OPERATION IMPORTANT! Initial Use: The first time you use your Broilmaster Charcoal Grill, keep the cooking temperature between 350 to 400 degrees maximum. This will season the paint and set gasket glues properly. Let burn for at least 60 minutes at 350 to 400 degrees to burn off any manufacturing oils and paints before placing food on the grill. Never use grill without ash pan in place. Lighting Instructions 1. Follow the instructions below to build a fire.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING WARNING Never clean a hot grill. Make sure that the grill is cool and all coals are completely extinguished prior to removing any parts. A hot grill could cause severe burns. WARNING Accumulated grease is a fire hazard. Empty ash tray before each use and clean any grease build-up as needed. Gasket The gasket material installed on the lid and doors is designed to last for years under normal use.
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.
