Regulator and Hose
Regulator and Hose are supplied with the appliance. If a replacement is necessary, please visit
chargriller.com or call our customer service department, 912-638-4724. Do NOT use replacement parts
that are not intended for this grill. The life expectancy of the regulator is estimated as 10 years. It is
recommended that the regulator is changed within 10 years of the date of manufacture.
The use of the wrong regulator or hose is unsafe; always check that you have the correct items before
operating the appliance.
The hose used must conform to the relevant standard for the country of use. Worn or damaged hose
must be replaced. Ensure that the hose is not obstructed, kinked, or in contact with any part of the grill
other than at its connection.
Connecting the Hose to the Appliance
Before connection, ensure that there is no debris caught in the head of the gas cylinder, regulator,
burner, and burner ports. Spiders and insects can nest within and clog the burner/venturi tube at the
orifice. A clogged burner can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.
Clean burner holes with a heavy-duty pipe cleaner.
If the hose is replaced it must be secured to the appliance and regulator connections with hose clips.
Disconnect the regulator from the cylinder (according to the directions supplied with the regulator) when
the appliance is not in use.
The appliance must be used in a well-ventilated area. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air to the
burner when in use. ONLY USE THIS APPLIANCE OUTDOORS.
Connecting the Gas Cylinder to the Grill
This appliance is only suitable for use with low-pressure propane gas fitted with the appropriate low-
pressure regulator via a flexible hose. The hose should be secured to the regulator and the appliance
with hose clips.
1. Ensure all control knobs are in the OFF position and verify that the gas cylinder valve is closed by
turning the handle on the gas cylinder valve clockwise until it stops.
2. Remove the protective cap from the gas cylinder valve nozzle.
3. Hold the regulator in a straight line with the gas cylinder valve nozzle so the connection does not
cross thread.
4. Insert regulator nipple into the gas cylinder valve nozzle opening.
5. Hand-tighten coupling nut in a clockwise direction.
Do not use tools!
6. Perform a Leak Test. (See Leak Testing section of this manual).
