder to excessive heat.
Never Store your Gas Cylinder Indoors
If you store your barbecue indoors, ALWAYS disconnect the gas
cylinder first and store the cylinder safely outside. Cylinders must be
stored outdoors in a well ventilated area out of reach of children, and
must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
Nominal Hourly Gas Consumption
Gas Installation Codes
Australian Gas Association Approval Number 6434.
Barbecues must be used in accordance with the installation requirements
of your gas supply authority, or the appropriate installation code issued by
the Australian Gas Association and the Australian Petroleum Gas
Association.
Barbecues for use with bottled gas are labelled «propane gas».
Check the gas type sticker attached to the barbecue.
Check that the label matches the gas type for the area in which it is to be
installed.
Clearances
Minimum clearances from combustible materials must be:
Rear – 300 mm (12") & Sides – 300 mm (12").
Hose & Regulator Safety
The regulator and hose assembly supplied with the barbecue are
suitable for liquified petroleum gas (LPG) only.
A gas regulator adjusted to have an outlet pressure of 2.75 kPA is
supplied for connection to the gas cylinder. The pressure regulator and
hose assembly supplied with the barbecue must be used. Replacement
pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by
the barbecue manufacturer.
When connecting the hose and regulator assembly to the gas cylinder,
take care to avoid unnecessary twisting of the flexible hose. After the
assembly has been secured, turn on the gas and check for leaks by
brushing a soap and water solution over all connections.
If you are unable to correct the leak by tightening the connections, turn
off the gas and contact the supplier immediately. Always ensure the
barbecue is kept away from flammable materials and the gas cylinder
clear of any heat source.
When changing over from an empty gas cylinder to a full one make sure
this procedure is carried out in a flame free atmosphere.

b) Obstruction in gas hose (No gas in burner or too less heat):
CORRECTION: Remove hose from barbecue. DO NOT SMOKE!
Open gas supply for one second to blow any obstruction from
hose. Close off gas supply at source and re-connect hose to
barbecue.
c) Blocked orifice (No gas in burner or too less heat):
CORRECTION: Remove burner from the barbecue body. Remove
the orifice and clear any obstruction with a fine wire. Re-install
orifice and re-install burner over orifice.
d) Misalignment of ignitor on burner (No spark):
CORRECTION: Check for proper position of electrode tip. The gap
between the spark electrode and the burner should be 5–8 mm.
Adjust if necessary.
1. Ensure that the battery is inserted properly.
2. Make sure the wire is plugged in the electric ignition and in the
electrode and that they both are sitting tight.
3. Insert a new battery (typ AAA (LR03) 1.5 Volt) in the electric ignition.
If re-ignition is necessary while the gas barbecue is still hot, you must
wait for a minimum of 5 minutes before commencing to re-ignite (this
allows accumulated gas fumes to clear).
Leak Test
1. Check that the control knob is turned «OFF».
2. Turn the gas cylinder and check all gas connections by brushing on a
50/50 solution of liquid soap and water onto gas delivery system.
3. Look for bubbles or blowing in the soap solution which indicate that
a leak is present.
4. The leak(s) must be stopped by tightening the joints, if possible, or
by replacing the faulty parts recommended by the barbecue
distributor.
5. Repeat items 1 and 2.
6. Contact your dealer if leaks persist.
Cleaning
Very little cleaning is required between uses as most of the fat is either
vapourised or drained into the basting pan. However, if greasy deposits
are allowed to build up on the Funnel (Baffle) flare-ups may occur.
After every use: With the cooking grill in position use a brass bristle
barbecue brush to clean the surface of the grill. Occasionally remove
the grill and scrape any built up greasy deposits down the Funnel
(Baffle) and into the drip pan for easy disposal. For more thorough
cleaning (e.g. if you plan to make gravy or baste) use a nylon sponge
and soapy water to remove all loose deposits from the grill and Funnel
(Baffle).
5. When connecting regulator assembly to the cylinder valve and the
barbecue, tighten nut to a positive stop by hand or spanner
depending on the type of fitting.
6. Open cylinder valve fully. Use a soapy water solution to check all
connections for leaks before attempting to light barbecue. If a leak
is found, turn cylinder valve off and do not use barbecue until
repairs can be made.
CAUTION: When the appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off
at the cylinder.
Disconnecting
1. Ensure the burner control is in «OFF»
position.
2. Ensure gas cylinder valve is in its full off
position.
3. Detach the regulator assembly from gas
cylinder valve.

Check performance of burner prior to installing barbecue
componentry.
Do not smoke when attempting to ignite barbecue.
Never use volcanic rock, heatbeads or other material.
Always use protective gloves when handling any hot
components.
NOTE: If for some reason the ignitor fails to produce a spark
at the electrode, barbecue can be lit carefully with a 100 mm
match. To light barbecue with a match insert lighted match
or long-necked butane lighter through hole located on
either side of kettle bowl, then turn control knob anti-
clockwise to the on position.
2. Open gas supply at gas cylinder.
3. Remove lid. CAUTION: Never ignite the grill with the lid closed.

