all that’s needed. DO NOT overlap or stack the briquets.
See Figure 12.
After properly placing the ‘Char-Master’ briquets on your
grill’s briquet rack, there may be some briquets left over.
Save them for future use.
Before cooking, always preheat the grill as directed by the
grill’s operating instructions. Hot briquets cause better,
quicker cooking and better flavor.
Cleaning
Routine preheating and routine burn-off (also called post
heating) of a grill will clean the ‘Char-Master’ briquets. Pe-
riodically turn the briquets over while they are cool.

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. Never attempt to use or repair a cylinder with
a faulty or damaged valve outlet. A cylinder that has been
dropped, dented, or otherwise damaged must be replaced.
A propane gas cylinder should never be transported in the
passenger area of a vehicle.
Keep cylinders out of direct sunlight and never apply any
other source of direct heat to them.
When refilling your cylinder, always insist on a reputable,
qualified gas dealer. Your propane gas cylinder is filled by
weight, and should never exceed eighty (80%) percent of its
weight limit. If the cylinder is not completely empty, the gas
dealer must make necessary adjustments to ensure it is not
overfilled. Never use an overfilled Propane gas cylinder.
Cylinder Storage
Your grill must be stored outdoors in a well ventilated area
if the cylinder is attached to it.
Disconnected cylinders must have a threaded valve plug
tightly installed and must not be stored in any building, ga-
rage, or other enclosed area.
Flammable materials (gasoline, grill covers, etc.) must not
be stored in the cylinder enclosure.
Always store Propane cylinders in a secured upright position,
out of the reach of children.
Caution: Never use Liquid Propane (LP) gas in a grill
designed for Natural gas, or Natural gas in a grill designed
for Liquid Propane gas. Questions regarding different
types of gases should be directed to your local gas sup-
plier.
Installation must conform to local codes or in the absence of
local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA
B149.1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2.
Warning: Broilmaster Premium Gas Grills require Liq-
uid Propane (LP) cylinders equipped with an Overfill
Protection Device (OPD). An overfilled or improperly
filled Propane cylinder can be dangerous.
Always use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied
with your Propane gas grill.
Note: Not all valve and cylinder combinations are compat-
ible. Check warning tag on valve and cylinder as well as
external fitting threads.
All Broilmaster pressure regulators and hose assemblies
require Propane cylinders with a Type 1 connection device
as illustrated. Figure 14.
Connection Requirements
Figure 14
PROPANE GAS GRILLS

Page 15B101361-0-1008
Connecting to Propane Gas / Cylinder Retention Means
Position the cylinder in the opening in the bottom of the cart and secure with the cylinder retaining bracket. Figure 15.
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 male 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.
The pressure regulator’s fitting must remain clean and free of nicks and scratches. A dirty, nicked or scratched fitting can
cause a gas leak, resulting in an explosion or fire. Use only genuine Broilmaster replacement parts unless otherwise speci-
fied by the manufacturer.
Pressure Regulator and Hose Assembly
Attach the pressure regulator to the Propane gas cylinder’s
valve using the plastic handwheel. Tighten in a clockwise
motion to achieve a gas tight seal. See Figure 16.
Caution: Do not use a wrench or any other tool to
tighten. Use of a wrench or other tool will damage the
plastic handwheel.
To disconnect the Propane gas cylinder, turn OFF the cylin-
der’s valve and the grill’s control valve. Remove the regulator
by turning the plastic handwheel counterclockwise.
When not in use, the cylinder's valve must be closed.
Attention: Propane gas cylinders that are acceptable for use
with this grill must comply with "Cylinder Requirements"
section (Page 13) and "Connection Requirements" section

Operating Instructions
Before each use, inspect all hoses. If it is evident there is
excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be
replaced prior to using your Broilmaster grill. Call your local
Broilmaster dealer for a replacement.
Using the Ignitor
Caution: If a burner fails to light after 5 seconds, turn
the burner OFF for 5 minutes, to allow the gas to clear,
then try again.
Note: Each burner must be lit individually.
1. Turn knob on the grill CLOCKWISE to the OFF posi-
tion.
2. Turn ON gas at the source.
3. With the grill lid open, push and turn the burner control
knob COUNTERCLOCKWISE to Hi.
4. Push and hold the ignitor button until the burner lights
(approximately 5 seconds).
5. If a burner does not light, turn OFF all gas and refer to
the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for other burner.

