Temperature; Getting Started - Char-Broil QUANTUM Manual

Getting started

First Time Use
Read your Assembly Manual and ensure the grill is put together properly.
Attaching your LP Tank (check your Assembly Manual for complete info):
1. LP cylinder must be properly secured onto grill.
(Refer to assembly section.)
2. Turn all control knobs to the OFF position.
3. Turn LP cylinder OFF by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a
full stop.
4. Remove the protective cap from LP cylinder valve. Always use cap
and strap supplied with valve.
5. Hold regulator and insert nipple into LP cylinder valve. Hand
tighten the coupling nut, holding regulator in a straight line with
LP cylinder valve so as not to cross-thread the connection.
6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise and tighten to a full stop. The
regulator will seal on the back-check feature in the LP cylinder
valve, resulting in some resistance. An additional one-half to
three-quarters turn is required to complete the connection.
Tighten by hand only – do not use tools.
Regulator

Temperature

The temperature gauge in the hood of your new grill measures air tem-
perature. The Quantum Infrared Cooking System is hot and can reach
temperatures up to 700˚F degrees at the cooking surface. The air tem-
perature inside your grill will never be as hot as the temperature at the
cooking surface.
Coupling Nut
Since 1995, all regulators (the
part that attaches to the gas tank
to regulate the flow of gas) have
included a safety feature that
restricts the gas flow in the event
of a gas leak. You can inadver-
tently activate this safety feature
without having a gas leak. This
typically occurs when you turn
on the gas using the grill control
knob before you turn on the gas
on LP tank valve. If the gas regula-
tor safety feature activates, the
grill will only reach temperatures
between 250°F and 300°F even
with all burners on the high setting.
