LP GAS CYLINDER
The standard for outdoor gas appliances, ANSI Z21.58/
CAN/CGA-1.6, requires that LP gas cylinders used with LP gas
appliances be equipped with both
• An Overfill Prevention Device (OPD)
• A QCC®-1 Quick Closing Coupling system
OVERFILL PREVENTION DEVICE
The OPD is designed to reduce the potential of over filling propane
cylinders, thus reducing the possibility of relief valve discharges of
raw propane. The OPD causes a slower purge/fill operation.
QCC®-1 QUICK CLOSING COUPLING
The QCC®-1 system incorporates safety features required by the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Canadian
Standards Association (CSA).
• Gas will not flow until a positive connection has been made
• A thermal element will shut off the flow of gas between 240° and
300° F
• When activated, a Flow Limiting Device will limit the flow of gas
to 10 cubic feet / hour
The LP gas cylinder is not included with the Gas Grill.
Be sure to use an LP gas cylinder equipped with the OPD and the
QCC® valve.
IDENTIFICATION
The QCC®-1 valve is recognized by the external threads on the inlet
port of the LP gas cylinder valve.
The OPD hand wheel has been standardized to the shape shown.
QCC® /OPD equipped LP gas cylinders are available from your Gas
Grill Dealer.
NOTE: Any attempt to connect the regulator, by use of adapters
or any other means, to any other valve could result in damage,
fire or injury and may negate the important safety features in
the QCC®-1 system.

2. A filled LP gas cylinder is under very high pressure. Always
handle carefully and transport in the upright position. Protect
the valve from accidental damage.
3. Do not tip the LP gas cylinder while connecting it to the
regulator. Fasten the LP gas cylinder securely during
transport, use and storage.
4. If the LP gas cylinder is tipped after it is connected to the
regulator, shut off the gas, disconnect the regulator and have it
checked before using it again.
STORAGE
1. Store the LP gas cylinder outdoors in a well-ventilated place.
2. Do not store the LP gas cylinder in direct sunlight, near a
source of heat or combustion.
3. Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder in an enclosure.
Disconnected cylinders must have a dust cap installed and
must not be stored in a building, garage or any enclosed area.
4. Keep out of the reach of children.
5. When the LP gas cylinder is connected to the gas grill, the gas
grill and LP gas cylinder must be operated outside in a
properly ventilated place.
OPERATION
1. Never connect your gas grill to an LP gas cylinder without the
regulator provided, and NEVER TO AN UNREGULATED LP
GAS SUPPLY. The regulator supplied with the barbecue must
be used.
2. Always leak test the LP gas cylinder to regulator connection
when connecting the LP gas cylinder to the appliance. See
“Leak Testing” (page 5).
3. Do not operate appliance if the smell of LP gas is present.
Extinguish all flame and determine source of LP gas leak before
proceeding. Do not ignite the appliance until the LP gas leak
has been found and sealed.
4. Always shut off LP gas cylinder valve when the appliance is
not in use.
1. LP gas grills are equipped with a hose and regulator with a
QCC®-1 Quick Closing Coupling.
2. The QCC®-1 coupling contains a magnetic Flow Limiting
Device which will limit the flow of gas should there be a leak
between the regulator and the appliance valve. This device will
activate if the cylinder valve is opened while the appliance
valves are open. Be sure the appliance valves are off
before the cylinder valve is opened to prevent accidental
activation.
3. The QCC®-1 coupling incorporates a heat sensitive hand
wheel that will cause the back check module in the QCC®-1
cylinder valve to close when exposed to temperatures between
240° and 300°F. Should this occur, do not attempt to reconnect
the hand wheel. Remove hose/regulator assembly and replace
with a new one.
4. The pressure regulator is set at 11 inches WC (water
column) and is for use with LP gas only. The hose and hose
couplings comply with CGA Standard CAN 1.83. No
modifications or substitutions should be attempted.
5. Protect the hose from dripping grease and do not allow the
hose to touch any hot surface, including the base casting of
the barbecue.
