GRILL ASSEMBLY Before You Begin Recommended Tools All Broilmaster grills require some assembly and installation. Follow all instructions unless noted to apply only to other specific models. These items are recommended for the assembly of your grill: Do NOT use power tools. If you purchased an accessory with your Broilmaster, follow the instructions provided with the accessory for assembly and installation.
PROPANE GAS GRILLS Grill Location When choosing the ideal location for your Broilmaster® Premium Gas Grill, remember this grill is designed for outdoor use ONLY. You should never install or operate your grill in any building, garage, or other enclosed area. For your safety, this grill should not be installed or operated under any combustible materials, such as carports, covered porches, awnings, or overhangs. Never install or operate your grill in or on any recreational vehicle or boat.
PROPANE GAS GRILLS Propane Cylinder Safety Liquid Propane (LP) gas has a long history of safe use when the safety precautions provided in this manual are followed. Failure to follow these safety precautions could result in a fire or explosion causing property damage or personal injury. Propane gas cylinders should always be handled, stored, and transported with extreme caution in a secured upright position. Never attempt to use or repair a propane gas cylinder that has been damaged.
PROPANE GAS GRILLS Pressure Regulator and Hose Assembly The pressure regulator has an outlet pressure of not more than eleven (11") inches water column. It must be connected to the Propane gas cylinder’s female valve outlet before the grill can be operated. Caution: Operation of a Propane gas grill without the pressure regulator and hose assembly will cause gas leaks which could lead to fire or explosion, resulting in property damage or personal injury.
NATURAL GAS GRILLS Grill Location Connection Requirements You should never install or operate your grill in any building, garage, or other enclosed area. Connect cart mounted Natural gas grills to a pre-installed gas supply line using the twelve (12’) foot flexible hose and quick disconnect kit which can be purchased from your local dealer.

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, it should be broken in to burn off any oil residue from the manufacturing process. 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. 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. This uses very little fuel and provides better flavor.
MAINTENANCE Cleaning the Grill Caution: To prevent injury, use care when cleaning a hot grill. Note: Do not use a commercial cleaner on the cooking grid. Do not brush grids while they are hot. Do not scrape grids. For baked on residue use a brass (NOT STEEL) brush on the cooking grid and other components. Burn Off This process is much like that used in self-cleaning ovens and is most efficient when completed after each use of the grill. Caution: Do not open the grill during the burn off process.
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. Gas injector not inserted in venturi tube. Clogged gas injector. Realign/engage gas injector with the venturi tube. Remove gas injector from gas control assembly and clean.

OPERATION - PROPANE & NATURAL GAS GRILLS Checking for Gas Leaks Operating Instructions Caution: Do not use an open flame when checking for leaks.

OPERATION - PROPANE & NATURAL GAS GRILLS Before Cooking Before cooking on a grill for the first time, it should be operated to burn off any oil residue from the manufacturing process. 1. 2. 3. 4. Raise the grill lid. Light grill burners. Burn on HI for ten minutes. Close the lid and burn on HI for an additional ten minutes. 5. Turn OFF gas. The grill is now ready for use.

INFRARED BURNER MAINTENANCE General Overview Proper care, maintenance and cleaning will help ensure a long life for your grill. Periodic cleaning will help avoid accumulations of flammable grease and other debris. Exterior Clean regularly with a solution of mild detergent and hot water. Touch-up paint is available from your dealer. Broilmaster protective covers are recommended. Stainless steel components can be easily cleaned with a spray-on stainless steel cleaner found in most hardware stores.
INFRARED BURNER MAINTENANCE Cooking Grids Burn Off This process is much like that used in self-cleaning ovens and is most efficient when completed after each use of the grill. Because of the high intensity of the Infrared burner, any drippings and food particles that fall onto the burner surface are immediately incinerated. However, some debris and residue may remain. To remove this residue after cooking, turn the grill on HIGH for 5-10 minutes with the hood OPEN.
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. Gas injector not inserted in venturi tube. Realign/engage gas injector with the venturi tube. Clogged gas injector. Remove gas injector from gas control assembly and clean. Obstruction in gas line.
