B101623-5-1012Page 18
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
re 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 relling your cylinder, always insist on a reputable, qualied gas dealer. Your propane gas cylinder is lled by weight, and should
never exceed eighty percent (80%) of its weight limit. If the cylin­der is not completely empty, the gas dealer must make necessary
adjustments to ensure it is not overlled. Never use an overlled
Propane gas cylinder.
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 Overll Protection Device (OPD). An overlled or improperly lled Propane cyl-
inder 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 tting
threads.
All Broilmaster® pressure regulators and hose assemblies require Propane cylinders with a Type 1 connection device as illustrated.
See Figure 1.

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 rst time.
Caution: Do not use an open ame when checking for leaks. Checking for leaks with an open ame may lead to a re or
explosion, resulting in property damage or personal injury.
To check for gas leaks:
1. Use dish washing liquid and a little water to make a soapy solu­tion.
2. Turn OFF the knob on the control panel.
3. Turn ON the gas at the supply or cylinder. A hissing sound indicates a leak. Turn OFF the gas and repair the leak.
4. Apply the soapy water solution to all gas connections.
5. Look for bubbles. Bubbles indicate a leak.
6. If there are bubbles turn OFF the gas and repair the leak.
7. Turn the gas back ON and repeat the above procedures until all leaks are repaired.
Air Shutter Adjustment
The venturi air shutter(s) are preset at the factory so that after ve minutes the burner ames are blue with well dened cones. If, after ve minutes the ame is yellow, or there is a gap between the burner and the ame, adjust the venturi air shutter as follows:
1. Turn gas OFF and let the burner cool.
2. Loosen shutter set screw
3. Close the air shutter to the minimum opening.
4. Light the burner, wait ve minutes and then carefully open the air shutter until the ame is blue and well dened.
5. Retighten the set screw.
Operating Instructions
Using the Ignitor
Caution: If a burner fails to light after 5 seconds, turn the burner OFF for 5 minutes, to allow the gas to clear, then try again.

OPERATION
Before Cooking
Before cooking on a grill for the rst 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 provides better avor.
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.

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 efcient 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 re are 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.
Venturi Tubes
The venturi tubes allow air and gas to mix prior to burning, thus
ensuring an efcient ame. Spiders or other small insects may build webs or nests inside the tubes obstructing air ow. Fire, or ashback, 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. See Figure 23.
4. Use a small exible 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.
Grill Bottom
Periodically remove cooking grids and are 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 Cup
Empty periodically.
Figure 23 Note: Bowtie burner is shown. Follow the same steps for the H burner assembly.
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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Safety Practices to Avoid Personal Injury
When properly cared for your Broilmaster Infrared Grill will give safe, reliable service for many years. However, extreme care must be used since the grill produces intense heat, which can increase accident potential. When using this appliance, basic safety prac­tices must be followed, including the following:
Read this Installation Instructions and Owner's Manual care­fully and completely before using your grill to reduce the risk
of re, burn hazard or other injury.
Begin by ensuring proper assembly.
Do not repair or replace any part of the grill unless specically
recommended in this manual. All other service should be referred
to a qualied technician.
For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose tting garments
or sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some
synthetic fabrics are highly ammable and should not be worn while cooking. Never let clothing, pot holders or other ammable
materials come in contact with or too close to any grate, burner or hot surface until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
Use only dry pot holders: moist or damp pot holders on hot sur­faces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot holders touch hot por­tions of the grilling grids.
Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthen­ware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. Use of these types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes.
Grease is ammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to
handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the bottom of the grill. Clean often.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the grilling grids or grill bottom.
This can severely upset combustion airow or trap excessive heat
in the control area. The result of this can be melted knobs, igniters and increased chance of personal injury. The drip tray accessory may be lined with aluminum foil.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is being used. Never allow them to sit, stand or play on or around the grill at any time. Do not store items of interest to chil­dren around or below the grill or in the cart. Never allow children to crawl inside of a cart.
Do not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst.
Use a covered hand when opening the grill lid. Never lean over an open grill.
When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing. Be certain you are depressing the igniter button. When using the grill: do not touch the grilling grids, burner, warming rack or immediate surrounding area as these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns.
For proper lighting and performance of the burners keep the ports clean. The burners will only operate in one position and must be mounted correctly for safe operation.
Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.
Insect Warning - Spiders and insects can nest in the burners
of this and any other grill, and cause the gas to ow from the front
of the burner. This is a very dangerous condition, which can cause
a re to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill
and making it unsafe to operate. Inspect the grill at least twice per year.
Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the grill. The chem­ical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode. Do not operate the grill under unprotected combustible construction. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings, garages, sheds, breeze­ways or any enclosed areas.
Keep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible materi-
als, trash, or combustible uids and vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter uid. Do not obstruct the ow of combustion and
ventilation air. Keep the back of the cart free and clear from debris.
If the unit is stored indoors ensure that it is cool. If propane is used, the cylinder must be unhooked and the propane cylinder stored outside in a well-ventilated area, out of reach of children.
Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront, mountain top, etc) a windbreak will be re-
quired. Always adhere to the specied clearance.
Keep any electrical supply cord, or the optional rotisserie motor cord away from the heated areas of the grill. Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products, which promote
are-ups.
OUTDOOR USE ONLY
Your Broilmaster Infrared Grill is designed for outdoor use only and must not be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
NEVER USE A DENTED OR RUSTY PROPANE TANK. SHUT OFF TANK WHEN NOT IN USE.

