WARNING FOR YOUR SAFETY 1. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. 2. An LP tank not connected for use shall not be stored in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Safety Symbols The symbols and boxes shown below explain what each heading means. Read and follow all of the messages found throughout the manual. DANGER DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
DANGER • Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full. An overfilled LP tank is hazardous due to possible gas released from the safety relief valve. • The safety relief valve on the LP tank could activate releasing gas and cause an intense fire with risk of property damage, serious injury or death.
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.
Do not use a POL transport plug (plastic part with external threads)! It will defeat the safety feature of the valve. 5. Hold regulator and insert nipple into LP tank valve. Hand-tighten the coupling nut, holding regulator in a straight line with LP tank valve so as to not cross- thread the connection.
Leak Testing Valves, Hose and Regulator 1. Turn all grill control knob(s) to OFF. Be sure regulator is tightly connected to LP tank. Completely open LP tank valve by turning hand wheel counterclockwise. If you hear a sound , turn gas off immediately. There is a major leak at the connection.

Rotisserie Burner Use The rotisserie burner is a 10,500 BTU radiant heat burner that transforms your grill into a multilevel cooking center. It is attached to the back of the bottom casting, above the main grid. You can use the burner as a broiler to cook foods on the cooking grates or bonus-grid. If you do, then you cannot use the bottom burner.
General Grill Cleaning • Keep the outside of your grill looking new by cleaning it once a month with warm soap and water or a non-abrasive cleaner. If you don’t have a grill cover, wipe off dust and grime before starting your grill.
Routine Care The Char-Broil® Stainless Steel Grill Cleaner and the Thermos® Stainless Steel Grill Cleaner are good choices for routine cleaning of stainless steel surfaces. Mild stains and loose dirt and soil can also be removed with a soft cloth and clean warm water. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry.
CAUTION NATURAL HAZARD • SPIDERS SOLUTION: Wait for grill to cool. Follow the cleaning instructions for your appropriate grill. Clean burners often. Spiders and insects don’t care if your grill is brand new or you just cleaned it. We have found in trying to remove web’s from the burner tubes a 12” pipe cleaner cleans out the tubes, or water from a hose with a nozzle attached.

If you use the indirect cooking method (indirect cooking is lighting only one burner and placing food on opposite side of cooking grate), allow more grilling time.
