WARNING
NEVER cover slots, holes, or passages in the front or bottom
of the grill or cover an entire rack with material such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the grill and
may cause over heating or carbon monoxide poisoning.
First Time Use
Before cooking on your gas grill for the first time, clean the
components and preheat the appliance to rid it of any odors
or foreign matter in the following manner:
• Remove and clean the cooking grids and Flav-R-Wave™
with mild soap and water
• With cooking grids and Flav-R-Wave™ removed, light
the gas grill following lighting instructions (see Page 15)
and operate the gas grill on “Medium” for 30 minutes.
Next, turn gas source off then turn all control knobs to the
“OFF” position
• Let grill cool, then replace the Flav-R-Wave™
• Season the cooking grids by coating grids with an organic
cold processed cooking oil with a high smoke point, light
the grill and operate on Med/Low for 30 minutes
• Recommended cooking oils:
o Avocado Oil – smoke point (260C/500F)
o Rice Bran Oil – smoke point (255C/490F)
o Canola Oil – smoke point (204C/400F)
• You are ready to grill. Proceed to “Preheating”
Preheating
• Preheat the gas grill on MEDIUM with the lid closed for
15 minutes
• Clean cold grids with a nylon grill brush (Item # 65643) or
hot grids with a stainless steel wire grill brush (Item #’s
65225, 64014, 64034) and carefully inspect to ensure
there are no broken bristles left on the grid
• Coat the grids with a high smoke point cooking oil
• Adjust heat as appropriate for what you are grilling
Lid Position
The position of the lid during cooking is a matter of personal
preference, but the gas grill cooks faster, uses less fuel, and
controls the temperature best with the lid closed.
A closed lid also imparts a smokier flavor to meat cooked
directly on the grid, and is essential for smoking and
convection cooking.
Vaporization Systems
Your gas grill is designed for use with the included Flav-R-
Wave™ vaporization system. Do not use lava rock, ceramic
briquettes or any other vaporization system other than the one
that came with the gas grill.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
BROIL KING gas grills are:
• High-performance appliances capable of high searing
temperatures
• Designed with controlled airflow to retain heat and
minimize fuel consumption
Rarely, if ever, will you require the HIGH setting for
extended cooking or preheating.
High Setting
Produces temperatures at the cooking grid of approximately
700 - 750°F (370 - 400° C) with the lid down.
Use high setting only:
• For fast warm-up
• In cold or windy conditions when grilling with the lid up
• To quickly sear steaks before reducing the temperature
• To burn-off of food residue from the cooking grids and
Flav-R-Wave™ before cleaning (maximum 10 minutes)
Medium/High
Produces temperatures at the cooking grid of approximately
600°F (320° C) with the lid down.
Use medium/high setting to:
• Preheat grill for steaks
• Grill steaks rare & medium rare
Medium
Produces temperatures at the cooking grid of approximately
450° F (230°C) with the lid down.
Use medium setting to:
• Grill steaks medium and medium well
• Grill chops, burgers and vegetables
Medium/Low
Produces temperatures at the cooking grid of approximately
400° F (200°C) with the lid down.
Use medium/low setting to:
• Grill chicken pieces, sausage, fish
• Roast, bake
• Grill dough and pastry such as quesadillas
Low
Produces temperatures at the cooking grid of approximately
310- 350° F (155-175° C) with the lid down.
Use low setting to:
• Slow roast and smoke large cuts of meat, delicate fish
and for dough and pastry
Temperatures are approximate only and vary with
the
outside temperature and the amount of wind.
