When LP cylinder is connected to appliance, store outdoors in  
a well-ventilated space and out of reach of children.  
If the regulator is disconnected from the LP cylinder, a hook is  
provided to hang the regulator from the handle as shown.  
Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor  
cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria,  
follow these four basic steps:  
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water  
before and after handling raw meat and poultry.  
Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat  
foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and  
utensils when removing cooked foods.  
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a  
thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.  
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.  
For more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at

4:00 pm EST.  
Grease Tray  
Never use drippings directly from the grease tray to make  
gravy. Use the included foil tray liner to catch drippings, then  
reheat the drippings to kill bacteria. Replacement foil tray liners  
and other accessories can be found at www.charbroil.com.  
• Cover appliance if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of  
covers offered by the manufacturer.  
• Store indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and is  
disconnected, removed from appliance and stored outdoors.  
When removing appliance from storage, follow Cleaning the  
Burner Assemblyinstructions before starting.  
How To Tell If Meat Is Cooked Thoroughly  
Meat and poultry cooked in the appliance often browns very  
fast on the outside. Use only thawed meat and a meat  
thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal  
temperature, and cut into food to check for visual signs of  
doneness.  
We recommend food to be at least 40°F before cooking in your  
appliance.  
Whole poultry should reach 165° F. Juices should run clear  
and flesh should not be pink.  
Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and pork chops can be  
cooked to 160° F.  
“For Best Results”  
Place poultry into the appliance  
with breast up as shown.  
NEVER partially cook meat or poultry and finish cooking later.  
Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.  
Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper internal food  
temperatures.

known to create flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build  
nests and lay eggs in the the appliances venturi tube(s) obstructing  
the flow of gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the  
venturi behind the control panel. This is known as a flashback and it  
can damage your the appliance and even cause injury.  
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and  
venturi assembly should be removed from the the appliance and  
cleaned before use whenever the the appliance has been idle for an  
extended period.
