Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you
have trouble igniting barbecue.
1.
Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder.
2.
Remove cooking grates and heat tents.
3.
Remove carryover tubes and hardware securing burners.
4.
Detach electrode from burner.
NOTE: Removal/Detachment method will depend on the burner configuration.
See different configurations in illustrations below.
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.
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must
reengage valve openings. See illustrations
at right.

Storing Your Appliance
•
Clean cooking grates.
•
Store in dry location.
•
When gas cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a well-ventilated
space and out of reach of children.
•
Cover appliance if stored outdoors.
•
Store appliance indoors ONLY if gas cylinder is turned off and disconnected,
removed from appliance and stored outdoors.
•
When removing appliance from storage, check for burner obstructions.
General Appliance Cleaning
Periodic cleaning of this appliance is necessary, as fires can occur when grease
and food debris collect in the bottom of the appliance. After each use, remove any
remaining food particles from the cooking grate and inside of the appliance 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 cleaning after the appliance 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 an appliance
cleaner with scrub brush on insides of appliance lid and bottom. Rinse and
allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a 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 or specially formulated 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 appliance 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).
CLEAN Setting
Your appliance is equipped with an innovative CLEAN setting that allows for hassle-
free cleaning. The high heat generated from the burners will turn all remaining food
debris to ash. Follow these steps:
•
After you are done barbecue, adjust all main burners to CLEAN setting and
remain for approximately 12 – 15 minutes.
•
After approximately 12 – 15 minutes, adjust all main burners to OFF setting and
allow appliance to cool.
•
Once the appliance 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.
