Frequently Asked Questions - Performance T36G5 Char-Broil

How do I convert the oven from natural gas to LP?

Refer to the conversion kit instructions. The oven comes with orifices for natural gas; LP conversion requires different orifices. Ensure gas supply is turned off and consult a professional if unsure.

Why is my oven not heating properly?

Check if the gas supply is on and the igniter is glowing. If the igniter is weak, it may need replacement. Also ensure the oven door is fully closed and the safety valve is operational.

How do I clean the self-cleaning oven?

Remove all racks and any food debris. Close the door, set the oven to self-clean mode, and lock the door. The cycle runs at high temperature, burning off residues. Wipe ashes afterward with a damp cloth.

What is the recommended temperature for baking pizza?

For a crispy crust, preheat to 450-500°F. Use a pizza stone or baking sheet. Check at 10-15 minutes depending on thickness.

How do I replace the oven light bulb?

Ensure oven is cool and power disconnected. Remove the glass cover by turning counterclockwise. Replace with a 40W appliance bulb (120V). Reinstall cover.

Can I use aluminum foil in the oven?

Yes, but avoid covering the oven floor or blocking airflow. Use to line baking sheets or cover food loosely. Do not let foil touch heating elements.

Why does the oven door not close properly?

Check if the hinges are bent or the gasket is damaged. Clean the gasket area. If door sag, adjust hinges or replace them. A warp may require professional service.

How do I set the timer?

Turn the timer knob clockwise to set the desired minutes. The timer will count down and ring when done. Some models have a button to stop the alarm.

What is the convection bake function?

Convection uses a fan to circulate hot air, cooking food faster and more evenly. Reduce oven temperature by 25°F compared to regular bake for best results.

Where can I find the serial number?

The serial number is located on the rating plate inside the oven door or on the back panel. It is needed for warranty and parts ordering.

Check with management to learn the requirements and fire codes for using an LP gas grill in your apartment complex. If allowed, use outside on the ground floor with a three (3) foot clearance from walls or rails. Do not use on or under balconies.

- NEVER attempt to light burner with lid closed. A buildup of non-ignited gas inside a closed grill is hazardous.

- Never operate grill with LP cylinder out of correct position specified in assembly instructions.

- Always close LP cylinder valve and remove coupling nut before moving LP cylinder from specified operation position.

Safety Tips

▲ Before opening LP cylinder valve, check the coupling nut for tightness.

▲ When grill is not in use, turn off all control knobs and LP cylinder valve.

▲ Never move grill while in operation or still hot.

▲ Use long-handled barbecue utensils and oven mitts to avoid burns and splatters.

▲ Maximum load for sideburner and side shelf is 10 lbs.

▲ The grease tray or cup must be installed during use and emptied after each use. Do not remove grease tray or cup until grill has completely cooled.

▲ Clean grill often, preferably after each cookout. If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.

If you notice grease or other hot material dripping from grill onto valve, hose or regulator, turn off gas supply at once. Determine the cause, correct it, then clean and inspect valve, hose and regulator before continuing. Perform a leak test.

▲ Keep ventilation openings in cylinder enclosure (grill cart) free and clear of debris.

Do not store objects or materials inside the grill cart enclosure that would block the flow of combustion air to the underside of either the control panel or the firebox bowl.

▲ The regulator may make a humming or whistling noise during operation. This will not affect safety or use of grill.

▲ If you have a grill problem see the "Troubleshooting Section".

If the regulator frosts, turn off grill and LP cylinder valve immediately. This indicates a problem with the cylinder and it should not be used on any product. Return to supplier!

Ignitor Lighting

Burner Flame Check

- Remove cooking grates and flame tamers. Light burners, rotate knobs from HIGH to LOW. You should see a smaller flame in LOW position than seen on HIGH. Perform burner flame check on sideburner, also. Always check flame prior to each use. If only low flame is seen refer to "Sudden drop or low flame" in the Troubleshooting Section.

Turning Grill Off

- Turn all knobs to the OFF position. Turn LP cylinder OFF by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop.

Ignitor Check

- Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Press and hold electronic ignitor button. "Click" should be heard and spark seen each time between each collector box or burner and electrode. See "Troubleshooting" if no click or spark.

Valve Check

- Important: Make sure gas is off at LP cylinder before checking valves. Knobs lock in OFFition. To check valves, first push in knobs and release, knobs should spring back. If knobs do not spring back, replace valve assembly before using grill. Turn knobs to LOW position then turn back to OFF position. Valves should turn smoothly.