6. Inspect the seal in the QCC®-1 cylinder valve when replacing
the LP gas cylinder or once per year whichever is more
frequent. Replace the seal if there is any indication of cracks,
creases, or abrasion.
7. Inspect the hose before each use. If the hose is cracked, cut,
abraded or damaged in any way, the appliance must not be
operated.
8. For repair or replacement of the hose/regulator assembly,
contact customer service.
CONNECTION
1. Be sure LP gas cylinder valve and appliance valves are “OFF.”
2. Place full LP gas cylinder in LP gas cylinder well and secure as
per assembly instructions.
3. Center the nipple in the LP gas cylinder valve and hold in
place. Using other hand, turn the hand wheel clockwise until
there is a positive stop. Do not use tools. Hand tighten only.
When making the connection, hold the regulator in a parallel
with the LP gas cylinder valve, so as not to cross thread the
connection.
4. Leak test connections. See “Leak Testing” (Page 5).
5. Refer to lighting instructions. To avoid activating the
Flow Limiting Device when lighting, open LP gas cylinder
valve slowly with the appliance valves off. If the Flow
Limiting Device is accidentally activated, turn LP cylinder valve
off then turn all burners to OFF position. Disconnect the
regulator from the cylinder. Wait two minutes. Re-attach
regulator to the cylinder. Open the cylinder valve slowly. Wait
one minute. Light grill as per “Lighting” (page 7).
DISCONNECTION
Always close LP gas cylinder valve and remove coupling nut before
moving LP gas cylinder from specified operation position.

LEAK TESTING
All factory-made connections have been carefully tested for gas
leaks. However, shipping and handling may have loosened a gas
fitting.
AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION:
• Test all fittings for leaks before using your gas grill
• Test for leaks every time you disconnect and reconnect a
gas fitting, at least once per year or after any period of
nonuse
• Do not smoke while testing
• Never test for leaks with a lit match or open flame.
• Test for leaks outdoors.
TO TEST FOR LEAKS:
1. Prepare a soap solution of one part water, one part liquid
detergent.
2. Extinguish any open flame or cigarettes in the area.
3. Make sure that gas grill valves are “OFF.”
4. Make sure that cylinder valve is “OFF.”
5. With a full gas cylinder, open cylinder valve slowly.
6. Brush the soap solution on each connection.
7. A leak is identified by a flow of bubbles from the area of the
leak.
8. If a leak is detected, close the gas cylinder valve or the gas
supply valve, tighten the connection and retest.
9. If the leak persists, contact your gas grill dealer for assistance.
Do not attempt to operate appliance if a leak is present.
If your gas grill is equipped with a side burner or rear
burner:
1. Follow steps 1 - 5 above
2. Place fingertip over the opening in the orifice at the end of
hose.
3. Turn “SIDE”/”REAR” control to “HIGH.”
4. Brush soap solution on each connection between orifice and
control valve.
5. Turn “SIDE”/”REAR” control to “OFF”.

VENTURI TUBES
• Always keep venturi tubes clean
• Blockages in the venturi tubes caused by spiders, insects and
nests can cause a flashback fire
• Although the gas grill may still light, the backed up gas can
ignite and cause a fire around the venturi tubes at the control
panel or the side burner
If a flashback fire occurs, turn off gas at the source
immediately
Inspect and clean the venturi tubes (main burner, side burner,
rear burner) if any of the following symptoms occur:
1. You smell gas.
2. Your gas grill does not reach temperature.
3. Your gas grill heats unevenly.
4. The burners make popping noises.

OPERATION
WARNING
NEVER cover slots, holes, or passages in the front or bottom of the
grill or cover an entire rack with material such as aluminum foil.
Doing so blocks air flow through the grill and may cause over heating
or carbon monoxide poisoning.
