Coleman Bonesco Gas Assist Charcoal 9909 Series Instruction Manual

To ignite the grill, first open the lid and ensure the gas valve is turned off. Connect the propane cylinder, turn on the gas valve, and press the ignition button. Once the gas burner is lit, add charcoal for a traditional grilling experience.
Check that the propane cylinder is full and properly connected. Ensure the gas valve is open and the ignition button is functioning. If the grill still doesn’t ignite, inspect the burner and ignition system for blockages or damage.
After cooking, allow the grill to cool slightly, then use a wire brush to remove food residue from the grates. For a deeper clean, remove the grates and wash them with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry before reinstalling.
Regularly inspect the gas hoses and connections for leaks or damage. Clean the burner ports with a soft brush to ensure even gas flow. Replace any worn or damaged parts promptly to maintain safety and performance.
Adjust the air vents on the grill to control airflow and temperature. Opening the vents increases temperature, while closing them reduces it. Additionally, use the gas assist to quickly adjust heat levels by controlling the gas valve.
Ensure the charcoal is dry and arranged for optimal airflow. Use the gas assist to ignite the charcoal evenly. If necessary, add more charcoal or use a charcoal chimney starter to get an even burn.
Clean the grill thoroughly and disconnect the propane cylinder. Cover the grill with a weather-resistant cover and store it in a dry, sheltered location. Regularly check for rust or damage during storage.
The Coleman Bonesco Gas Assist Charcoal Grill 9909 Series is compatible with standard 16.4 oz or 1 lb propane cylinders. Ensure the cylinder is certified and in good condition before use.
Yes, the grill can be used without the gas assist by starting the charcoal using traditional methods such as using lighter fluid or a charcoal chimney starter. The gas assist is an optional convenience.
Check for gas leaks before each use by applying a soapy water solution to the gas connections. If bubbles form, there is a leak. Tighten connections or replace faulty parts before using the grill.