INFRARED COOKING
General Overview
Broilmaster Infrared gas grills make it possible for you to enjoy cooking outdoors quickly and effortlessly. In minutes, you can en-
joy steaks, hamburgers, poultry, pork chops, sh and other foods.
You can also cook more slowly if you wish. Broilmaster's optional accessories are designed to enhance your grill's versatility.
Infrared Searing Method
Searing is a process that seals juices in food by cooking with in­tense heat for a short period of time. The juices stay in the food
where they belong and the outside gets coated with avorful
smoke. For best results, follow these procedures when cooking.
Searing Method
1. Follow the Burner Ignition procedures and operate the grill for 5 minutes or until the burners glow uniformly.
2. Set the Burner Output Knob to HIGH and place the food on the cooking grid for 1 - 2 minutes, or until food lifts without sticking.
3. Turn the food and repeat Step 2.
4. Depending upon your taste, continue cooking on HIGH, turn­ing the food frequently, or adjust the Burner Output Knob to a setting between LOW and "medium" and continue cooking until the food is cooked to your satisfaction. Turn as neces­sary (generally every one to three minutes).
During the searing period, ashing might occur when juices va­porize on contact with the cooking grid and burner surfaces. The
ashes and smoke greatly enhance the avor of food.
The intense infrared energy generated by your Broilmaster Grill has other advantages. For example, food is evenly cooked throughout. Also, upon contact with the cooking grids and burners, drippings
vaporize into avorful smoke that cooks back into the food.
not recommend cooking portion meats from a frozen state.
3. Start slowly. Infrared grilling is unlike other outdoor cooking methods. It may take time to get used to the fast cooking pro­cess. As a benchmark, foods which generally cook in 20 min­utes or less on conventional grills cook in about one-half the conventional time on a Broilmaster infrared grill. Please refer to the Infrared Cooking Sample Times on pages 43 and 44.
Indirect Cooking with a Broil­master Infrared Grill
Indirect cooking is a slower process used to prepare large main dishes - roasts, hams, turkeys, etc. Foods are placed on one side of the grill and the other side is lighted to produce heat.
To protect the infrared burner from damage, place a heavy-du­ty disposable aluminum pan over the burner to catch drippings. Note: Make sure the aluminum pan is the same size or larger than the infrared burner. Any liquids that land on the burner while it is not burning may cause it to break when ignited.
The pan may be lled part-way with liquid (water, marinade, etc.)
to enhance the moisture content of the meat, but take special care not to spill anything onto the burner when adding liquids or when removing the pan after cooking.
Flare-Up Control
NOTICE: NEVER DOUSE A FLARE-UP WITH LIQUID. IT WILL DAMAGE THE BURNER AND VOID THE WAR­RANTY!
To minimize ame are-ups:
Trim excess fat from meat.
Reduce heat and reposition foods away from are-ups when
the occur.
Prevent excess grease build up by periodically cleaning cook­ing grids.
Helpful Hints
1. Use the proper tools. Long handled tongs, spatula, knife, and mitts or a hot pad for handling hot items. When turning or moving foods, use tongs or a spatula, instead of a fork. Pierc-
ing the food with a fork allows the natural juices and avor to
escape.
2. Monitor meat temperature. Bring large cuts of meat, roasts, or fowl to room temperature before cooking. Smaller meat cuts such as hamburgers, hot dogs, or small steaks may be cooked directly from the refrigerator. Note: Broilmaster does

