IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This outdoor gas cooking appliance is not intended to
be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
Always inspect the natural gas or LP gas hose assembly
before each use of the appliance. If there is evidence of
excessive abrasion or wear, or if the hose is cut, it must
be replaced prior to the appliance being put into
operation. Replacement hose assemblies can be
purchased at barbecue supply stores, or ordered through
Thermador® (see the rear cover for contact
information). If purchased at a retail outlet, the hose
assembly must be identical to the one supplied with the
unit. To inspect the hose assembly, check under the
unit through access opening in the enclosure.
Keep the area around the appliance clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
Do not place any items in front of the unit while in use.

Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the LP tank enclosure
free and clear of obstructions and debris.
Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply hose
away from any heated surfaces.
Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR BARBECUE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When properly cared for, your new Thermador® Char
Glo® barbecue has been designed to be a safe and
reliable appliance. However, extreme care must be
used as the grill produces intense heat and can increase
the potential for accidents or injury. When using this
appliance, basic safety precautions must be followed,
including the following:
• Read this manual carefully before using the
barbecue to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
• Insure proper installation. Follow the instructions
in Sections 3 through 5 in the Installation Instructions.
Have the installer show you where the gas supply
shutoff valve is located, and how to shut off the gas to
the barbecue. Always adhere to the minimum clearances
to combustible materials as specified in Section 3.
• Do not repair or replace any part of this
appliance unless specifically recommended in this
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified service technician.
• If you smell gas when the unit is not in use, have the
unit checked for leaks as defined in Section 6 in the
Installation Instructions. Finding a gas leak is not a doit-yourself procedure as some leaks can only be found
with the burner control in the ON position. This must
be done by a qualified technician.
• If you smell gas when the unit is in use, immediately
shut off all controls. Open the lid and let the gas
dissipate for at least five minutes. Relight the burner(s)
and verify that they are operating properly. If the
burner(s) fail to relight or are not operating properly,
shut of the gas to the unit and have the unit checked by
a qualified service technician. See Section 8.
• Children should not be left unattended in the
area where the barbecue being used. Never allow
children to sit, stand or play on or around the barbecue

enough to cause severe burns. Children should never
be allowed to crawl inside the enclosure.
• To avoid the potential for a grease fire, frequently
clean the drip tray. Be sure to let the unit cool
completely before removing the tray for cleaning.
• This appliance is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for your protection against
shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut
or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
• Be aware that spiders and insects can nest in
the burners of this barbecue. This can obstruct the
proper flow of gas into the burner and cause improper
operation, fire hazard and potential damage to the unit.
Inspect the burners periodically, or immediately if any
of the symptoms denoted in Section 8 exist.
• The top cover (hood) is to be closed during the
outdoor cooking gas appliance preheat period.
• Keep hands and fingers away from all edges of the
hood when it is in raised position.
WARNING: Never block vent opening at rear of
hood. Use with the vent opening
blocked will result in damage to the
unit and may cause a fire or injury.
LP TANK REQUIREMENTS
All units can be converted for use with an LP tank which
can be purchased locally at a barbecue supply store or
other retail outlet. The maximum tank capacity
for use with Thermador® Char Glo® barbecues
is twenty pounds (five gallons). The tank must be
constructed and marked in accordance with the
specifications for LP-gas tanks of the U.S. Department
of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of
Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, tank, Spheres and Tubes for
the Transportation of Dangerous Goods. To minimize
the potential for fire or an explosion, the following
precautions should be observed when using, filling or
storing an LP tank:
• Never use a dented or rusty LP tank. If there is
any question as to the soundness of the tank, have it
checked by your LP supplier.
• Never use a tank with a damaged or defective
shut off valve.
• Always close the tank shut off valve after use.
