WARNING
For Safe Use Of Your Grill And To Avoid Serious
Injury:
•Do not let children operate or play near grill.
•Keep grill area clear and free from materials that burn.
•Do not block holes in bottom or back of grill.
•Check burner flames regularly.
•Use grill only in well-ventilated space. NEVER use in
enclosed space such as carport, garage, porch, covered
patio, or under an overhead structure of any kind.
•Do not use charcoal or ceramic briquets in a gas grill.
(Unless briquets are supplied with your grill.)
•Use grill at least 3 ft. from any wall or surface. Maintain
10 ft. clearance to objects that can catch fire or sources of
ignition such as pilot lights on water heaters, live electrical
appliances, etc.
•Apartment Dwellers:
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 tank out of correct position
specified in assembly instructions.
•Always close LP tank valve and remove coupling nut
before moving LP tank from specified operation
position.
Safety Tips
sBefore opening LP cylinder valve, check the coupling nut for
tightness.
sWhen grill is not in use, turn off all control knobs and LP
cylinder valve.
sIf the outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use, the gas
must be turned off at the supply cylinder. Storage of an
outdoor cooking gas appliance indoors is permissible only if
the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the appliance.
sNever move grill while in operation or still hot.
sUse long-handled barbecue utensils and oven mitts to avoid
burns and splatters.
sMaximum load for side shelves is 10 lbs.
sThe grease cup must be inserted into grease clip and
emptied after each use. Do not remove grease cup until grill
has completely cooled.
s 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.
sIf 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.
sThe regulator may make a humming or whistling noise during
operation. This will not affect safety or use of grill.
sOnly use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied
with this grill. Replacement pressure regulator and hose
assemblies must be specified or supplied by Char-Broil, LLC.
sIf you have a grill problem see the "Troubleshooting Section".
sIf 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!
CAUTION•Putting out grease fires by closing the lid is not
possible. Grills are well ventilated for safety reasons.
•Do not use water on a grease fire. Personal injury may
result. If a grease fire develops, turn knobs and LP tank
off.
•Do not leave grill unattended while preheating or
burning off food residue on high. If grill has not been
regularly cleaned, a grease fire can occur that may
damage the product. Follow instructions on General
Grill Cleaning and Cleaning The Burner Assembly to
prevent grease fires.
