Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing your empty LP cylinder through an exchange service. Use only those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill, test and certify their cylinders. Exchange your cylinder only for an OPD safety feature-equipped cylinder as described in the “LP Cylinder” section of this manual.
Always keep new and exchanged LP cylinders in upright position during use, transit or storage,
Leak test new and exchanged LP cylinders BEFORE connecting to grill.
Place safety cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of safety cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

LP Cylinder Leak Test

For your safety

Leak test must be repeated each time LP cylinder is exchanged or refilled.
Do not smoke during the leak test.
Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources such as gas-fired or electrical appliances.
During the leak test, keep the grill away from open flames or sparks.
Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and water solution.
Brush the soapy solution onto areas indicated by arrows in the figure below.
Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to gas train components can result.

WARNING

If “growing” bubbles appear, do not use or move the LP cylinder. Contact an LP gas supplier or your fire department!

DANGER

Do not insert any tool or foreign object into the valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage the valve and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in an explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.

Storing Your Grill
Glean cooking grates,
When the LP cylinder is connected to the drill, store it outdoors in a well-ventilated space and out of reach of children.
Cover the grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill covers offered by Char-Broil at charbroil.com.
Store the grill indoors ONLY if the LP cylinder is turned off and disconnected, removed from the grill, and stored outdoors.
When removing the grill from storage, follow the “Cleaning the Burner Assembly” instructions before starting the grill.

CAUTION SPIDER ALERT!

If your grill is getting hard to light or the flame is weak, check and clean the venturis and burners.
Spiders or small insects are known to create “flashback” problems by building nests and laying eggs in the grill’s venturi or burner, obstructing the flow of gas. The backup gas can ignite behind the control panel. This flashback can damage your grill and cause injury. To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and venturi tube assembly should be removed and cleaned whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.

General Grill Cleaning

Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with a scrub brush on the insides of the grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers, or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
Porcelain surfaces: Because of their glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or specially formulated cleaner.
Use nonabrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.
Painted surfaces: Wash with a mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill’s high-quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in the direction of the brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use an abrasive pad on areas with graphics.
Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces before grilling. It is NOT recommended to clean cooking surfaces while the grill is hot.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly

Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of the burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting the grill.

1. Turn the gas off at the control knobs and LP cylinder.
Remove cooking grates and heat tents.
Remove carryover tubes and hardware securing burners.
Detach the electrode from the burner.
- NOTE: Removal/Detachment method will depend on the burner configuration.
- See different configurations in the illustrations below.
Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
- We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one easiest for you.
- (A) Bend a stiff wire (a lightweight coat hanger works well) into a small hook.
- Run the hook through each burner tube several times.
- (B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not use a brass wire brush). Run the brush through each burner tube several times.
- (C ) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out of each hole.
Wire brush the entire outer surface of the burner to remove food residue and dirt.
Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.
Check the burner for damage due to normal wear and corrosion, some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found, replace the burner.
- VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve openings. See illustrations at right.
- Correct burner-to-valve engagement
Attach electrode to burner.
Carefully replace burners.
Attach burners to brackets on the firebox.
Reposition carryover tubes and attach them to burners. Replace heat tents and cooking grates.
Before cooking again on the grill, perform a “Leak Test” and “Burner Flame Check”.

PARTS DIAGRAM

NOTE: Some grill parts shown in the assembly steps may differ slightly in appearance from those on your particular grill model. However, the method of assembly remains the same.

HARDWARE LIST

ASSEMBLY

NOTE: DO NOT over-tighten screws and washers that come into contact with porcelain-coated surfaces. Over-tightening may cause the porcelain coating to crack and break, resulting in exposed metal that will be prone to TUST.

GRILLING GUIDE – Getting Started

First Time Use

Read your Assembly Manual and ensure the grill is put together properly. Remove all Point-of-Purchase advertising material from all grill surfaces before first use.
We recommend operating your grill on its highest setting for 15-20 minutes prior to your first use. This aids in removing the oils used during manufacturing.

