Turbo CG3TCBN, Instruction Manual

Energy Conservation

You'll be pleased to know that by cooking outdoors on

your Gas grill you'll be using no more of our nation's pre-
cious energy than if you were cooking indoors. And, on hot
summer days, cooking outdoors takes the heat out of the
kitchen and cuts down on the energy needed to air condi-
tion your home.

Maintenance Guide

On at least a monthly basis during times when the BBQ

is in use, and at least every other week during high usage
periods, the following items must be inspected:

1.

Clear the area surrounding the BBQ of ALL combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.

2.

Ensure that the free flow of combustion and ventilating
air is not obstructed.

Porcelain Cooking Grills (Classic Turbo):

The Porcelain Cooking Grills should be cleaned regularly.

Use a brass bristle brush to lightly clean off the excess
build-up on both sides of the grill. Use care not to scratch or
chip the porcelain finish.

Do not use abrasives!

Stainless Steel Cooking Grills (Elite Turbo):

Use a brass bristle brush to clean off the excess build-up

on both sides of the grill.

To thoroughly clean the grills:
1.

Lightly brush off excess build-up with brass brush on

both sides.

2.

Remove grills from BBQ.

3.

Wash grills in warm water.

4.

With grills still wet, sprinkle baking soda very liberally
over surfaces on both sides.

5.

Take a wet sponge and vigorously rub and clean off sur-
faces. 

NOTE:

Tough spots may need second applica-

tion of baking soda and rubbing.

6.

Rinse well and dry. Oil lightly.

Porcelain Cast Iron Burners (Classic Turbo):

Burners need to be cleaned periodically. Take each

burner out of the BBQ and brush it down very carefully
using a brass bristle brush (Use care on Porcelainized
Coated Burners - do not damage enamel coating). Make
sure every port hole is open. If the holes are obstructed,
they may be cleaned using an open paper clip or small drill
bit (#31 drill size) on a drill.

Use a fine tooth hacksaw blade or sharp knife to clean

out cross over slot on bottom of burner. Tap the open end
of burner gently on a hard surface to dislodge any rust, etc.
inside.

To visually check that the burner is operating, look at the

burner flame between the tray and BBQ frame.  The flame
should be approximately 1/2"-3/4" long with the high setting
(

Figure 20

).

Stainless Burners (Elite Turbo models) 

should be rotated

every 6 months.

CAUTION: BEWARE OF FLASHBACK

CAUTION:

Spiders and small

insects occasionally spin webs
or make nests in the grill
burner tubes during transit
and warehousing. These webs
can lead to a gas flow obstruc-
tion which could result in a fire

in and around the burner tubes. This type of fire is known as
a ”FLASHBACK” and can cause serious damage to your
grill and create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of
”FLASHBACK”, it is the most common cause. To reduce the
chance of ”FLASHBACK”, you must clean the burner tubes
before assembling your grill, and at least once a month in
late summer or early fall when spiders are most active. Also
perform this burner tube cleaning procedure if your grill has
not been used for an extended period of time. A venturi tube
cleaner should be used to clean the venturi section (Fig.18).

Porcelain Hood (Classic Turbo models): 

The Hood

should be periodically cleaned as, over time, the material
(baked-on grease) inside the Hood will appear to be flaking
off. This is residue only and can be cleaned using 

Simple

Green Barbecue Cleaner.

The unit has a Porcelain

Enamel Finish, exactly like an oven and in extreme cases
an oven cleaner can be used, rinse well.

Note: 

Baking Soda is an ideal cleaner.

Note: 

Do not use abrasives on any porcelain finish.

Stainless Steel Hood (Elite Turbo models):

There are

many different stainless steel cleaners available. Always
use the mildest cleaning procedure first, scrubbing in the
direction of the grain.  To touch-up noticeable scratches,
sand very lightly with 100 grit sand paper in the direction of
the grain.  Specks of grease which gather on the surfaces
of the grill may give the appearance of rust, these may be
removed using a scotch-brite pad in conjunction with a
good stainless cleaner.  Remember to rub in the direction of
the grain.
