Briquets
Individually place the ‘Char-Master’ briquets in a
single layer evenly on your grill’s briquet rack;
DO NOT dump them onto the briquet rack. A
single layer of ‘Char-Master’ briquets is all that’s
needed. DO NOT overlap or stack the briquets.
See FIGURE 17.
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 postheating) of a grill will clean the ‘Char-
Master’ briquets. Periodically turn the briquets
over while they are cool.

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. 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, garage, 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 SUPPLIER.
Installation must conform to local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. In Canada, installation
shall be in accordance with CAN/CGA-B149.2
Propane Installation Code, or CAN/CGA-B149.1
Natural Gas Installation Code, and local codes
where applicable. Consult your local gas
supplier or propane gas dealer for code
regulations and recommended procedures.
WARNING: BROILMASTER® PREMIUM GAS GRILLS
REQUIRE LIQUID 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
compatible. 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 19.
Connection Requirements
FIGURE 19
Page 14 P3, P4
Connecting to Propane Gas
Position the cylinder in the opening in the bottom of
the cart and secure with the cylinder retaining
bracket. FIGURE 20.
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. FIGURE 21.
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 cylinder’s valve and the grill’s control
valve. Remove the regulator by turning the
plastic handwheel counterclockwise.
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.
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 specified by the manufacturer.

GAS CONVERSION
Propane grills include a conversion kit for
natural gas. If you have a natural grill and wish
to convert it to propane you will need to
purchase the optional conversion kit #CK195.
Begin by removing all the components from the
inside of your grill. Locate and remove the
orifice hoods mounted on the underside of the
grill body. FIGURE 20.
Gas Conversion
Before installing the natural hoods, inspect them
for damage and note the number stamped on
the side. The correct hood will be marked "48".
The hoods are self-sealing, requiring no
additional pipe sealant. If you wish to use
sealant, take care to add it to the threads only to
avoid blocking the orifice.
Thread the hoods onto the supply tubes leaving
about a 1/8" gap between the hood and the
locking nut. FIGURE 21.
ORIFICE HOOD SUPPLY TUBE
HOSE AND
REGULATOR
Remove the hose and regulator from the valve.
Replace the components inside of your grill.
Remove the knobs from the valve assembly and
locate the adjustment screws on the inside of the
valve stem. Using a small screw driver, turn the
screws four (4) turns counterclockwise. Do not
back the screws out more than 4 1/2 turns or a
leak may result. FIGURE 22.
Connect the grill to the natural gas supply.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE LIGHTING YOUR GRILL, CHECK
THE GAS CONNECTIONS AND THE ADJUSTMENT SCREWS
FOR LEAKS USING A SOAPY WATER SOLUTION.

OPERATION
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 electrical
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 broken in to burn off any oil residue
from the manufacturing process.
1. Raise the grill lid.
2. Light grill burner.
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 hot briquette cook
quicker and provide 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.

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. 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 flare guard
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
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.
Venturi Tubes
The 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
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 venturi tubes as follows:
1. Remove the cooking grids and briquette rack.
2. Remove the burner from the grill.
3. Lay the burner face down and remove the four
retaining screws from the venturi tube plate
and the burner. FIGURE 24.
4. Use a small flexible brush to remove any
debris for the tube(s).
5. Flush with water.
6. Allow the tube(s)
to dry before
reinstalling.
7. Reinstall the
venturi tubes
and burner.
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.
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.