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 rst time.
Caution: Do not use an open ame when checking for leaks. Checking for leaks with an open ame may lead to a re or
explosion, resulting in property damage or personal injury.
To check for gas leaks:
1. Use dish washing liquid and a little water to make a soapy solu­tion.
2. Turn OFF the knob on the control panel.
3. Turn ON the gas at the supply or cylinder. A hissing sound indicates a leak. Turn OFF the gas and repair the leak.
4. Apply the soapy water solution to all gas connections.
5. Look for bubbles. Bubbles indicate a leak.
6. If there are bubbles turn OFF the gas and repair the leak.
7. Turn the gas back ON and repeat the above procedures until all leaks are repaired.
Air Shutter Adjustment For R3B Series Only
The burner (venturi) tube air shutter is preset at the factory so
that after ve minutes the burner ames are blue with well dened cones. If, after ve minutes the ame is yellow, or there is a gap between the burner and the ame, adjust the burner (venturi) tube
air shutter as follows:
1. Turn gas OFF and let the burner cool.
2. Beneath the control panel you can access the air shutter(s) which are located on the end of the burner tubes.
3. Loosen shutter set screw
4. Close the air shutter to the minimum opening.
5. Light the burner, wait ve minutes and then carefully open the air shutter until the ame is blue and well dened.
6. Retighten the set screw.
Operating Instructions
Before each use, inspect all hoses. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to using your Broilmaster grill. Call your local Broil­master dealer for a replacement.
Using the Ignitor
Caution: If a burner fails to light after 5 seconds, turn the burner OFF for 5 minutes, to allow the gas to clear, then try again.
Note: Each burner must be lit individually.
1. Turn knob on the grill CLOCKWISE to the OFF position.
2. Turn ON gas at the source.
3. With the grill lid open, push and turn the burner control knob COUNTERCLOCKWISE to Hi.
4. Push and hold the ignitor button until the burner lights (approxi­mately 5 seconds).
5. If a burner does not light, turn OFF all gas and refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for other burner.
Using Matches to Light the Grill
Caution: If a burner fails to light after 5 seconds, turn the burner OFF for 5 minutes, to allow the gas to clear, then try again.
Note: Each burner must be lit individually.
1. Turn knob on the grill CLOCKWISE to the OFF position.
2. Turn ON gas at the source.
3. Open the grill lid.
4. For Blue Flame grills, insert a burning long wooden match through the lighter hole on the left side of the grill. For Infrared grills, insert the lighting stick with a long wooden match attached through the cooking grid to ignite the infrared burner from the top. See Figure 38.
5. Turn the burner control knob COUNTERCLOCKWISE to HI.
6. If a burner does not light, turn OFF all gas and refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
7. Repeat steps 3 through 6 for other burner.

OPERATION - PROPANE & NATURAL GAS GRILLS
Before Cooking
Before cooking on a grill for the rst time, it should be operated to
burn off any oil residue from the manufacturing process.
1. Raise the grill lid.
2. Light grill burners.
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 open.
This uses very little fuel and provides better avor.
WARNING!
HOOD MUST BE OPEN WHEN LIGHTING GRILL BURNERS, WARMING UP THE GRILL, AND WHILE GRILLING. HOOD MAY ONLY BE CLOSED WHILE INFRARED IS IN USE AND BOTH KNOBS ARE SET ON "LOW," OR WHILE BLUE FLAME BURNER IS IN USE ONLY, OR WHEN THE GRILL IS NOT IN USE.
AVOID WATER DAM-
AGE TO BURNER!
NEVER ALLOW WATER TO CONTACT THE BURNER AS DAMAGE WILL RESULT. WATER DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR BROIL­MASTER WARRANTY.

BLUE FLAME BURNER MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Grill
Caution: To prevent injury, do not clean a hot grill.
Note: Do not use a commercial cleaner on the cooking grids. Do not brush grids while they are hot.
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 efcient 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 re are 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 Char-Master Briquets or
avor screen 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.
Blue Flame Burner Maintenance
Visually inspect the burner ames with each use. Five minutes after lighting, the ames should be blue and have well dened cones. See Figure 40. See the troubleshooting section if the ames are
yellow or lift off the burner.
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.
Burner (Venturi) Tubes
The burner (venturi) tubes allow air and gas to mix prior to burning,
thus ensuring an efcient ame. Spiders or other small insects may build webs or nests inside the tubes obstructing air ow. Fire, or ashback, can occur, in and/or around obstructed burner (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 burner (venturi) tubes as follows:
1. Remove the cooking grids and briquet rack (R3B only).
2. Remove the burner from the grill.
3. Use a small exible brush to remove any debris from the burner
(venturi) tube.
4. Flush with water.
5. Allow the burner (venturi) tube to dry before reinstalling.
6. Reinstall the burner, briquet rack and briquets and cooking grids.
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.
Char-Master Briquets
If the briquets did not come clean during burn off, after cooling turn them over. The residue will burn off during warm-up for the next use.