Hose Check

- Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn or kinked. Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use only valve/hose/regulator specified by manufacturer.

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 scrub brush on insides of 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. s 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 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 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 direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use 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 prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.

CAUTION

SPIDER ALERT!

If your barbeque 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 barbeque's venturi or burner obstructing the flow of gas. The backed-up gas can ignite behind the control panel. This flashback can damage your barbeque and cause injury. To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance, the burner and venturi tube assembly should be removed and cleaned whenever the barbeque has been idle for an extended period of time.

Storing Your Grill

• Clean cooking grates.
• Store in dry location.
• When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a well-ventilated space and out of reach of children.
• Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill covers offered by manufacturers.
• Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors.
• When removing grill from storage, follow "Cleaning the Burner Assembly" instructions before starting grill.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly

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

1. Turn gas OFF at control knobs and LP cylinder.

2. Remove cooking grates and flame tamers.

3. Remove carryover tubes and burners.

4. Detach electrode from burner.

NOTE: Removal/Detachment method will depend on the burner configuration. See different configurations in illustrations below.

1. 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 light weight 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 each hole.

1. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt.

2. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.

3. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.

VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve openings. See illustrations at right.

1. Attach electrode to burner.
2. Carefully replace burners.
3. Attach burners to brackets on firebox.
4. Reposition carryover tubes and attach to burners. Replace flame tamers and cooking grates.

Persistent grease fire.	Grease trapped by food buildup around burner system.	Turn knobs to OFF. Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Leave lid in position and let fire burn out. After grill cools, remove and clean all parts.
Flashback...(fire in burner tube(s)).	Burner and/or burner tubes are blocked.	Turn knobs to OFF. Clean burner and/or burner tubes. See burner cleaning section of Use and Care.
Unable to fill LP cylinder.	Some dealers have older fill nozzles with worn threads.	The worn nozzles don’t have enough “bite” to engage the valve. Try a second LP dealer.
One burner does not light from other burner(s).	Grease buildup or food particles in end(s) of carryover tube(s).	Clean carry-over tube(s) with wire brush.
AUTO-CLEANTM(If Equipped)	Possible Cause Prevention/Solution
Timer does not work(Green light does not flash)	Dead BatteryBatteries installed incorrectly.Knob Position did not start the Clean Cycle	Replace batteriesInstall batteries correctly.Push Knob in to start the clean cycle. (Green LED should begin to flash)
No LED’s will illuminate	Dead Battery	Replace batteries
Red LED next to battery symbol is illuminated	Low Battery Strength	Prepare to replace batteries (NOTE: Clean cycle will operate with a weak battery.

Troubleshooting - Electronic Ignition

Problem (Ignition)	Possible Cause	Check Procedure	Prevention/Solution
SECTION INo sparks appear at any electrodes when Electronic Ignition Button is pressed; no noise can be heard from spark module.	Battery not installed properly.Dead battery.Button assembly not installed properly.Faulty spark module.	Check battery orientation.Has battery been used previously?Check to insure threads are properly engaged. Button should travel up and down without binding.If no sparks are generated with new battery and good wire connections, module is faulty.	Install battery (make sure that “+” and “-” connectors are oriented correctly, with “+” end up and “-” end down.)Replace battery with new alkaline battery.Unscrew button cap assembly and reinstall, making sure threads are aligned and engaged fully.Replace spark module assembly.
SECTION IINo sparks appear at any electrodes when Electronic Ignition Button is pressed; noise can be heard from spark module.	Output lead connections not connected.	Are output connections on and tight?	Remove and reconnect all output connections at module and electrodes.
SECTION IIISparks are present but not at all electrodes and/or not at full strength	Output lead connections not connected.Arcing to grill away from burner(s).Weak battery.Electrodes are wet.Electrodes cracked or broken “sparks at crack”.	Are output connections on and tight?If possible, observe grill in dark location. Operate ignition system and look for arcing between output wires and grill frame.All sparks present but weak or at slow rate.Has moisture accumulated on electrode and/or in burner ports?Inspect electrodes for cracks.	Remove and reconnect all output connections at module and electrodes.If sparks are observed other than from burner(s), wire insulation may be damaged. Replace wires.Replace battery with a new alkaline battery.Use paper towel to remove moisture.Replace cracked or broken electrodes.
