OPERATING INSTRUCTION
General use of the grill and rotisserie
Each main burner is rated at 12,000 Btu/hr. The main grill burners encompass the entire cooking area and are side ported to minimize blockage from falling grease and debris. Above the burners are stainless steel radiants (flame covers). The igniter knobs are located on the lower center portion of the valve panel. Each rotary igniter is labeled on the control panel.
USING THE GRILL:
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the “HI” heat setting for the entire cooking time. However, when grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it may be necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after the initial browning. This cooks the food through without burning the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or foods basted with a sugary marinade may need a lower heat setting near the end of the cooking time.
To begin:
1.Make sure the grill has been leak tested and is properly located.
2.Remove any remaining packing material.
3.Light the grill burners using the instructions in this manual see page 18 & 19
4.Turn the control knob(s) to “HI” and preheat the grill for 15 minutes. The grill lid is to be closed during the appliance preheat period.
5.Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired doneness. Adjust heat setting, if necessary. The control knob may be set to any position between “HI” and “LO”.
NOTE: The CHARMGLOW grill is designed to grill efficiently without the use of lava rocks or briquettes of any kind. Heat is radiated by the stainless steel flame tamers positioned above each burner.
NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices. The longer preheat, the faster the meat browns and the darker the grill marks.
DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: IMPORTANT!
BEFORE LIGHTING…
Inspect the gas supply hose prior to turning the gas “ON”. If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use. Do not use the grill if the odor of gas is present. Only the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit should be used. Never substitute regulators for those supplied with the grill. If a replacement is necessary, contact the factory for proper replacement.
Hand tighten the regulator (type QCC1) onto the tank. Leak check the hose and regulator connections with a soapy water solution before operating the grill (Do not use tool to attach regulator / hose assembly to propane tank.)
TO LIGHT THE GRILL BURNER:
Make sure all knobs are “OFF” then turn on the gas supply from the LP tank. Always keep your face and body as far from the grill as possible when lighting.
Your Charmglow grill has an exclusive patented
The HI setting, you will hear the valve click as it sends a spark to the pilot flame. If the burner does not light wait 5 minutes for any excess gas to dissipate and then retry.
Flame Characteristics
Check for proper burner flame characteristics. Each burner is adjusted prior to shipment; however, variations in the local gas supply may take minor adjustments necessary.
Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise, or lifting. If any of these conditions exist call our customer service line. If the flame is yellow, it indicates insufficient air. If the flame is noisy and tends to lift away from the burner, it indicates too much air.
