SPIDER ALERT!
SPIDER AND WEBS
INSIDE BURNER
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 backup 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.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner
assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.
1. Turn gas off at LP cylinder.
2. Remove cooking grates.
3. Remove carryover tubes and hardware securing burners.
4. Detach electrode from burner.
5. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one
easiest for you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well) into a
small hook. Run the hook through each burner tube several times.
(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not use
a brass wire brush). Run the brush through each burner tube
several times.
(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into the
burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port to make
sure air comes out each hole.
6. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue
and dirt.
7. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper
clip.
8. Check burner for damage due to normal wear and corrosion, some
holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are
found, replace burner.
9. Attach electrode and flame sensor to burner.
10. Carefully replace burners.
11. Attach burners to brackets on firebox.
12. Reposition carryover tubes and attach to burners. Replace cooking
grates.
13. Before cooking again on barbecue, perform a "Leak Test" and "Burner
Flame Check".
General Appliance Cleaning
Periodic cleaning of this grill is necessary, as grill fires can occur
when grease and food debris collect in the bottom of the grill. After
each use, remove any remaining food particles from the cooking
grate and inside of the grill using a Char-Broil Cool-Clean Brush.
Afterwards you could spray Char-Broil Grate Cleaner generously
onto the grate, allow it work for 10 minutes and wipe off with a wet
cloth or brush. Perform grill cleaning after the grill has cooled down.
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smoke for paint. Interiors of gas barbecues are not painted at the
factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution
of detergent and water or use a appliance cleaner with scrub
brush on insides of appliance lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to
completely air dry. Do not apply caustic appliance/oven cleaner
to painted surfaces.
• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not
use abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated appliance
cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can
result.
• Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most
residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution,
glass cleaner or Char-Broil Grate Cleaner. Use nonabrasive
scouring powder for stubborn stains.
• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or cleaner and
warm soapy water or Char-Broil Grill Cleaner. Wipe dry with a
soft nonabrasive cloth.
• Cooking surfaces: Ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking
surfaces prior to grilling. While grill is hot, it is only recommended
to clean cooking surfaces using the Char-Broil Hot-Clean
Replacement head (on the Char-Broil Cool-Clean Premium
Brush).
• Controller: To clean the controller face, wipe clean with soft, dry
cloth.
CLEAN Setting
Your grill is equipped with an innovative CLEAN setting that
allows for hassle-free grill cleaning. The high heat generated
from the burners will turn all remaining food debris to ash.
Follow these steps:
• After you are done grilling, while temperature is still set, press and hold
CLEAN icon until CLN is displayed on controller.
• Once the grill is cool, use a Char-Broil Cool-Clean Brush to remove any
remaining debris and dispose of the ash.
• To get extra-shiny results, use the Char-Broil Grate Cleaner as a last step.
Spray generously onto the grate, allow it work for 10 minutes and wipe off
with a wet cloth or brush.