First Time Use
Before cooking on your gas grill for the first time, clean the
components and preheat the appliance to rid it of any odors or
foreign matter in the following manner:
• Remove and clean the cooking grids and Flav-R-Wave™ with
mild soap and water
• With cooking grids and Flav-R-Wave™ removed, light the gas
grill following lighting instructions (see Page 15) and operate the
gas grill on “Medium” for 30 minutes. Next, turn gas source off
then turn all control knobs to the “OFF” position
• Let grill cool, then replace the Flav-R-Wave™
• Season the cooking grids by coating grids with an organic cold
processed cooking oil with a high smoke point, light the grill
and operate on Med/Low for 30 minutes
• Recommended cooking oils:
o Avocado Oil – smoke point (260C/500F)
o Rice Bran Oil – smoke point (255C/490F)
o Canola Oil – smoke point (204C/400F)
• You are ready to grill. Proceed to “Preheating”
Preheating
• Preheat the gas grill on MEDIUM with the lid closed for 15
minutes
• Clean cold grids with a nylon grill brush (Item # 65643) or hot grids
with a stainless steel wire grill brush (Item #’s 65225, 64014,
64034) and carefully inspect to ensure there are no broken
bristles left on the grid
• Coat the grids with a high smoke point cooking oil
• Adjust heat as appropriate for what you are grilling
Lid Position
The position of the lid during cooking is a matter of personal
preference, but the gas grill cooks faster, uses less fuel, and controls
the temperature best with the lid closed.
A closed lid also imparts a smokier flavor to meat cooked directly on
the grid, and is essential for smoking and convection cooking.
Vaporization Systems
Your gas grill is designed for use with the included Flav-R-Wave™
vaporization system. Do not use lava rock, ceramic briquettes or any
other vaporization system other than the one that came with the gas
grill.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
BROIL KING gas grills are:
• High-performance appliances capable of high searing
temperatures
• Designed with controlled airflow to retain heat and minimize fuel
consumption
Rarely, if ever, will you require the HIGH setting for extended
cooking or preheating.
High Setting
Produces temperatures at the cooking grid of approximately 700 750°F (370 - 400° C) with the lid down.
Use high setting only:
• For fast warm-up
• In cold or windy conditions when grilling with the lid up
• To quickly sear steaks before reducing the temperature
• To burn-off food residue from the cooking grids and Flav-R-
Wave™ before cleaning (maximum 10 minutes)
Medium/High

USE SAME TECHNIQUE AS THE PERFECT STEAK GRILLING GUIDE
DIRECT GRILLING
The direct grilling method involves cooking the food on grids directly
over a lit burner. Direct grilling is the most popular method for most
single serving items such as steaks, chops, fish, burgers, kebabs
and vegetables.
1. Prepare food in advance to avoid delay and timing problems. If
using marinade or spices, they should be applied before placing
meat on the cooking grid. If basting with sauces, they should be
applied in the last 2-4 minutes of grilling to avoid burning.
2. Organize the area around the gas grill to include forks,
tongs, oven mitts, sauces and seasonings to allow you to stay
in the vicinity of the gas grill while cooking.
3. Bring meat to room temperature just prior to grilling. Trim
excess fat from meat to minimize the “flare-ups” that are caused
by dripping grease.
4. Pre-heat the gas grill to the desired temperature with the lid
closed.
5. Coat the grids with vegetable or olive oil to prevent food from
sticking to the grids.
6. Hold the salt when cooking meats on the gas grill. The meat
will stay juicier if the salt is added after cooking.
7. To prevent steaks from “drying out,” use tongs rather than a fork
and start on “MEDIUM/HIGH” to sear the meat and seal juices
in. Reduce the heat and extend cooking times when grilling
thicker cuts of meat.
8. Learn to test when the meat is done by time and feel. Meat firms
up as it cooks. When the meat is soft it is rare. When it is firm, it
is well done.
9. Follow the perfect steak grilling guide for most meat, fish,
poultry and vegetables.

FOR BEST RESULTS, USE A MEAT THERMOMETER
INDIRECT CONVECTION COOKING
This method is ideal for cooking large cuts of meat such as roasts
or poultry. The food is cooked by hot air circulating around it.
• For most applications of convection cooking with and without a
rotisserie, a drip pan is recommended to catch the drippings.
