Hello, Kateshia -
From a general article about grilling
(Quote)
You want the grill to be at least 450°F, or hot enough that you can hold your hand over the grill for just one second. High heat ensures a good sear and a crispy crust on these steaks.
. . .
Exact cooking time depends on the thickness of the steak and your personal preference. This is why a meat thermometer is handy to have. It's accurate and won't release much juice from the meat:
Rare: 125°F - 130°F
Medium-Rare: 130°F - 135°F
Medium: 140°F - 145°F
Well-Done: 160° and higher
. . .
take steaks off the grill when they're about 5° belowthe target temperature. They continue cooking a bit during the resting step, and taking it off the grill early prevents accidentally overcooking the steak.

From a tag that came with the grill -
"To ensure proper gas flow, all of the burner control valves MUST be off before opening the LP cas cylinder valve.
When turning on the LP gas cylinder valve, make sure to open the valve SLOWLY two complete turns to ensure proper gas flow.
All LP tanks now come equipped with a leak detection device internal to the tank, when gas is allowed to escape rapidly it will restrict the gas supply to the appliance. Opening the valve rapidly may simulate a gas leak, causing the safety device to activate, restricting gas flow and causing low flames or poor ignition.
Opening the valve slowly will insure this safety feature is not falsely triggered."
I would guess you triggered the tank failsafe inadvertently.

I e-mailed Salton, the manufacturer. They e-mailed me a file with the user manual. It's the same as the instructions that came with my grill.
I don't see how to attach the file to this answer. It's 44 pages of text, so I can't just copy it and insert it in this answer section.
I am willing to e-mail a copy to anyone who asks for it. (Gee, I should charge a dollar and I can retire sooner.)

SOURCE: Regulator doesn't allow gas to flow to grill
Shut off the gas at the tank and disconnect everything.
Unscrew the plastic cap on the regulator. Inside is a flat screw top that has a single slot or an X-shaped slot. This is the pressure adjustment. It controls the diaphragm that regulates gas flow.
Note where it's set. Use a Sharpie to mark the adjuster on its edge (place a dot there), and make a corresponding mark on the threads next to it.
Next, use a large screwdriver or a coin to spin the adjuster counterclockwise three or four times. Pay attention to the number of turns. Now, screw it back in (clockwise) the exact same number of turns, stopping at the index mark you made.
Next, turn the adjuster two turns clockwise, followed by two turns counterclockwise. The idea is to end up where it was originally set. This action unsticks the regulator's valve seat. Done.
Put the cap back on, hook it all up, open the tank valve, and make fire.
Oongawa!

SOURCE: what is the chain on the side of my grill for?
I have either the same grill, or one very similar (Kenmore infrared grill) and just assembled it yesterday and had the same question! I don't believe it's a safety chain. It hangs from the left front corner of the main grill body, and it has some sort of curled wire thingy on the end of the chain. The chain is definitely not thick enough to secure the grill. I looked through the assembly instructions a few times and could not find reference to what it's for. Any other ideas?