Lava Rock / Briquettes

This gas grill has been designed, engineered, and tested to be used with heat tents to provide more even heating, improve the cleaning process, and reduce flare-ups.
The addition of after-market lava rocks, charcoal, or briquettes of any type will cause poor combustion and increase the likelihood of a grease fire and is not recommended.
Using briquettes, lava rock, or charcoal in this grill will void your warranty. For extra smoke flavor, we recommend using a smoker box with wood chips

Temperature

The temperature gauge in the hood of your new gril measures air temperature. The air temperature inside your grill will never be as hot as the temperature at the cooking surface.
This gauge is calibrated to give a close indication of the grate temperature.
Note: Since 1996, all regulators (the part that attaches to the gas tank to regulate the flew of gas) have included a safety feature that restricts gas flow in the event of a gas leak. You can inadvertendy activate this safety feature without having a gas leak. This typically ours when you tum on the gas using the grill control knob before you tum on the LP tank valve. If the gas regulator safety feature activates, the grill will only reach temperatures between 250°F and 300*F even with all burners on the setting

If your grill is not getting hotter than 250*F to 300°F these steps should be taken first to reset the gas regulator safety device:

Open the grill lid.
Turn off all knots on the control panel in front.
Turn off the tank knob.
Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank
Wait 30 seconds,
Reconnect the regulator to the LP tank
Slowly open the LP tank kncb all the way. Do not put excessive force on the valve at the fully open position to avoid damaging the valve.
Turn on the appropriate control kneb and light the gill per the instructions.
An illustration of this process is included in this Product Guide. See the Troubleshooting section for additional information.

Pre-Heating Your Grill

Just like your home oven, your grill should be pre-heated to provide optimum performance
Pre-heat the grill on high for 10-15 minutes – longer if weather conditions require. Please refer to the lighting instructions inside the Product Guide if you have questions about how to light your grill. A match-light chain and hole are provided for your convenience.
Outbor grilling is really quite simple You’ll succeed with burgers and dogs. or steaks usually on your very first try. With experience, you will learn how to work with your grill, creating more imaginative meals all the time. This knowledge makes up the art of grilling. Before you start gilling organize your food according to cooking technique and required cooking time, and optimize the use of your grilling area

Direct Cooking

Direct cocking involves giving your meat directly over high heat. It is perfect for searing steaks, chops, and other smaller pieces of meat and vegetables that quickly make their way to the table.

Indirect Cooking

Interest cocking utilizes select burners to circulate heat throughout the grill. without direct contact between the meat and the flame. The meat is placed over the burner that is ‘off.
This method is generally used to slow-cook large cuts of meat and poultry. A pan can be placed underneath the meat to catch grease and food drippings and helps minimize clean-up.

Rotisserie Cooking

Rotisserie cooking is best for hound” meat, such as large roasts, whole poultry, and pork. it generally requires an accessory motor and spit rod that allows the meat to be turned at a constant speed.
Ratisserie cocking is best done in front of a special rotisserie burner. ar using an indirect cooking burner arrangement. A pan can be placed underneath the meat to catch grease and food drippings and helps minimize clean-up.

Food Safety

Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor cooking experience. To keep food sales from harmful bacteria, follow these four basic steps:
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hat soapy water before and after handling raw TReat
Separate: Separate raw meats from ready-to-eat foods to avoid cross-contamination. Use a clean platter and utensils when removing cooked foods.
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.
Cooking on your new grill is a hands-on experience, and it is recommended to remain outside with your grill while cooking. Grilling can be affected by many external conditions.
In cold weather, you will need more heat to reach an ideal cooking temperature, and grilling may take longer. The meat’s internal temperature and thickness can also affect cooking times. Cold and thicker meats will take longer to cook.

GRILLING GUIDE – Tips & Tricks

Sauces

Sauces containing sugars and fats can cause flare-ups, and your food may burn. In general, apply these sauces during the final 5 minutes of cooking. Keep in mind, the use of excessive sauces or glazes will also require extra cleaning afterwards.

Marinades and Rubs

Wood Chips

Reduce heat to the desired temperature for cooking, and place food on the cooking grate as desired.
Close id to retain more smoke. Hardwood varieties that work particularly well with grilled foods include Alder, Apple, Cherry, Hickory, Mesquite, and Pecan.