5. If the gas does not inflame after 3 seconds, turn gas control knob to
Off, wait 2 minutes so that non-burned gas can evaporate. Then
repeat stage 4.
6. If the grill does not ignite after 3 tries, please see chapter «trouble
shooting» to find the problem and resolution.
If the Barbecue Fails to Operate Properly
1. Turn off gas at source, turn burner control to «OFF».
2. Wait five minutes before trying again.
3. Check gas supply/connections.
4. Repeat lighting procedure and if barbecue still fails to operate
properly, TURN OFF GAS AT SOURCE, TURN BURNER CONTROL
TO «OFF», wait for barbecue to cool and check the following:
a) Burner Flame:
Inspect the burner flame by looking through the match lighting
holes. A good flame should be blue with some yellow tip coming
from the burner holes. Some yellow tips on flames up to 1/4“
length are acceptable as long as no carbon or soot deposits
appear.
Checking the burner flame the left drawing shows what a good
flame will look like. The right drawing is an example of a bad flame.
If flames are excessively yellow and irregular, the oil residue may not
be completely burnt off.
After a barbecue has been in use for a while it may begin to have a
more yellow flame. Check for clogged burner holes or blocked
venturi tubes.
Regular use of your barbecue will actually help keep it operating
more smoothly. It is not unusual for similar units to heat a little
differently.
WARNING: Do not use or permit sources of ignition in the
area while doing the leak test – this includes smoking! Never
test for gas leaks with a lighted match or open flame! Always
check for leaks outdoors.
IMPORTANT! The barbecue must not be used until leak(s) is
corrected. Shut off the gas cylinder.
NOTE: Conduct a leak test each time the gas supply is
connected or replaced and every year when using your
barbecue for the first time in the barbecue season.

Preheat on for 10–15 minutes. Place the prepared pizza on the
pizza stone (not for City Grill) or pizza plate (optional accessory). Lift the
lid – and place the appropriate accessory on to the grill. Replace lid
immediately.
The Funnel (Baffle) can also be inverted and used to concentrate all of
the heat onto the base of the universal pan or cast iron griddle. This
makes the Funnel System the ultimate in versatility and turns the
OUTDOORCHEF kettle barbecue into a complete outdoor cooking
system, capable of roasting, baking pizzas, stir frying, cooking
paella/risotto, griddling and much more.
Wok (not for City Grill)
Funnel: Inverted position
Grill: Remove. Place wok support over Funnel.
Place wok inside.
Lid: Off
The optional wok and wok support is an excellent accessory for cooking
Chinese and other Far Eastern dishes. Lightly oil the wok. Place the wok
support supplied together with the wok on the inverted funnel. Place
the wok inside and preheat on position with lid off.
Griddle
Funnel (Baffle): Inverted position
Grill: Remove and replace with griddle.
Lid: Off
The optional cast iron griddle is an excellent alternative for quickly
searing rare steaks, producing a great traditional English Breakfast and
much more. Lightly oil the cast iron griddle and place it on the inverted
baffle. Preheat on 10 minutes with lid off.
Paella, Risotto & Stir Fry
Funnel (Baffle): Inverted position
Grill: Remove and replace with universal pan
Lid: Off
When in use, try and keep the barbecue sheltered from any wind. Make
sure the optional universal pan is level and then light the burner. Usually
maximum heat will be required to give best results.
Regular maintenance
Regular care of your barbecue will help keep it operating properly.
Inspect the venturi tube at least twice per year and always after long
period of storage: spiders and other insects can cause mixture
obstruction with cobwebs etc. Remove all obstructions. Occasionally
inspect and tighten all hardware as this may become loose if the
barbecue is moved over rough or hard ground.
After a period of non-use (2–3 month) you should perform a leak test
before using the barbecue.
If you are in any doubt contact your gas supplier or the agent
responsible for selling the barbecue. Before storing your barbecue for
the winter lightly grease all exposed metal parts to prevent corrosion.
After winter storage and AT LEAST once more during the season check
the hose for cracking, chaffing, kinking or other damage. A damaged
hose MUST be replaced immediately as described in this manual.
Cooking Instructions
As easy as:
1. Pre-heat for 10 minutes on with the lid on.
2. Place food on the grill, replace the lid and leave until the food is
ready. (Refer to the Barbecue Timechart for guidance on timings)
3. Turn gas control knob to position «OFF» and close gas supply at
cylinder.
To help you get the most from your OUTDOORCHEF we have set out
below all the possible configurations.
The preparation of food has to be adapted to your taste and needs
Barbecuing & Roasting
Funnel (Baffle): Normal position
Grill: Standard position
Lid: On
Lightly oil the grill with cooking oil. Preheat on for 10 minutes
with the lid on, your food is being continuously seared.
There’s no need to turn the food, or use a rotisserie, as the Funnel
Barbecue System cooks food quickly and all the way through by
providing evenly distributed top and bottom heat. Just place food on
the preheated grill, replace the Lid quickly and let the Funnel go to
work (refer to the Funnel Barbecuing Chart or guidance on timings).
Extend barbecuing times by 10 % if the grill is completely covered with
food or in cold weather. When barbecuing small quantities position the
food towards the side of the grill, not in the centre, as the juices will
then fall onto the hotter upper part of the Funnel (Baffle) creating more
smoke and sizzle.
By leaving the lid on, your food is being continuously seared all over,
and will taste better as more of the juices are sealed in. Always leave
some air space around each item being cooked.
Your Outdoor Chef will roast much quicker than a domestic oven. Roast
at approx. 210 °C for the period indicated by the recipe.
Cover the top of large roasts (over 4 kilos) loosely with foil and remove
the foil for the last 45 mins.
Pizza
