This manual provides essential instructions for the assembly, safe operation, and maintenance of the Char-Broil Performance 2-Burner Gas Grill. Before using the grill, ensure it is properly assembled and leak-tested. Always operate the grill outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
Safety Warnings
- Gas Leaks: If you smell gas, shut off the gas supply, extinguish open flames, and open the lid. If the odor persists, move away from the appliance and call your fire department.
- Grease Fires: Do not use water on a grease fire. Turn off knobs and the LP cylinder. Regular cleaning of the grill and burner assembly is the best prevention.
- Propane Handling: Never store a spare LP cylinder under or near the grill. Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% capacity.
Assembly
The grill requires assembly. Follow the 16 steps outlined in the manual. Ensure all screws and washers are tightened, but do not over-tighten on porcelain-coated surfaces to prevent cracking.
Operation
Lighting Instructions
- Ignitor Lighting: Open the lid, turn gas on at the LP cylinder, push and turn the ignition burner knob to HIGH, and immediately press the electronic ignitor button until the burner lights.
- Match Lighting: If the ignitor fails, use a long-stem match placed in the match holder, insert it through the side hole, and turn the burner knob to HIGH.
Flame Check
Always check burner flames before each use. The flame should be smaller in the LOW position than in the HIGH position.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
If the grill is hard to light or the flame is weak, clean the venturis and burners to remove spider webs or debris. Use a stiff wire, a narrow bottle brush, or compressed air to clean the burner tubes.
General Cleaning
Clean cooking grates after each use. Use mild detergent and warm water for plastic and painted surfaces. For stainless steel, use a soft cloth and stainless steel cleaner.
Troubleshooting
If the grill does not light, check the gas supply, ensure the burner is properly engaged with the valve, and verify the electrode position. If gas flow is low, reset the regulator safety device by disconnecting and reconnecting the regulator to the LP tank.
Practical help
