Burner Flame Check
• Remove cooking grates and heat tents. 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 side burner, 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 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.

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.
• Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a
• 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
• 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!
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.
