OPERATING INSTRUCTION
General use of the grill and rotisserie
Each main burner is rated at 12,000 Btu/hr. The main
grill burners encompass the entire cooking area and are
side ported to minimize blockage from falling grease and
debris. Above the burners are stainless steel radiants
(flame covers). The igniter knobs are located on the
lower center portion of the valve panel. Each rotary
igniter is labeled on the control panel.
USING THE GRILL:
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper
browning. Most foods are cooked at the “HI” heat setting
for the entire cooking time. However, when grilling large
pieces of meat or poultry, it may be necessary to turn the
heat to a lower setting after the initial browning. This
cooks the food through without burning the outside.
Foods cooked for a long time or foods basted with a
sugary marinade may need a lower heat setting near the
end of the cooking time.
To begin:
1. Make sure the grill has been leak tested and is
properly located.
2. Remove any remaining packing material.
3. Light the grill burners using the instructions in this
manual see page 18 & 19
4. Turn the control knob(s) to “HI” and preheat the
grill for 15 minutes. The grill lid is to be closed
during the appliance preheat period.
5. Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired
doneness. Adjust heat setting, if necessary. The
control knob may be set to any position between
“HI” and “LO”.
NOTE: The CHARMGLOW grill is designed to grill
efficiently without the use of lava rocks or briquettes of
any kind. Heat is radiated by the stainless steel flame
tamers positioned above each burner.
NOTE: The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices.
The longer preheat, the faster the meat browns and the
darker the grill marks.
DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED
WHILE COOKING.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: IMPORTANT!
BEFORE LIGHTING…
Inspect the gas supply hose prior to turning the gas
“ON”. If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it
must be replaced prior to use. Do not use the grill if the
odor of gas is present. Only the pressure regulator and
hose assembly supplied with the unit should be used.
Never substitute regulators for those supplied with the
grill. If a replacement is necessary, contact the factory
for proper replacement.
Hand tighten the regulator (type QCC1) onto the tank.
Leak check the hose and regulator connections with a
soapy water solution before operating the grill (Do not
use tool to attach regulator / hose assembly to propane
tank.)
TO LIGHT THE GRILL BURNER:
Make sure all knobs are “OFF” then turn on the gas
supply from the LP tank. Always keep your face and
body as far from the grill as possible when lighting.
Your Charmglow grill has an exclusive patented built-in
ignition. The igniter is built in to the valve. To ignite
each burner simply push and turn the control knobs to
The HI setting, you will hear the valve click as it sends a
spark to the pilot flame. If the burner does not light wait
5 minutes for any excess gas to dissipate and then retry.
Flame Characteristics
Check for proper burner flame characteristics. Each
burner is adjusted prior to shipment; however, variations
in the local gas supply may take minor adjustments
necessary.
Burner flames should be blue and stable with no yellow
tips, excessive noise, or lifting. If any of these conditions
exist call our customer service line. If the flame is
yellow, it indicates insufficient air. If the flame is noisy
and tends to lift away from the burner, it indicates too
much air.
