Assembly Steps:
- Unpack all components from the box. The grill comes largely pre-assembled.
- Place the heat shield and TRU-Infrared grates into their designated positions within the grill body. These components are designed to fit without tools.
- Attach the propane regulator to the grill. Align the dot on the regulator with the notch on the pipe and twist to secure it firmly.
- Connect a 1-pound propane gas tank to the regulator. Ensure a tight seal to prevent leaks.
- Insert the removable grease tray into its slot at the front of the grill.

Initial Burn-Off:
Before cooking food for the first time, it is recommended to perform an initial burn-off to eliminate any manufacturing oils or residues. Light the burner and set it to high for approximately 15 minutes. This process will burn off any shipping grease and prepare the grill for use.

Amplifire Cooking Technology:
The Amplifire cooking system utilizes an emitter plate that transfers heat from the flame directly to the grate. This system vaporizes drippings, sending flavor back into your food, and virtually eliminates flare-ups while producing very even heat across the 200 sq. inch cooking surface.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Charbroil Grill2Go X200.
Cleaning the Grates:
The porcelain-coated steel grates are designed to resist rust and are easy to clean. After cooking, allow the grill to cool slightly. Use the provided cleaning tool to scrape off any burnt-on food particles. For best results, perform a burn-off for 10-15 minutes after cooking to carbonize residues, then scrape once cooled.

Grease Tray:
The removable grease tray catches oil drippings and slides out for easy cleaning. Regularly empty and clean the grease tray to prevent buildup and maintain hygiene.
General Care:
The grill's durable steel construction with a black porcelain finish helps extend its life. Store the grill in a dry, protected area when not in use. The stainless steel latches ensure the lid remains securely closed during transport, protecting internal components.
Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and potential solutions for your Grill2Go X200.
Grill Runs Too Hot:
Some users have reported that the grill can reach very high temperatures (e.g., over 600°F) even on the lowest setting. This can make it challenging to cook delicate foods or maintain lower temperatures for longer cooks.
- Check Regulator Connection: Ensure the propane regulator is securely attached and not cross-threaded. A loose connection can sometimes affect gas flow.
- Ventilation: For very high heat, consider cooking with the lid slightly ajar or fully open for certain foods, especially if searing is not desired.
- Contact Support: If the issue persists and you are unable to control the temperature effectively, contact Char-Broil customer support for further assistance.
Missing or Damaged Parts:
In rare instances, products may arrive with missing or damaged components due to transit or manufacturing. If you encounter this, please:
- Inspect Upon Arrival: Carefully inspect all contents of the package immediately upon receipt.
- Contact Retailer/Manufacturer: Reach out to the retailer where you purchased the grill or directly to Char-Broil customer service with your order details and a description of the issue.
