Cuisinart CSG-700 Instruction Booklet

Before using the Cuisinart CSG-700 for the first time, wash the grates with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Then, apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the grates and heat the grill for about 15 minutes to allow the oil to bake into the surface.
After using the CSG-700, let it cool slightly and use a grill brush to clean the grates. Remove the drip tray and wash it with warm soapy water. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.
If the CSG-700 is not igniting, check the gas supply to ensure the tank is full and the valve is open. Inspect the igniter for any damage or debris, and replace the battery if applicable.
To maintain a consistent temperature, ensure the grill lid is closed during cooking. Monitor the built-in thermometer and adjust the burner settings as needed. Avoid opening the lid frequently.
Uneven heating can be caused by clogged burners. Clean the burners with a brush or needle tool to remove any debris. Ensure the grill is on a level surface and check that the flame is even across all burners.
It is recommended to clean the burners at least once a month or more frequently if you notice uneven cooking or reduced heat output.
Yes, you can use wood chips by placing them in a smoker box or foil pouch with holes and putting it directly on the burners to add a smoky flavor to your food.
Clean the grill thoroughly, remove the propane tank, and cover the grill with a weather-resistant cover. Store in a dry, sheltered area to protect it from the elements.
To prevent flare-ups, trim excess fat from meats, avoid over-oiling, and keep the grill clean from grease buildup. Use indirect heat for fatty cuts of meat.
If the temperature gauge is not working, check for any visible damage or obstructions. If damaged, it may need to be replaced. Ensure it is properly connected to the lid.