Place drip pan on top of the Flav-R-Wave, beneath center of
food. Put half to one inch of water in the drip pan. Fruit juice,
wine or marinade may also be added to enhance the flavor. Do
not let the drip pan run dry
• Convection cooking without a rotisserie is best with the lid
closed and the heat reduced. All burners can be set to low or
the outside burners can be set to medium and the middle
burner(s) can be turned off. Turning the center burner off will
prevent juices in the drip pan from burning
• Prior to placing the meat on the gas grill, baste the meat with
vegetable oil. This will enhance browning on the outside of the
meat
• When cooking without a drip pan, close attention must be paid
to avoid the risk of a grease fire and is not recommended
• Turn gas grill off and allow it to cool before removing drip pan.
The fat drippings are highly flammable and must be handled
carefully to avoid injury
• For convection cooking roasts and poultry without a rotisserie,
put meat in a roasting rack directly on grids
ROTISSERIE COOKING
Follow the steps for Indirect Convection Cooking. (See left)
• The rotisserie can accommodate up to 7 kg (15lb) of meat with
the limiting factor of rotating clearance. For best results the
meat should be centered on the center line of spit to eliminate
an out-of-balance condition
• The rotisserie can be used with the cooking grids in place if
space allows
• Fasten the meat securely on the spit prior to placing it on the
gas grill. For poultry, tie the wings and legs in tightly
REAR BURNER ROTISSERIE
• Certain models feature a rear burner for rotisserie cooking. The
rear burner rotisserie method is the ultimate for cooking roasts
and poultry. With the heat source located behind the food, there
is no chance of a flare up caused by fat drippings. A dish or drip
pan placed below the spit will collect the juices for basting or for
preparing a sauce
• The spring loaded rear burner may be easily removed when not
in use
• To operate your rear burner, see “Lighting the Rear Burner.”
(Page 7)

COOKING TECHNIQUES
SPIT BALANCE
1. Loosen the rod handle to allow the balance to turn freely.
2. Set the rotisserie rod in the slots of the gas grill casting. Let the
heaviest side of the meat rotate to the bottom.
3. Adjust the balance to the top of the rod, opposite the heaviest
side of the meat.
4. Tighten the rod handle. Periodically, check to see if the meat
turns smoothly while cooking. Adjust the spit balance as
necessary.
CAUTION: Use oven mitt when adjusting spit balance.
HOW TO USE A PROBE THERMOMETER
1. The accurate way to determine when a large piece of meat is
done is to use a probe thermometer. Insert the thermometer at
an angle so the sturdy pointed metal tip rests in the center of
the thickest part of the meat. Be careful that it doesn’t touch
the spit or the bone, and that the point is not resting in fat
(you will notice much less resistance when probing in fat).
2. When the thermometer displays the desired temperature the
meat is done. Add your sauces during the last few minutes of
cooking time and let the meat stand about 15 minutes to firm
up. Carve and serve.

MAINTENANCE
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
To ensure optimal performance and safety, the following
components should be inspected and cleaned as required before
use of your gas grill.
COOKING GRIDS - CAST IRON, CAST STAINLESS & HEAVY
ROD STAINLESS
BROIL KING® Deep V cast iron and cast stainless cooking grids
provide unsurpassed heat retention and grilling performance.
BROIL KING® Heavy Rod stainless grids provide maximum
durability and good heat retention and good grilling performance.
BROIL KING® cast iron grids are coated with a porcelain enamel
finish to protect the grids and reduce the tendency of food sticking
to grids. Regular use and care improves performance and longevity
of the grids.
