Failure to follow the manual’s instructions could result in serious injury or damage.

Modification of the barbecue may be dangerous, is not permitted and will nullify any warranty.

If you have any queries regarding these instructions, contact your local dealer.

7. 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. A spanner may be required to change gas bottles.

Ensure that the gas bottle is placed correctly in the gas bottle holder provided.

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 ISO3821, and the length should not exceed 1.5 metres.

For optimal performance, we suggest using a

13kg or 15kg gas bottle. A suitable regulator must comply with EN12864. YOU MUST HAVE

8. Installation

8.1. 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!

8.2. Precautions

Do not obstruct any ventilation openings in the barbecue body.

Secure the gas bottle on the bottle holder and always tighten it with the black strap provided.

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.

8.3. Connecting a Gas Hose to the Barbecue

Connect the gas hose to the gas rail inlet on the left hand side of the barbecue. Do not overtighten. Do not use any sealing tape, paste or liquid on the connection.

8.4. 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.

9. Operation

9.1.  Warnings

Before proceeding, make certain that you u n d e r s t a n d t h e I M P O R T A N T

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. This is not covered by warranty.

9.2. 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.)

9.3. Lighting the Barbecue

Open the barbecue hood or lid before lighting. Never light your barbecue with the hood or lid closed.

Ensure all knobs are in the off position.

Open the gas control valve on the gas bottle or regulator.

Push and turn the leftmost control knob to the high position. Press the ignition button rapidly several times until left portion of the burner is lit.

If burner fails to ignite after following above procedure, turn all the knobs 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 successful lighting of the left side, turn the rightmost control knob to the high position. The remaining portion of the burner should ignite automatically.

After ignition, turn the burners to the high 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, turn the burner to the low position for best cooking results.

9.4. Manual Ignition Instructions

Open the barbecue hood or lid before lighting. Never light your barbecue with the hood or lid closed.

Ensure all knobs are in the off position.

Open the gas control valve on the gas bottle or regulator.

Insert lit match through the right matchlighting hole on the underside of the

23

barbecue body and place near rightmost burner porthole.

Push and turn the rightmost control knob anti-clockwise to the high position, taking care to protect yourself from the flames.

After the right portion of the burner is lit, light the remaining portion of the burner.

If burner fails to ignite, contact your local dealer for assistance.

After ignition, turn the burners to the high 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, turn all burners to the low position for best cooking results.

9.5. Lighting the Side Burner (Excel 300T)

Push and turn the side burner control knob anticlockwise to the high position. Push the ignitor button rapidly until the side burner ignites. If the side burner fails to ignite, turn the control knob to the OFF position and wait five minutes before attempting to re-light following the above procedure. If the side burner still fails to ignite, turn the control knob off, wait five minutes and light with match.

When using the side-burner, care should be taken to ensure that pans are central and flat on the side-burner grid.

9.6. Grill Cooking

The burners heat up the lava rock underneath the grill, which in turn heats the food on the grill. The natural food juices produced during cooking fall onto the hot lava rock below and vaporise. The subsequent rising smoke bastes the food, as it travels upwards, imparting that unique barbecued flavour.

9.7. Roasting Hood Cooking

Barbecues equipped with a roasting hood give the option to form an ‘oven’ for roasting or baking food, such as joints of meat or whole chickens, etc. More even cooking of food will actually be achieved by using the barbecue with the hood down. However, this should only be done with the burners on low.

For best results, place the food you wish to bake or roast on a metal baking tray and set it on one side of the cooking grill.

When roasting, turn the burner to a LOW to

MEDIUM position.

Close the hood to cook the food ‘indirectly’.

Avoid lifting the hood unnecessarily as heat is lost every time the hood is opened. If the hood is opened during cooking please allow extra time for the barbecue to regain its temperature and complete the cooking. Use the temperature gauge (if applicable) to monitor the heat of the barbecue.

If the internal heat becomes too high, turn the burners down to the low position. It is not necessary or advisable to have all of the burners on high when the hood is closed.

DO NOT ALLOW YOUR BARBECUE TO

OVERHEAT. Take care when opening the hood as hot steam can be released on opening.

9.8. Warming Rack (where supplied)

Warming racks are a convenient way to keep cooked food warm or to warm items such as bread rolls. It is advisable to place food

(particularly fatty foods) to the front of the warming rack to avoid the possibility of juices and fat running down the back of your barbecue. Always check that your warming rack is properly fitted before use.

9.9. Flare-Up Control

*** Very Important Notice ***

Flare-ups occur when meat is barbecued, and its fat and juices fall upon the hot lava rock.

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 flareups, 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. Also, the burners should always be placed on the low setting during cooking. When flare-ups do occur, they can usually be extinguished by applying baking soda or salt directly onto the lava rock. 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.

9.10. Fat Fires

Empty and clean the grease cup of food debris

24

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.

9.11. 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.

9.12. 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.

10. 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. hands.

Never douse the barbecue with water when its surfaces are hot.

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. 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. Chrome plated warming racks etc. should be coated with cooking oil.

A chrome cleaner may be used on chrome parts if required. To prevent rusting, wipe chrome plated warming racks etc. with cooking oil after rinsing and drying.

10.1. Cooking Surfaces & Warming Rack

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.

10.2. Burner

Your burner has 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 debris or insects in the burner portholes or venturi tubes. 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, and if safe to do

so, the gas should be immediately turned off at the bottle.

Burner should be inspected, removed and cleaned on a regular basis, at least annually, in addition to the following conditions:

1) Bringing the barbecue out of storage.

2) One or more of the burners do not ignite.

3) The burner flame pattern is significantly yellow.

4) The gas ignites behind the control panel.

5) When heavy build up is found.

Provided that they are operating correctly, in normal usage, burning off the residue after cooking will keep the burners clean.

To clean a burner fully, remove it from the barbecue. A soft wire brush can be used to remove corrosion from the burner surfaces.

Use a pipe cleaner or piece of wire to clear obstructions in the burner portholes and venturi tubes, taking care not to enlarge the portholes.

Clean the insect screen on the end of the venturi tube with a bristle brush (i.e. an old toothbrush).

You may need a torch to see into the venturi tube to make sure it is clear. Turn the burner up on end and lightly tap against a hard surface like a piece of wood, to dislodge any debris from inside.

When refitting the burner, be careful to check that the venturi tubes of the burner fit over the valve outlets.

10.3. Lava Rock

It is not necessary to remove and wash the lava rock in order to keep it clean. Burning off the residue for 3 to 5 minutes after each cooking session should be sufficient. Heavily impregnated lava rock should be turned over so that the dirty side faces the burners in order to burn off any residue. Replacement lava rock is available from your local Outback® stockist.

10.4. 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.

10.5. 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 burners before full cleaning. Do not immerse the gas controls or manifold in water. Check burner operation after carefully refitting into body.

10.6. 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.

10.7. Fixings

All screws and bolts, etc. should be checked and tightened on a regular basis.

10.8. Storage

Ensure the barbecue is properly cooled before covering or storing. Store your barbecue in a cool dry place.

Cover the burners 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 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.
