Before connecting the hose, ensure that there is no debris caught in the head
of the LP cylinder, regulator, burner, and burner ports. Spiders and insects
can nest within and clog the burner at the orifice. Clogged burner tubes can
result in fire and severely damage the outdoor stove.
Clean burner holes with a heavy-duty pipe cleaner.
If the hose is replaced it must be secured to the outdoor stove and regulator
connections with hose clips. Disconnect the regulator from the cylinder
(according to the directions supplied with the regulator) when the outdoor
stove is not in use.
The outdoor stove must be used in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT obstruct the
flow of combustion air to the burner when in use. ONLY USE THIS APPLIANCE
OUTDOORS.
Connecting the Gas Cylinder to the Outdoor Stove
This outdoor stove is only suited for use with low-pressure propane gas fitted with the appropriate low-pressure regulator via a flexible hose. The hose should be secured to the regulator and the outdoor stove with hose clips. WARNING: Position the LP cylinder at a minimum distance of 10” (25.4 cm) from the outdoor stove so as to avoid a tipping hazard.
-
Ensure all control knobs are in the OFF position.
-
Verify that the LP cylinder valve is closed by turning the handle on the LP cylinder valve clockwise until it stops.
-
Remove the protective cap from the LP cylinder valve nozzle.
-
Hold the regulator in a straight line with the LP cylinder valve nozzle so the connection does not cross thread.
-
Insert regulator nipple into the LP cylinder valve nozzle opening.
-
Hand-tighten coupling nut in a clockwise direction.
Do not use tools! -
Perform a Leak Test. (See Leak Testing section of this manual).
BEFORE USE CHECK FOR LEAKS
Never check for leaks with a naked eye. Always use a soapy water solution.
NOTE: Before starting the stove, check for leaks. To prevent a fire or an
explosion hazard when testing for a leak, ensure the regulator valve is
securely fastened to the burner and the LP cylinder.
Always perform the “Leak Test” as described below before lighting the outdoor
stove or each time the LP cylinder is connected for use.
- DO NOT smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.
- Conduct leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
- DO NOT use matches, lighters, or a flame to check for leaks.
- DO NOT use outdoor stove until any and all leaks are corrected. If leak persists, disconnect propane supply and call Customer Service at 1-912-638-4724, or contact your local gas appliance service/supplier.
Leak Test
-
In a spray bottle mix 1-2 Tbsp (15-30mL) solution, 1 part dish washing soap, 3 parts water.
-
Ensure control valves/burner knobs are in the OFF position and the regulator is securely connected.
-
Open LP cylinder valve completely by turning wheel counterclockwise.
-
Apply the solution to the hose, gas valve, regulator, and LP cylinder.
-
If bubbles form and grow on any of the tested components, there is a leak in the component.
No bubbles mean no leaks. -
If a leak has been identified, please re-secure/tighten all components and retest starting with steps 2-5. If leak persists, disconnect LP cylinder and call Char-Griller® Customer Service at 1-912-638-4724, or contact your local gas appliance service/supplier.
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 outdoor stove surface. If outdoor stove does not light
immediately or goes out during operation, turn all burner knobs to the OFF
position and wait 5 minutes for 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 a 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 OFF position.
- Open valve on LP cylinder by turning 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 burner does not light immediately, turn burner OFF, wait 5 minutes for gas to clear and repeat Step 3.
- Repeat for all desired burners. Light only burners intended for use.
- Adjust knobs to desired cooking setting.
After lighting, observe 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 knob without pushing in, as this can damage valve and knob.
- Promptly close LP cylinder valve by turning wheel clockwise.
Lighting Burner with a Match
- Make sure all burner knobs are in OFF position.
- Open valve on LP cylinder.
- Locate match holder on the side of the outdoor stove and install match. Light match.
- Push in and rotate knob counterclockwise to “HI” position.
- Using match holder, place flame though outdoor stove grate near burner ports. Burner should light immediately.
- Adjust knobs to desired cooking settings.
- If burner does not light immediately, turn burner OFF, wait 5 minutes for 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 air flow.
Typically, higher temperature require the flame adjusters to be more open
while with lower temperatures they will be more closed. Adjust as necessary.
Observe Flame Height When Lit
Flame should be blue and yellow in color and approximately 1/2 in. – 1 in.
(1.2 cm – 2.54 cm) tall onHI 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 coupling nut on regulator in a counterclockwise direction until the regulator is released from the threaded LP cylinder valve nozzle.
- Place the protective cap over 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.
Ventilation openings of the outdoor stove should not be obstructed at any
time. The outdoor stove must be used on a level, stable surface, positioned
away from direct drafts and protected against water exposure (e.g. rain).
Parts sealed by the manufacturer or its agent must not be altered by the user.
No modifications should be made to any part of this outdoor stove. Repairs and
maintenance should only be carried out by a registered service engineer or
technician.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
When you are finished cooking, turn off all burners and allow to cool.
When performing cleaning and maintenance of the burners, always ensure burner
ports are properly aligned with valve openings after reinstalling on the
outdoor stove. See figure for correct alignment. Once cool, clean your outdoor
stove with a rag, soap and water. To protect and prevent rust, lightly coat
