Leveling the Outdoor Stove
For safe operation, your outdoor stove must be level. If your outdoor surface
is slightly out of level, use the adjustable feet at the bottom of each leg to
correct. Turning the adjustable feet counterclockwise will raise the leg and
clockwise will lower.
Lighting Instructions
When lighting, keep your face and body as far away from burners as possible
and never lean over the outdoor stove surface. If the outdoor stove does not
light immediately or goes out during operation, turn all burner knobs to the
OFF position and wait 5 minutes for the gas to clear before attempting to
relight. Failure to do so may result in an explosive flare-up, which can cause
serious bodily injury or death.
After achieving successful lighting and prior to first use, allow the outdoor
stove to run on HI for
at least 15 minutes. This process will ensure no performance issues and allow
the outdoor stove to self-clean and sanitize.
Main Burners
Your Char-Griller® outdoor stove is equipped with three (3) individual cast
aluminum burners. Each is controlled and lit by their own individual knob and
integrated ignition.
- Make sure all burner knobs are in the OFF position.
- Open the valve on the LP cylinder by turning the wheel counterclockwise.
- To ignite a burner, push in and rotate knob counterclockwise towards “HI” until you hear a loud click and the burner ignites. If the burner does not light immediately, turn the burner OFF, wait 5 minutes for the gas to clear, and repeat Step 3.
- Repeat for all desired burners. Light-only burners intended for use.
- Adjust knobs to the desired cooking setting.
After lighting, observe the burner flame and make sure all burner ports are lit.
Shutting off Burners
- Turn knob(s) clockwise to LOW position, then push in and turn to OFF. Never force the knob without pushing in, as this can damage the valve and knob.
- Promptly close the LP cylinder valve by turning the wheel clockwise.
Lighting Burner with a Match
- Make sure all burner knobs are in the OFF position.
- Open valve on LP cylinder.
- Locate the ignition chain on the side of the outdoor stove and install a match. Light match.
- Push in and rotate the knob counterclockwise to the “HI” position.
- Using the ignition chain, place the flame though the outdoor stove grate near the burner ports. The burner should light immediately.
- Adjust knobs to desired cooking settings.
- If the burner does not light immediately, turn the burner OFF, wait 5 minutes for the gas to clear, and repeat starting at Step 3.
Adjusting The Flame Using Air-to-Gas Ratio
Your outdoor stove requires the right amount of air to gas flow for even
heating. Set correctly, the burner flame will be BLUE.
NOTE: A touch of orange/yellow at the flame tips is fine. Flame adjusters
are used to regulate the airflow. Typically, higher temperatures require the
flame adjusters to be more open while with lower temperatures they will be
more closed. Adjust as necessary.
FULLY OPEN
Light the outdoor stove and set the burner to “HI”. If the flame is very
yellow or not consistent, the flame adjuster needs to be opened to allow MORE
air to reach the burner.
PARTIALLY CLOSED
Light the outdoor stove and set the burner midway between “HI” and “LOW”. If
the flame is yellow or not consistent, the flame adjuster needs to be
partially closed to allow LESS air to reach the burner.
FULLY CLOSED
Light the outdoor stove and set the burner to “LOW”. If the flame is yellow or
sputtering, the flame adjuster needs to be fully closed to allow not allow ANY
air to reach the burner.
Observe Flame
Height When Lit
The flame should be blue and yellow in color and approximately 1/2 in. – 1 in.
(1.2 cm – 2.54 cm) tall on HI setting.
Temperature Management
Manage desired heat for cooking by adjusting burner knobs from LOW to HI.
Weather conditions may cause heat fluctuations and require more heat in cold
and/or windy conditions. Different types and amounts of food will also impact
your temperature management and distribution. Being aware of all elements will
help ensure optimal gas appliance performance and desired cooking results.
Disconnecting the LP Cylinder
- Turn all control knobs to the OFF position.
- Turn the wheel on the LP cylinder clockwise until it stops.
- Turn the coupling nut on the regulator in a counterclockwise direction until the regulator is released from the threaded LP cylinder valve nozzle.
- Place the protective cap over the LP cylinder gas nozzle.
LP Cylinder
The LP cylinder should not be dropped or handled roughly! If the appliance is
not in use, it is recommended to disconnect the LP cylinder. Replace the
protective cap on the LP cylinder after disconnecting the LP cylinder from the
appliance.
LP cylinders must be stored outdoors in an upright position and out of the
reach of children. The LP cylinder must never be stored where temperatures can
reach or exceed 122°F (50° C). Do not
store the LP cylinder near flames, pilot lights or other sources of ignition.
DO NOT SMOKE NEAR
AN LP CYLINDER.
Again, this outdoor stove is designed for outdoor use only and away from any
flammable materials. Ensure there are no overhead obstructions and no
objects/barriers are within 36 inches (90 cm) of the outdoor stove.
