OPD EQUIPPED CYLINDER HOSE & REGULATOR
OVERFILL PREVENTION DEVICE
1. The standard for outdoor gas appliances, ANSI
Z21.58/ CAN/CGA-1.6, requires th at appliances be used
with cylinders equipped with an Overfill Prevention
Device (OPD).
2. The OPD is designed to reduce the potential for
of
the overfilling
propane cylinders, thus reducing the
possibility of relief valve discharges of raw propane. The
OPD causes a slower purge/fill operation. Some
consumers have been advised by filling stations that
these cylinders are “defective.” This is not a defect.
Some propane filling statio ns may not be aware of this
device and its effect on the purge/fill operation.
3. New OPDs coming onto the market have technology
that allows for much greater BTU outputs which will
decrease the amount of time it takes to purge a cylinder.
IDENTIFICATION
To identify these cylinders, the OPD hand whee l has
been standardized to the shape shown.
1. All models are equipped with a hose and regulator with a
QCC®-1 Quick Closing Coupling.
2. The QCC® coupling contains a magnetic Flow
Limiting Devic e 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® coupling incorporates a heat sensitive
hand wheel that will cause the back check module in the
QCC® 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® 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 cylinder valve and appliance valves are “OFF.”
2. Place full LP gas cylinder in LP tank well and secure
base as per assembly instructions.
3. Center the nipple in the 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 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
cylinder valve slowly with the appliance valves off. If
the Flow Limiting Device is accidentally activated, turn
off cylinder valve and appliance valves, wait 10 seconds
to allow the de vice to reset, open cylinder valve slowly,
then open t he app li anc e val ve.
DISCONNECTION
Always close LP cylinder valve and remove coupling nut
before moving cylinder from specified operation position.

LEAK TESTING VENTURI TUBES
All factory-made connections have been rigorously
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 the cylinder valve for leaks each time the
cylinder is filled.
• Test for leaks every time you connect a gas fitting.
• Do not smoke at any time while testing.
• Never test for leaks with a lit match or open flame.
• Test for leaks outdoors.
TO TEST FOR LEAKS:
1. Extinguish any open flame or cigarettes in the area.
2. Be sure that cylinder valve and gas grill valves are
“OFF.”
3. Connect LP gas cylinder. See “Hose and Regulator”.
(Page 5)
4. Prepare a soap solution of one part water, one part
liquid detergent.
5. With a full gas cylinder, open cylinder 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 “shut-off”
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”.
Always keep venturi tubes clean. Blockages in the venturi
tubes caused by spiders, insects and nests can cause a
flashback fire. In fact, 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.
INSPECTING & CLEANING VENTURI
TUBES
1. Turn off gas by closing the propane cylinder valve
2. When gas grill is cool, remove the burner fasteners
and the top portion of the collector box. Proceed t o lif t
the burners from the gas grill housing.
3. Clean the venturi tubes with a pipe cleaner or
venturi cleaning tool (Accessory #77310 or #18270).
4. Lower the burner into position in the gas grill
housing, making sure that the venturi tubes are correctly
aligned and fitted on the orifices.
5. Secure burners with burner fasteners.

OPERATION COOKING TECHNIQUES
Burn-off. Before cooking on your gas barbecue for the first
time, burn off the barbecue to rid it of any odours or foreign
matter as follows:
Remove cooking grids and warming rack and wash in mild
soap and water. Ignite the burner. Close the lid and
operate the barbecue for 20 minutes with the control knobs
set at "MEDIUM/HIGH". Turn the gas off at the source.
Turn the control knobs to "Off". Let the appliance cool
down, replace the grids. You are now ready to use the
appliance.
Preheating. When grilling, preheat the barbecue on
Medium/High with the lid closed for ten minutes. Reduce
heat as appropriate for what you are grilling. Scrub grids
with a wire grill brush and brush or spray the grids with
vegetable or olive oil to prevent food from sticking.
Lid Position. The position of the lid during cooking is a
matter of personal preference, but the barbecue cooks
faster, uses less gas, 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 smoke and convection cooking.
Vapourization Systems. Your gas grill is designed for use
with the Flav-R-Wave™ vapourization system (included).
Do not use lava rock, ceramic briquets or any other
vapourization system other than the one that came with the
barbecue.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
High Setting will produce temperatures at the cooking grid
of approximately 600 - 650°F (320 - 340° C). Use this
setting only for fast warm-up and for burning food residue
from the cooking grids after the cookout is over. This
setting is also ideal for quickly searing steaks before
reducing temperature. Rarely, if ever, do you use the HIGH
setting for extended cooking.
Medium/High Setting will produce temperatures at the
cooking grid of approximately 550°F (290 ° C). Use this
setting for warm-up and for grilling steaks and chops,
DIRECT GRILLING
The direct grilling method involves cooking the food on
grids directly over the flame. 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 the last 2-4
minutes of grilling to avoid burning.
2. Organize the area around the barbecue to include
forks, tongs, oven mitts, sauces and seasonings, to
allow you to stay in the vicinity of the barbecue 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 barbecue to the desired temperature with
the cover 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 barbecue.
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 the 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.
The 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.
Medium Setting will produce temperatures inside the
barbecue of approximately 450° F (230°C) with the lid
down. Use this setting for most grilling of chicken, burgers,
vegetables and for roasting, and baking.
Low Setting will produce temperatures inside the barbecue
of approximately 310- 350° F (155-175° C). Use this
setting for all smoke cooking, large cuts of meat, delicate
fish, and for dough and pastry such as pizza and
quesadillas.
These temperatures are approximate only and vary
with the outside temperature and the amount of wind
present.

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.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. When cooking without a drip pan, close attention must
be paid to avoid the risk of a grease fire and is not
recommended.
5. 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.
6. 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)
1. 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.
2. The rotisserie can be used with the cooking grids in place
if space allows.
3. 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
1. 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.
2. The spring loaded rear burner may be easily removed
when not in use.
3. To operate your rear burner, see “Lighting the Rear
Burner.” (Page 6)

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 balancer
as necessary. CAUTION: Use oven mitt when
adjusting balancer.
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 sp it 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.
• Poultry: insert the tip of the thermometer in the thickest
part of the thigh close to the body.
• Ham or roasts: insert the tip of the thermometer in the
center of the heaviest section of the meat.
USING A SPIT – LEG OF LAMB
1. Have 3” of bone sawed from small end of leg.
2. Leave meat around bone intact to form a flap.

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 a nd 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 cooki ng 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
stainless steel br istle 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 stainless
steel br istle brush and re-season
During long periods of inactivit y , 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 the grill is hot, use caution and oven mitts while handling
the stainless steel bristle brush.
Inspect the grids carefully after brushing to ensure there are
no broken 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 6).
Operate gas grill on HI GH wit h 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 5) While the burner is
removed, remove the grease shiel ds, 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 remov e stai ns 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 origin al 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)
