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.

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 145° F.

CAUTION

SPIDER ALERT!

SPIDER AND WEBS

INSIDE BURNER

If your appliance is getting hard to light or the flame is weak, check and clean the venturi’s and burners.

Spiders or small insects are know to create “flashback” problems by building nests and laying eggs in the appliance venturi or burner obstructing the flow of gas. The back-up gas can ignite behind the control panel. This flashback can damage your appliance and cause injury. To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and venturi tube assembly should be removed and cleaned when ever the appliance has been idle for an extended period of time.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly (Continued)

7. Clean inner burner as recommended below, shown E.

We suggest three ways to clean the burner tube. Use the one easiest for you. (A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well) into a small hook. Run hook through burner tube several

times.

(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not

use a brass wire brush), run the brush through burner tube several times.

(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.

8. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion

some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.

9. Attach electrode to burner.

10. Carefully replace control panel assembly .

VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tube must re-engage over valve opening. See illustration, shown F.

Seguridad con los alimentos

La seguridad con los alimentos es una parte muy importante del disfrute de su parrillada al aire libre. Siga estos cuatro pasos básicos para proteger a los alimentos contra las bacterias nocivas:

Limpieza: Lávese las manos, lave los utensilios y las superficies con agua

jabonosa caliente, antes y después de manipular carnes y aves crudas.

Separación: Mantenga las carnes y las piezas de aves crudas separadas de

los alimentos listos para comer, para evitar la contaminación cruzada. Use bandejas y utensilios limpios para servir los alimentos preparados.

Cocción: Cocine bien las carnes y las piezas de ave, para matar las

bacterias. Use un termómetro para verificar que los alimentos alcancen la temperatura interna adecuada.

Refrigeración: Refrigere con prontitud los alimentos preparados y las sobras. Comuníquese con la Línea de información sobre carnes y aves del

Ministerio de Agricultura de EE UU para obtener mayor información, al 1-800-535-4555. En Washington, D.C. por el (202) 720-3333, entre las 10:00 h y las 16:00 h, hora normal del Este.

Bandeja para grasa

• Nunca use directamente el jugo que gotea de la bandeja para la grasa

para preparar la salsa. Utilice la bandeja de papel de aluminio incluido para la captura de línea drippings, y luego recalentar los drippings para matar las bacterias. Sustitución línea bandeja de papel de aluminio y otros accesorios se pueden encontrar en www.charbroil.com.

Cómo saber cuándo las carnes están bien cocidas

• El exterior de las carnes y las piezas de ave preparadas en la freidora a

menudo se dora rápidamente. Use únicamente carne descongelada y un termómetro para carnes, para verificar que los alimentos alcancen una temperatura interna segura, y corte la carne para verificar visualmente si ya está lista.

• Le recomendamos que antes de cocinar los alimentos en su freidora,

éstos estén a una temperatura de al menos 40° F.

• La temperatura de las aves enteras debe alcanzar 165° F. El jugo de las

mismas debe ser transparente y la carne no debe tener color rosado.

• Los filetes de carne de res, de ternera, y de cordero, los asados y las

chuletas de cerdo se pueden cocer a 145° F.

• NUNCA cocine parcialmente las piezas de carne o de aves, para

terminar de cocinarlas después. Cocine los alimentos completamente, para destruir las bacterias nocivas.

• Use un termómetro para verificar que los alimentos alcancen la

temperatura interna adecuada.

Cómo guardar su freidora

• Limpie la cesta de cocción.

• Guárdela en un lugar seco.

• Cuando el tanque de gas esté conectado a la freidora, guárdela al aire libre,

en un lugar bien ventilado y fuera del alcance de los niños.

• Si desconecta el regulador del tanque, cuélguelo del asa con el gancho que

viene con la freidora, como se ilustra.

Regulador de suspensión

• Cubra la freidora si la guarda al aire libre. El fabricante tiene a su disposición

una variedad de cubiertas para la freidora.

• SÓLO guarde la freidora bajo techo si se ha cerrado el paso y desconectado

el tanque de gas; retírela de la freidora y guárdelo al aire libre.

• Siga las instrucciones sobre Cómo limpiar la unidad del quemador antes de encender la freidora, cuando haya estado guardada.

