Ignitor Check

- Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Press and hold electronic ignitor button. "Click" should be heard and spark seen each time in each collector box or between 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 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 valve/hose/regulator specified by manufacturer.

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 Char-Broil at charbroil.com.
• 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.

CAUTION

SPIDER ALERT!

SPIDER AND WEBS INSIDE BURNER Your burner might be different

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 back-up 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 when ever the grill has been idle for an extended period of time.

General Grill Cleaning

Why Clean?

We've all heard the saying 'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure'. This is great advice when it comes to keeping your grill clean.

Routine Care

Periodic cleaning of this grill is necessary, as grill fires can occur when grease and food debris collect in the bottom of the grill. After each use, remove any remaining food particles from the cooking grate and inside of the grill using the provided cleaning tool / brush. Perform grill cleaning after the grill has cooled down.

General Cleaning

Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use 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 glass cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.

Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner and warm water. Wipe dry with a soft non-abrasive cloth.

Stainless steel surfaces: Stainless steel can rust under certain conditions. This can be caused by environmental conditions such as chlorine or salt water, or improper cleaning tools such as wire or steel wool. It can also discolor due to heat, chemicals, or grease build-up. To maintain your grill's high-quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm water or use a stainless steel grill cleaner. 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: Ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.

USE AND CARE

CLEAN Setting

Your grill is equipped with an innovative CLEAN setting that allows for hassle-free grill cleaning. The high heat generated from the burners will turn all remaining food debris to ash.

Follow these steps:

• After you are done grilling, adjust all main burners to CLEAN setting, close lid and remain for approximately 12 - 15 minutes.
• After approximately 12 – 15 minutes, adjust all main burners to OFF setting and allow grill to cool.
• Once the grill is cool, open lid and use a nylon-bristle cleaning brush to remove any remaining debris and dispose of the ash.

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 heat tents.
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.

5. 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.

3RD 2ND 1ST CAUTION/ ATTENTION/ ADVERTENCIA Cylinder valve must face to front of cart once tank is attached.

CAUTION/ ATTENTION/ ADVERTENCIA

Cylinder valve must face to front of cart once tank is attached. Failure to install cylinder correctly may allow gas hose to be damaged in operation, resulting in the risk of fire.

EMERGENCIES: If a gas leak cannot be stopped, or a fire occurs due to gas leakage, call the fire department.

Emergencies Possible Cause Prevention/Solution
Gas leaking from cracked/cut/burned hose.	Damaged hose.	Turn off gas at LP cylinder or at source on natural gas systems. Discontinue use of product and replace valve/hose/regulator. Once valve/hose/regulator replaced conduct complete leak check per manual.
Gas leaking from LP cylinder. Gas leaking from LP cylinder valve.	Mechanical failure due to rusting or mishandling.Failure of cylinder valve from mishandling or mechanical failure.	Replace LP cylinder.Turn off LP cylinder valve. Return LP cylinder to gas supplier.
Gas leaking between LP cylinder and regulator connection.	Improper installation, connection not tight, and/or failure of rubber seal in cylinder valve.	Turn off LP cylinder valve. Remove regulator from cylinder and visually inspect rubber seal in cylinder valve for damage. If damage or cannot correct leak replace cylinder. See LP Cylinder Leak Test and Connecting Regulator to the LP Cylinder.
Fire coming through control panel.	Fire in burner tube section of burner due to blockage.	Turn off control knobs and LP cylinder valve. Leave lid open to allow flames to die down. After fire is cut and grill is cold, remove burner and inspect for spider nests or rust. See Natural Hazard and Cleaning the Burner Assembly pages.
Grease fire or continuous excessive flames above cooking surface.	Too much grease buildup in burner area.	Turn off control knobs and LP cylinder valve. Leave lid open to allow flames to die down. After cooling, clean food particles and excess grease from inside firebox area, grease tray, and other surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Prevention/Solution
Burner(s) will not light using ignitor.(See Electronic Ignition Troubleshooting also)Continued on next page.	GAS ISSUES:Trying to light wrong burner.Burner not engaged with control valve.Obstruction in burner.No gas flow.Coupling nut and LP cylinder valve not fully connected.ELECTRICAL ISSUES:Electrode cracked or broken; “sparks at crack.”Electrode tip not in proper position.(Does not apply to SUREFIRE.)Wire and/or electrode covered with cooking residue.Wires are loose or disconnected.Wires are shorting (sparking) between ignitor and electrode.Dead battery.ELECTRONIC IGNITION:No spark, no ignition noise.No spark, some ignition noise.Sparks, but not at electrode or at full strength.	See instructions on control panel and in Use and Care section.Make sure valves are positioned inside of burner tubes.Ensure burner tubes are not obstructed with spider webs or other matter. See cleaning section of Use and Care.Make sure LP cylinder is not empty. If LP cylinder is not empty, refer to “Sudden drop in gas flow.”Turn the coupling nut approximately one-half to three-quarters additional turn until solid stop. Tighten by hand only - do not use tools.Replace electrode(s).Main Burners:Tip of electrode should be pointing toward gas port opening on burner. The distance should be 1/8" to 1/4". Adjust if necessary.Sideburner:Tip of electrode should be pointing toward gas port opening on burner. the distance should be 1/8" to 3/16". Adjust if necessary.Clean wire and/or electrode with rubbing alcohol and clean swab.Reconnect wires or replace electrode/wire assembly.Replace ignitor wire/electrode assembly.Replace with a new alkaline battery.See Section I of Electronic Ignition System.See Section II of Electronic Ignition System.See Section III of Electronic Ignition System.
Burner(s) will not match light. See	GAS ISSUES:Match will not reach.Improper method of match-lighting.	Use long-stem match (fireplace match).See "Match-Lighting" section of Use and Care.
Sudden drop in gas flow or low flame.	Out of gas.Excess flow valve tripped.Vapor lock at coupling nut/LP cylinder connection.	Check for gas in LP cylinder.Turn off knobs, wait 30 seconds and light grill. If flames are still low, turn off knobs and LP cylinder valve. Disconnect regulator. Reconnect regulator and leak-test. Turn on LP cylinder valve, wait 30 seconds and then light grill.Turn off knobs and LP cylinder valve. Disconnect coupling nut from cylinder. Reconnect and retry.
Flames blow out. • High or gusting winds.Low on LP gas.Excess flow valve tripped.		Turn front of grill to face wind or increase flame height by turning gas valve to a higher position.Refill LP cylinder.Refer to “Sudden drop in gas flow” above.
Flare-up. • Grease buildup.	Excessive fat in meat.Excessive cooking temperature.	Clean burners and inside of grill/firebox.Trim fat from meat before grilling.Adjust (lower) temperature accordingly.
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.
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.

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 properlyDead 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 "+" on cap end.)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.
