Connecting Gas Cylinder:
The propane gas supply cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked in
accordance with the Specifications for propane gas Cylinders of the U.S. Depart-
ment of Transportation (DOT), or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA
B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and
Commission, as applicable. Only cylinders with a listed overfill prevention device
(OPD) and marked “propane” may be used. Cylinders with an OPD will have valve
handles with three “lobes” (prongs). Only use 20-pound cylinders equipped with a
Type 1 cylinder connection device for outdoor cooking appliances. The cylinder
must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The gas cylinder should not be
dropped or handled roughly! If the appliance is not in use, the gas cylinder must
be disconnected. Storage of an appliance indoors is permissible ONLY if the cylin-
der is disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored
outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage
or any other enclosed area. Your cylinder must never be stored where tempera-
tures can reach over 125 F. Before connection, be sure that there is no debris
caught in the head of the gas cylinder, head of the regulator valve or in the head of
the burner and burner ports. Connect regulator valve and hand-tighten firmly. Dis-
connect the propane cylinder from the regulator valve when the grill is not in use.
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion air and ventilation air to the grill. The pro-
pane cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and equipped with a listed
overfilling prevention device. For proper vapor withdrawal, the cylinder should be
used in the proper upright position (refer to illustration under step 22 of page 17).
DANGER:
Never store a spare propane cylinder near this grill.
A fire causing death or serious injury may occur if the above is not followed
exactly.

Cleaning and Care
Caution:
All cleaning and maintenance should be done when grill is cool and with the gas
supply turned off at the propane cylinder.
DO NOT clean any grill part in a self cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage
the finish.
Cleaning
Burning-off the grill after every use (approx. 15 minutes) will keep excessive food
residue from building up. Clean grease tray and cup after EVERY use.
Recommended cleaning materials:
- Mild dishwashing liquid detergent - Hot water
- Nylon cleaning pad - Brass wire brush (brush lightly)
DO NOT use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene.
Outside surfaces –
Use a mild dishwashing detergent and hot water solution to clean, then rinse with
water.
If the inside surface of the grill lid has the appearance of peeling paint, baked on
grease buildup has turned to carbon and is flaking off. Clean thoroughly with
strong solution of detergent and hot water.
Rinse with water and allow to completely dry.
Interior of grill bottom –Remove residue using brush, scraper and/or cleaning pad,
then wash with dishwashing detergent and hot water solution. Rinse with water
and let thoroughly dry.
Cooking Grids –The porcelain grates have a glass-like composition that
should be handled with care not to chip. Use mild dishwashing de-
tergent or baking soda and hot water solution. Non abrasive scour-
ing powder can be used on stubborn stains, then rinse with water.
Heat Shield –Clean residue with wire brush and wash with soapy water.
Then rinse with water.

OM3001D.3 ™ & © Char-Griller / A&J Mfg. 20
•Remove grease collector.
•Remove cooking grates and heat shield.
•Remove burner by unscrewing nut from beneath burner “foot” using a screwdriver and
pliers.

•Clean inlet (venturi) of burner with small bottle brush or compressed air.
•Remove all food residue and dirt on outside of burner surface.
•Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire (such as an opened paper clip)
•Inspect burner for any damage (cracks or holes). If damage is found, replace
with new burner. Reinstall burner; check to insure that gas valve orifices are cor-
rectly positioned inside burner inlet (venturi). Also check position of spark elec-
trode.