USO Y MANTENIMIENTO

PELIGRO

• NUNCA guarde los cilindros de gas de repuesto debajo del aparato, cerca del mismo, ni en áreas cerradas.

• Nunca cargue el tanque a más del 80% de su capacidad.

• Los tanques de gas propano de repuesto sobrecargados o

mal llenados son peligrosos, ya que la válvula de seguridad puede dejar salir gas. Esto puede provocar incendios intensos que pueden causar daños materiales, lesiones graves o la muerte.

• Si observa, huele o escucha una fuga de gas, aléjese de

inmediato del cilindro y del aparato, y llame a los bomberos.

• Mantenga en todo momento el tanque de gas propano a

una distancia mínima de pulgadas (24”) de la freidora.

pulgadas

• Los tanques de gas desconectados, guardados o en transporte, deben tener instalada la tapa de seguridad (como se ilustra). No guarde el tanque de gas en lugares cerrados tales como cocheras, garajes, porches, patios techados y otras edificaciones. Nunca deje un

tanque de gas dentro de un vehículo, donde el

sol lo pueda recalentar.

• No guarde el tanque de gas en lugares donde jueguen los niños.

Válvula del tanque de gas

Tapa de seguridad

Tira de sujeción

Tanque de gas propano

• El tanque de gas que use con su freidora debe cumplir los siguientes requisitos:

• Use únicamente tanques de gas que tengan las siguientes medidas

obligatorias: 12" (30.5 cm) (diámetro) x 18" (45.7 cm) (altura), con una capacidad máxima de 20 lb. (9 kg).

• Los tanques de gas propano deben ser fabricados y codificados según las especificaciones del Departamento de Transporte de los Estados Unidos (DOT), para tanques de gas propano, o la Norma Nacional de Canadá, CAN/CSA-339, para tanques, esferas y tubos para el transporte de mercaderías peligrosas; y la comisión, según corresponda. El código se encuentra en el collarín del tanque de gas.

• El código se encuentra en el collarín del tanque de gas.

• Una salida de tipo 1, compatible con

el regulador o el aparato.

• Una válvula de paso de seguridad.

• Un dispositivo de seguridad volumétrica

certificado por UL. Esta característica de seguridad OPD se identifica mediante una manilla de forma triangular. Use

únicamente tanques equipados con válvulas de este tipo.

• El tanque de gas debe tener un dispositivo de extracción del vapor y

venir con un collarín para proteger su válvula. Siempre mantenga los tanques de gas en posición vertical durante su uso, su transporte o su almacenamiento.

Manilla del dispositivo de seguridad volumétrica

Remoción, transporte y almacenamiento del tanque de gas propano

• CIERRE la perilla de control y la válvula del tanque de gas.

Gire la tuerca de unión en sentido contrario a las agujas del reloj, a mano solamente; no use herramientas para desconectarla. Instale la tapa de seguridad en la válvula del tanque de gas. Use siempre la tapa y la tira que vienen con

la válvula. Si la tapa de seguridad no se usa tal como se indica, esto puede ocasionar lesiones o daños materiales graves.

El gas propano (GLP)

• Es atóxico, inodoro e incoloro en el momento en que se

produce. Por su propia seguridad, al gas propano se le ha incorporado un olor (parecido al de la col podrida) de modo que se pueda oler.

• El gas propano es sumamente inflamable y se puede encender

en forma inesperada al mezclarse con el aire.

Carga de los tanques de gas propano

• Recurra solamente a vendedores autorizados y con experiencia.

• El vendedor de gas debe purgar el tanque nuevo antes de cargarlo.

• El vendedor no debe cargar NUNCA el tanque de gas a más del 80%

de su volumen. El volumen de propano en el tanque puede variar con la temperatura.

• Si el regulador está empañado, eso indica que el tanque está sobrecargado. Cierre de inmediato la válvula del tanque y solicite ayuda del vendedor de gas propano.

• No deje escapar gas propano líquido a la atmósfera. Esta es una práctica peligrosa.

• Solicite ayuda del vendedor de propano o de los bomberos, para vaciar el gas de su tanque. Identifique a los vendedores autorizados de propano de su región en la sección de "compañías de gas" de la guía telefónica.
