PROPANE GAS GRILLS For Natural Gas Grills please proceed to page 25. 3/4” Attach the LP hose and Regulator to the fitting on the Burner Control Valve mounted on the Control Panel. Tighten this connection with a wrench.
PROPANE GAS GRILLS Grill Location Failure to follow these safety precautions could result in a fire or explosion causing property damage or personal injury. Never operate your grill in any building, garage, or other enclosed area. Never operate your grill in a recreational vehicle or boat. Never operate your grill under any combustible materials, such as carports, covered porches, awnings, or overhangs. Use extreme caution when handling propane gas cylinders. This grill is designed for outdoor use only.
PROPANE GAS GRILLS Propane Cylinder Requirements Your Broilmaster Premium Gas Grill requires a standard 20-lb propane gas cylinder, which is available from your grill dealer, your LP supplier, and at most hardware and home stores. CAUTION Do not use a propane gas cylinder which has a capacity greater than twenty pounds with this grill. ATTENTION: Propane gas cylinders must comply with Cylinder Requirements and Connection Requirements above. Note: Not all valve and cylinder combinations are compatible.
CONNECTING PROPANE GAS GRILL Pressure Regulator and Hose Assembly The pressure regulator has an outlet pressure of not more than eleven inches water column. It must be connected to the Propane gas cylinder’s female valve outlet before the grill can be operated. Make sure the grill’s burner controls are off. Open the valve on the top of the LP cylinder, while listening for leaks. If you hear a leak or smell gas, turn off the valve and retighten the connection.
CONNECTING NATURAL GAS GRILL 3/4” Attach the Natural Gas hose to the fitting on the Burner Control Valve mounted on the Control Panel. Snug this connection with a wrench.

OWNER’S MANUAL FOR H3X AND H4X GRILLS OPERATION - PROPANE AND NATURAL GAS GRILLS Check for Gas Leaks Check for gas leaks every time you connect your Broilmaster propane gas grill to a Propane gas cylinder, when a connected cylinder has not been used recently, or when either a natural or propane grill is being used for the first time. WARNING Do not use an open flame to check for leaks.
OPERATION - PROPANE AND NATURAL GAS GRILLS Before Cooking Before cooking on a grill for the first time, it should be broken in to burn off any oil residue from the manufacturing process. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Raise the grill lid. Light grill burner. Burn on HI for ten minutes. Close the lid and burn on HI for an additional ten minutes. Turn OFF gas. The grill is now ready for use. Preheating Before cooking on a gas grill, allow the grill to preheat on HI for 5 minutes with the lid closed.
MAINTENANCE Cleaning the Grill CAUTION To prevent injury, use care when cleaning a hot grill. Buy a good grill brush. Inexpensive grill brushes tend to lose their metal bristles, which can stick to your cooking grids and become embedded in foods. A grill builds up a patina of smoke residue. This “seasoning” is normal and actually enhances the flavor of your foods. If the build-up grows too thick, it can flake off and fall onto your food.
TROUBLESHOOTING Although we have attempted to ensure that your grill will operate properly and satisfactorily, sometimes problems do arise. The following troubleshooting guide lists several possible problems and their probable cause and solution. Do not repair or replace any part of the grill unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other service should be referred to a qualified technician. Problem Cause Solution Burner will not light Spider webs in venturi tubes Clean venturi tubes.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING Spiders and insects can nest in gas grill burners causing the gas ignite under the control panel. This is very dangerous and can damage the grill, making it unsafe to operate. Inspect the grill at least twice per year and more often if spiders are active. Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the grill. Some chemicals, in the presence of heat, may ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Practice Safe Grilling Do not wear loose fitting clothing or flammable clothing (such as synthetics) around the grill. Never let clothing, pot holders, or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to any grate, burner or hot surface. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury. Use only dry pot holders. Using a damp pot holder on a hot surface may cause burns from steam. Do not use towels or bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
COOKING TIPS Cook Food To Proper Temperatures Cooking food safely requires that you raise the internal temperature of the meat high enough and for a long enough period of time to kill any food-borne bacteria that may cause illnesses. Color is not the best indicator that food is safe to eat. Use a high-quality probe thermometer to be sure your food is properly cooked. Place the tip of an instant-read thermometer into the center of the thickest part of the food but at least 1/2 inch deep.
