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. 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. 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.

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.