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. Use dish washing liquid and a little water to make a soapy
solution.
2. Turn OFF the knob on the control panel.
3. Turn ON the gas at the supply or cylinder. A hissing sound
indicates a leak. Turn OFF the gas and repair the leak.
4. Apply the soapy water solution to all gas connections.
5. Look for bubbles. Bubbles indicate a leak.
6. If there are bubbles turn OFF the gas and repair the
leak.
7. Turn the gas back ON and repeat the above procedures
until all leaks are repaired.
Air Shutter Adjustment
The burner (venturi) tube air shutter is preset at the factory
so that after five minutes the burner flames are blue with well
defined cones. If, after five minutes the flame is yellow, or
there is a gap between the burner and the flame, adjust the
burner (venturi) tube air shutter as follows:
1. Turn gas OFF and let the burner cool.
2. Beneath the control panel you can access the air shutter(s)
which are located on the end of the burner tubes.
3. Loosen shutter set screw
4. Close the air shutter to the minimum opening.
5. Light the burner, wait five minutes and then carefully open
the air shutter until the flame is blue and well defined.
6. Retighten the set screw.

Electrical Accessories
If an electrical accessory (e.g. rotisserie) is used on your grill,
the accessory must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. In Canada, the elec-
trical accessory must be electrically grounded in accordance
with the applicable section of the current Canadian Electrical
Code, CSA C22.1.
Any electrical accessory should be equipped with a three-
prong (grounding) plug, and plugged into a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle or wall outlet. Do not cut or remove
the grounding prong from the plug.
If an extension cord is required, use only a three-prong cord
and plug into a properly grounded receptacle as described
above.
Do not expose an electrical accessory to water. Avoid using
any electrical accessory in wet weather as it may present a
shock hazard.
Keep any electrical cord and fuel supply hose away from all
heated surfaces.
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. Raise the grill lid.
2. Light grill burners.
3. Burn on HI for ten minutes.
4. 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.
Cooking
Broilmaster is happy to provide a cookbook with each of
its grills. The cookbook contains helpful cooking tips and
instructions as well as great tasting recipes for preparing
many delicious foods on your grill.

Cleaning the Grill
Caution: To prevent injury, use care when cleaning a
hot grill.
Note: Do not use a commercial cleaner on the cooking
grids. Do not brush grids while they are hot. Do not
scrape grids. This can damage the porcelain coating and
void the warranty on the cooking 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. Opening the grill during the burn off process
may cause a sudden grease fire flare up that could burn
your face and arms. Wait until the grill has cooled before
opening.
1. Turn gas knob to HI. Close lid and allow the grill to
burn for ten minutes, or until no smoke is present. Do
not allow the grill to burn for more than 30 minutes.
2. Turn gas knob and supply to OFF and allow the grill to
cool.
3. Wipe COOL grill with a damp cloth to remove soot.
Grill Bottom
Periodically remove cooking grids and Char-Master Briquets
or flavor screen to clean the interior of the grill. Scrape off
baked on residue with a putty knife or brass brush and rinse
with water. Clean the bottom air holes with a small knife.
Burner Maintenance
Visually inspect the burner flames with each use. Five minutes
after lighting, the flames should be blue and have well defined
cones. See Figure 21. See the troubleshooting section if the
flames are yellow or lift off the burner.
Stainless steel burners often turn reddish brown after use.
This does not effect the performance of the grill. When
cleaning the interior of the grill, remove the burners and clean
with a brass brush. Wash with water and a mild detergent.
Grease Tray
Empty periodically. Replacement tray liners can be
purchased at most supermarkets where disposable aluminum
baking pans are displayed.
Burner (Venturi) Tubes
The burner (venturi) tubes allow air and gas to mix prior
to burning, thus ensuring an efficient flame. Spiders or
other small insects may build webs or nests inside the
tubes obstructing air flow. Fire, or flashback, can occur,
in and/or around obstructed burner (venturi) tubes and can
cause damage to components beneath the grill or an unsafe
condition. To reduce risk, inspections and cleaning should
be performed at least twice monthly when spiders are active.
If the grill has been unused for an extended period of time
inspect the tubes before using the grill.
Clean burner (venturi) tubes as follows:
1. Remove the cooking grids and briquette rack or flavor
screen.
2. Remove the burner from the grill.
3. Use a small flexible brush to remove any debris from the
burner (venturi) tube.
4. Flush with water.
5. Allow the burner (venturi) tube to dry before
reinstalling.
6. Reinstall the burner, briquet rack and briquets or flavor
screen, and cooking grids.
Exterior
Clean regularly with a solution of mild detergent and hot
water. Touch-up paint is available from your dealer. Broil-
master protective covers are recommended. Stainless steel
components can be easily cleaned with a spray-on stainless
steel cleaner found in most hardware stores.
Char-Master Briquettes
If the briquettes did not come clean during burn off, after
cooling turn them over. The residue will burn off during
warm-up for the next use.
