Outback Barbecue Care and Maintenance

Charcoal Barbecue Care and Maintenance


Clean your barbecue after use, especially before extended periods of storage. Ensure the barbecue and its components are sufficiently cool before cleaning.


Never douse the barbecue with water when its surfaces are hot.
Never handle hot parts with unprotected hands.

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. A full range of heavy-duty Outback covers is available for all models. Do not leave the barbecue exposed to outside weather conditions or stored in damp, moist areas.

Cooking Griddle and Warming Rack - Clean with hot, soapy water. To remove any food residue, use a mild cream cleaner on a non-abrasive pad. Rinse well and dry thoroughly. We do not recommend cleaning grills in a dishwasher.

Ash Pan - After every use, check the pan for ash or fat build-up on the aluminium foil. Discard the ash and foil, and wash any remaining ash or fat from the pan. Failure to clean thoroughly may cause fat fires. These fires can severely damage your barbecue and are not covered by the warranty.

Barbecue Body - Regularly remove excess grease or fat from the barbecue body with 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. Remove cast iron cooking grills before full cleaning.

Barbecue Hood - 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.

Trolley - Your trolley shelves are manufactured using a hardwood suited to outdoor use, provided it is treated with Teak oil or similar after assembly and on a regular basis thereafter. Hardwood will naturally weather and change its appearance. It is quite natural for small cracks to appear on the surface of the wood.

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