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.
