It must be connected to the Propane gas cylinder’s valve outlet before the grill can be operated.

OPERATION - PROPANE & NATURAL GAS GRILLS Checking 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. Caution: Do not use an open flame when checking for leaks. Checking for leaks with an open flame may lead to a fire or explosion, resulting in property damage or personal injury. To check for gas leaks: 1.
OPERATION Before Cooking Before cooking on a grill for the first time, burn off any manufacturing process oil residue. 1. 2. 3. 4. 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. 5. The grill is now ready for use. Preheating Before cooking on a gas grill, allow the grill to preheat on HI for 15 minutes with the lid closed. This uses very little fuel and provides better flavor.
MAINTENANCE Cleaning the Grill Bucket Note: Do not use a commercial cleaner on the cooking grid. Do not brush grids while they are hot. Do not scrape grids. Venturi Tubes Caution: To prevent injury, use care when cleaning a hot grill. Grids and Drip Pan The grids are made of high quality stainless steel and should be brushed with a brass brush while the grill is still warm. The drip pan is made of high quality stainless steel as well and can be cleaned with a scraping tool.
TROUBLESHOOTING Although the manufacturer has 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. Problem Cause Solution Burner will not light. Out of gas Refill LP gas cylinder. If natural model, turn on gas at source. Gas injector not inserted in venturi tube. Realign/engage gas injector with the venturi tube. Clogged gas injector.
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.
COOKING TIPS Grilling 1. Place the cooking grids in the low position. 2. Preheat your grill with both valve knobs set to High for 15 minutes. We recommend that when grilling, the valve knobs should remain on high. This cooking method is great for hamburgers, steaks, chops, etc. Roasting When roasting it is important to remember that it is just like cooking in your oven. Hint: You may want to fill the drip pan with water or a marinade to create more flavor and moisture. 1.
