Turning Off Your Barbecue
When you have fi nished 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 suffi ciently cool before closing its hood.
Regularly clean your barbecue between uses and especially after extended periods of storage. Ensure the
barbecue and its components are suffi ciently cool before cleaning. Do not leave the barbecue exposed to
outside weather conditions or stored in damp, moist areas.
• Never handle hot parts with unprotected 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.
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.
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 fi nish. 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
burners clean.
The burners 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
burners. Use a pipe cleaner to clear obstructions.
When refi tting the burners, be careful to check that the neck of the burner fi ts over the valve outlet.
It is quite normal for surface rust to be present on the burners. If rust appears between uses or in storage,
clean with a soft brass wire brush.
Flame Tamer
Remove any food residue from the fl ame 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.
