5. Installation Guide

Follow these steps to safely replace your old emitter plates and grates with the new EasiBBQ components.

Safety Precautions:

• Ensure your grill is completely cool and disconnected from its fuel source (gas tank or power outlet) before beginning.
• Wear protective gloves to prevent cuts from sharp edges or residue.

Installation Steps:

1. Open Grill Lid: Lift the grill lid to access the cooking area.
2. Remove Old Grates: Carefully lift out the existing grill grates and set them aside.
3. Remove Old Emitter Plates: Beneath the grates, you will find the emitter plates. Lift these out, noting their orientation.
4. Clean Grill Interior (Optional but Recommended): While the components are removed, it is an opportune time to clean any debris or grease from the burner tubes and grill interior.
5. Install New Emitter Plates: Place the new EasiBBQ emitter plates into the grill, ensuring they sit correctly over the burner tubes. The perforated side should face upwards.
6. Install New Grates: Carefully place the new EasiBBQ grill grates on top of the emitter plates. Ensure they are seated firmly and evenly.
7. Close Lid and Reconnect Fuel: Close the grill lid and reconnect your grill to its fuel source.

6. Usage Guidelines

With your new emitter plates and grates installed, your Charbroil TRU-Infrared grill is ready for optimal performance. Here are some tips for best results:

• Preheating: Always preheat your grill for 10-15 minutes with the lid closed to allow the emitter plates and grates to reach the desired cooking temperature.
• Temperature Control: TRU-Infrared technology provides consistent heat. Adjust burner settings as needed for different foods.
• Minimize Flare-ups: The emitter plates are designed to reduce flare-ups by vaporizing drippings. However, excessive grease can still cause some smoking. Trim excess fat from meats before grilling.
• Cleaning Before Use: For the first use, it is recommended to burn off any manufacturing residues by running the grill on high for 15 minutes, then allow it to cool and brush the grates.

7. Care and Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your EasiBBQ emitter plates and grates and ensure continued optimal grilling performance.

• After Each Use: While the grill is still warm (but not excessively hot), use a stiff-bristled grill brush to scrape off any food residue from the grates.
• Deep Cleaning (Periodically): For a more thorough cleaning, allow the grill to cool completely. Remove the grates and emitter plates. Wash them with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before placing them back in the grill.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads, as these can damage the finish and material of the components.
• Storage: If storing the grill for an extended period, ensure all components are clean and dry. Consider lightly coating the grates with cooking oil to prevent rust.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your EasiBBQ emitter plates and grates, consider the following common solutions:

• Uneven Heating: Ensure emitter plates are correctly seated and not warped. Check burner tubes for blockages or damage.
• Excessive Smoke: This is often due to accumulated grease. Perform a thorough cleaning of the emitter plates and the grill interior. Trim fat from food before grilling.
• Difficulty Cleaning: If food sticks, ensure the grill is properly preheated before placing food. For stubborn residue, try burning off at high heat for a few minutes, then brush.

If problems persist after following these steps, please refer to your original Charbroil grill manual or contact EasiBBQ customer support.
