The Fuel System
Gas grills are used safely by millions of people when following simple safety precautions.
The items in the fuel system are designed for operation with the Charmglow Table top grill. They must
not be replaced with any other brand. (See parts list for replacement items.)
GAS BURNER:
The gas burner is constructed of tubular stainless steel and should not require
maintenance other than inspection for insects/nests inside the air intake slots.
BURNER VALVE/REGULATOR:
The burner control is actually a regulator/valve assembly.
The regulator attaches directly to the end of the burner, which extends out of the right end of the grill by,
a 1-pound propane cylinder threads into the regulator. The burner control operates in the following
positions indicated by the pointer at the top of the regulator as installed on the grill:
Once the regulator is in as far as it will go, tighten it with a wrench.
OFF - This stops the flow of gas to the burner.
PUSH TO TURN ON - You must push “IN” on the knob to release the knob from the locked “OFF”
position. HIGH - This position provides the highest gas flow and hottest cooking temperatures.
MED - This position provides cooking temperatures between HIGH and LOW.
LOW - This position provides the lowest cooking temperatures.
ONLY A FACTORY SUPPLIED GAS VALVE/REGULATOR SHOULD BE USED.
See parts list for replacement items.
LP GAS REGULATOR CAUTION
The gas pressure regulator provided with this appliance must be used. This regulator is equipped with
the required orifice and is set for the required outlet pressure for this appliance. This combination of
orifice size and pressure regulation specifications provides the cooking performance intended by
Charmglow Table Top Grill. Substitution of regulator by any other device or any other manufacturer is
dangerous and could result in serious injury.
LP GAS REGULATOR
The gas pressure regulator is shipped loose and must be installed prior to operating your grill. This is
a” slip-fit~ requiring no tools. See assembly instructions for proper installation. The regulator may be
removed from grill after use. Turn the regulator control knob to the “OFF” position; disconnect LP
cylinder and allow the grill to cool for at least 30 minutes prior to removing regulator.
Care should be taken to store the regulator in a clean, secure location when the grill is not in use. The
threaded cylinder connection area should be kept clean and free of dust, dirt, sand or any foreign
materials. Clean both the regulator and LP cylinder threaded areas prior to connecting cylinder to
regulator.
PROPANE FUEL:
Warning - propane is a flammable gas. Improper handling may result in an
explosion and/or fire and serious accident or injury. Your grill is designed to operate with propane (LP)
gas only and is equipped with the proper orifice for propane gas.
Caution:
Do not connect this grill with any gas supply other than propane. Propane gas is heavier than
air and settles in lower areas. Make certain adequate ventilation is available when using your grill. The
gas cylinder may be stored outside in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children when the grill is
not in use.
LP GAS CYLINDER:
This grill is designed and intended to be use with a disposable propane cylinder
with a nominal fuel weight of 1 lb. Such a cylinder is approximately 4” in diameter and 7” long. The
Charmglow Table Top Grill does not include an LP gas cylinder. This must be purchased separately
and be supplied at most hardware stores. The cylinder used must be constructed in accordance with the
specifications for LP cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) DOT-39 NRC232/290
MllIO.
The LP gas cylinder shall be used only outdoors in a well-ventilated space and not in a building, garage,
or any other enclosed area. Charmglow Table Top Grill may be stored indoor if the LP gas cylinder is
removed and stored outdoors. The LP gas cylinder (not included) is threaded for connection directly to
the gas regulator supplied with this appliance. The LP gas cylinder is provided with a threaded