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
ammable grease and other debris.

Protection of Burners
The burners of your grill are designed to provide a long life of satisfactory performance. However, there are steps you must take to prevent cracking of their ceramic surfaces, which will cause the burners to malfunction. Following are the most common causes of cracks and the steps you must take to avoid them. Damage caused by failure to follow these steps is not covered by your grill warranty.
IMPACT WITH HARD OBJECTS - Never allow hard objects to strike the ceramic. Take particular care when inserting or removing the cooking grids and accessories into or from the grill. If objects such as these fall onto the ceramic, it is likely to crack the ceramic.
IMPAIRED VENTILATION OF HOT AIR FROM THE GRILL - In order for the burners to function properly, hot air created by the burners must have a way to escape the grill. If the hot air is not allowed to escape, the burners may become deprived of oxygen, causing
them to backre, especially if the burner output is set at HIGH. If
this occurs repeatedly, the burners may crack. Never operate your grill with very little or no open space at the cooking surface (the
cooking grids provide sufcient open space.
it to swell and expand. This expansion will create pressure on the ceramic and cause it to crack and crumble.
To prevent burner damage caused by liquids, please do the fol­lowing:
Never throw liquid into the grill to control a are-up.
Never expose the burners to the risk of soaking by rainfall,
sprinklers or otherwise. We recommend that the grill be cov­ered with a heavy duty vinyl cover at all times when it is not in use. Do not attempt to operate your grill in the open air while it is raining. Finally, using the grill, close the hood as soon as the burners are off so that, if it rains, the burners will not be exposed to direct rainfall while the grill is cooling.
If standing water is in the grill (because of exposure to rainfall,
etc.) examine the ceramic burner surfaces for evidence of pos­sible water soaking. If the ceramic appears to be wet, remove the burners from the grill and turn them upside down to empty any water from the burner box. After draining all the water, place the burners indoors and allow to dry thoroughly. Also, empty any water standing in the grill's drip tray. Then, reinstall the
burners. After testing for gas leaks around all ttings, resume
normal use of the grill.
Cleaning
CAUTION: ALWAYS ALLOW THE GRILL TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING. DO NOT LET LIQUIDS COME IN CONTACT WITH THE BURNER SURFACE AT ANY TIME.
Grease Tray
Empty periodically. Replacement tray liners can be purchased at most supermarkets where disposable aluminum baking pans are displayed.
Examples:
DO NOT operate the grill on "HIGH" with the hood closed.
DO NOT use accessories in combinations that cover more than
75% of the cooking surface with solid metal.
DO NOT cover the entire surface with aluminum foil, a large
pan, etc.
WATER AND OTHER LIQUIDS - When the burners are in operation,
their intense heat is normally sufcient to vaporize any drippings,
marinates or sauces that contact the surface as a by-product of grilling. This does not include water thrown into the grill to douse a
ame. Cold liquid contacting a hot surface in substantial amounts
can cause the surface to break. Also, if the ceramic or interior of a burner becomes wet while not in use, later operation of the burner can create steam, which may produce enough pressure to crack the ceramic. In addition, repeated soaking of the ceramic will cause

INFRARED BURNER MAINTENANCE
Cooking Grids
Burn Off
This process is much like that used in self-cleaning ovens and is
most efcient 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.
Standard Cleaning
The cooking grids may also be removed and cleaned with a brass or stainless steel bristle brush and soapy solution. Standard oven cleaners may be used for further cleaning. Rinse the cooking grids thoroughly with clean water before using.
Maintenance
The Broilmaster requires very little maintenance. However, a
periodic inspection of orice openings and venturi inlets to clear obstructions to gas ow is recommended.
Burner Head
To maintain the performance of the Infrared burner it is important to operate the grill on HIGH for at least 5 minutes after each use. This procedure will leave some ash on the surface of the burner head. If it accumulates in excessive amounts, it will clog the small ports in the ceramic surface. To prevent this blockage, remove the cooking grid and the burner screen, and vacuum the burner surface with a low-suction vacuum cleaner every six months, or as necessary. When completing this procedure be careful not to scrape or strike the ceramic with the suction device, which may damage the ceramic.
