LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)

• LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when produced. For Your Safety, LP gas has been given an odor (similar to rotten cabbage) so that it can be smelled.
• LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly when mixed with air.

LP Cylinder Filling

• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.
  LP dealer must purge new cylinder before filling.
• Dealer should NEVER fill LP cylinder more than 80% of LP cylinder volume. Volume of propane in cylinder will vary by temperature.
  A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately close LP cylinder valve and call local LP gas dealer for assistance.
• Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the atmosphere. This is a hazardous practice.
• To remove gas from LP cylinder, contact an LP dealer or call a local fire department for assistance. Check the telephone directory under "Gas Companies" for nearest certified LP dealers.

LP Cylinder Exchange

• 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 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 leak test, keep grill away from open flames or sparks.
• Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and water solution. Brush soapy solution onto areas indicated by arrows in figure below.
• Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to gas train components can result.

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.
- Some surfaces will be hot during use. 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!

Valve Check

• Important: Make sure gas is off at source before checking valves. Knobs lock in off position. 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 hose specified by manufacturer.

Storing Your Grill

Clean and season griddle cook surface
- Store in dry location.
- Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill covers offered by Char-Broil at charbroil.com.
- Store grill indoors ONLY if hose is disconnected from gas source.
- When removing grill from storage, follow "Cleaning the Burner Assembly" instructions before starting grill.

General Grill Cleaning

Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.

• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
• Do not use citrusol, 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.

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 at gas source.
2. Remove griddle.
3. Remove carryover tubes and hardware securing 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.

Correct burner-tovalve engagement

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 Griddle.
5. Before cooking again on grill, perform a "Leak Test" and "Burner Flame Check".

First Time Use:

Before using your griddle, wash it thoroughly with a mild dishwashing liquid to remove the protective coating applied for shipping. Rinse with hot water and dry completely with a soft cloth or paper towel. NEVER ALLOW TO DRAIN DRY. Now season the griddle to prevent rust and sticking.

Seasoning:

A solid vegetable shortening is recommended for the initial seasoning. Spread a thin coating of solid vegetable shortening over the entire surface, including all corners, with a paper towel. Do not use salted fats such as butter or margarine.

Preheat griddle for 15 minutes. Allow the griddle to heat for 1 to 112 hours. Turn off the burners, and allow the griddle to cool. Your griddle is now ready to use.

To Prevent Rusting:

Re-season your griddle frequently, particularly when new. If rust occurs, it is an indication that the griddle has not been seasoned enough or the seasoning has been burned off. Clean with a heavy brush. Reapply vegetable shortening and heat as indicated above to re-season the griddle.

Maintenance:

Do not do a burn-off after you grill, but rather leave the cooking residues on the griddle to keep a protective coating on the steel. Do a burn-off just before you grill. The more you use your griddle, the easier the maintenance will be.

Store in a dry place. If you store your griddle for an extended period of time, grease very lightly with vegetable shortening, then wipe dry with a paper towel.