For optimum performance:
• Before first use and after long periods of storage, wash grids
using a light detergent and water and then rinse and dry with
paper towel; never air dry grids or use a dishwasher
• Immediately after washing, season cooking grids by coating
grids with an organic cold pressed cooking oil with a high
smoke point, light the grill and operate on Med/Low for 30
minutes. Recommended cooking oils:
o Avocado Oil – smoke point (260C/500F)
o Rice Bran Oil – smoke point (255C/490F)
o Canola Oil – smoke point (204C/400F)
• Before and after each use, brush grids with a good quality grill
brush (Item #’s 65225, 64014, 64034) and lightly coat with a
high smoke point cooking oil. This will continue the seasoning
process
• Use medium heat settings to preheat and grill to avoid
burning off the protective seasoned coating
• Avoid applying sugar based marinades or salt to meat before
grilling, apply sugar based marinades at end of grilling and salt
after grilling
• Use oil based marinades, avoid water based marinades
• Lightly coat food with cooking oil of your choice before grilling
• Turn and rotate your grids periodically
• Ensure the surface of the grid is always coated with a light
layer of oil. This helps prevent rust and deterioration and
improves the grids non-stick performance
• If rust does occur, Burn-Off the grid, brush with a good quality
grill brush and re-season
During long periods of inactivity, grids should be seasoned, then
stored in a dry place. The grids may be wrapped in protective
plastic food wrap. After periods of storage, Burn-Off grids, wash,
dry with paper towel and re-season with high smoke point cooking
oil.
WARNING:
If you brush the grids with a stainless steel bristle grill brush.
• If the grill is hot, use caution and oven mitts to protect
your hands.
• Inspect the grids carefully after brushing to ensure there
are no broken stainless steel bristles left on the grid.
GREASE TRAY
The grease tray is in the pull out drawer located under the control
panel. Clean regularly.
FLAV-R-WAVE™
The Flav-R-Wave™ is designed to generate smoke and vapor from
the food drippings in order to provide that authentic barbecue flavor
while protecting the burner. If residue accumulates on the Flav-RWave™, remove the cooking grids and scrape the residue off the
Flav-R-Wave™ with the grid lifter. (Part # 60745)
GENERAL CLEANING
Perform a Burn-Off (see below).
When gas grill is cool, remove grids, scrape the Flav-R-Wave™
clean with grid lifter then remove the Flav-R-Wave™.
Clean the interior of the gas grill as necessary by scraping the sides
and bottom of the cook box with the grid lifter and vacuum residue.
Rust is a natural oxidation process and may appear on internal
stainless steel parts. Rust will not affect performance of your grill.
BURN-OFF
Ignite the burners as per “Lighting” (page 7).
Operate gas grill on HIGH with lid closed for 10 minutes maximum.
Turn the gas source off then turn control knobs to OFF.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
The following components should be inspected and cleaned at
least once a year or after any period of storage over 30 days to
ensure optimal performance, safety and efficiency.
BURNER
Remove burner and inspect for cracks and deterioration. Clean
venturi tubes using a pipe cleaner or venturi brush to eliminate any
blockages. See “Venturi Tubes.” (Page 6) While the burner is
removed, remove the grease shields, clean the interior of cook box
by scraping the sides and bottom of the cook box and vacuuming.
HOSE
Inspect and replace if necessary. For propane see “Hose and
Regulator.” (Page 4)
EXTERIOR ALUMINUM COMPONENTS
If white oxidation spots appear, wash the outside of the aluminum
cook box with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse the surfaces
thoroughly then wipe them with a cloth dipped in cooking oil to
restore the luster. For repair of paint scratches and scuffs, use a
good quality HIGH temperature (600°F) spray paint for touch-up.
STAINLESS STEEL & PORCELAIN COMPONENTS
Wash with soap and water. Use stainless steel cleaner or “Bar
Keepers Friend” to polish and remove stains or rust marks if they
occur. Weathering and extreme heat can cause a stainless steel lid
to turn a tan color. This is discoloration and is not considered a
manufacturing defect.
RESIN COMPONENTS AND SIDE SHELVES
Wash with soap and water.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
If a problem is found with the regulator, hose, burner, or control
valves, do not attempt repair. See your dealer, approved service
center, or contact the factory for repairs or replacement parts. To
ensure optimum performance, use only original BROIL KING®
replacement parts.
LEAK TEST
When reconnecting a gas cylinder on propane models, be sure to
check for leaks. See “Leak Testing.” (Page 5)
