Place the briquet rack (8) or avor screen rack (28) on the burner
assembly.
Position the avor screen (29) on to avor screen rack (28) or the
ceramic briquets (7) evenly on the briquette rack without overlapping.
For Smoker Shutter installation see DPA100 manual included
with your P3S grill.
Set the multilevel cooking grids. See Figure 9.
Installing Char-Master Briquets
Individually place the ‘Char-Master’ briquets in a single layer
evenly on your grill’s briquet rack; DO NOT dump them onto the
briquet rack. A single layer of ‘Char-Master’ briquets is all that’s
needed. DO NOT overlap or stack the briquets.
See Figure 9.

After properly placing the ‘Char-Master’ briquets on your grill’s
briquet rack, there may be some briquets left over. Save them for
future use.
Before cooking, always preheat the grill as directed by the grill’s
operating instructions. Hot briquets cause better, quicker cooking
and better avor.
Cleaning
Routine preheating and routine burn-off (also called postheating)
of a grill will clean the ‘Char-Master’ briquets. Periodically turn
the briquets over while they are cool.

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 relling your cylinder, always insist on a reputable, qualied 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 overlled. Never use an
overlled Propane gas cylinder.

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.
Cooking
Broilmaster® is happy to provide a cookbook with each of its grills.
The cookbook contains helpful cooking tips and instructions as
well as great tasting recipes for preparing many delicious foods
on your grill.
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 efcient 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.
Venturi Tubes
The venturi tubes allow air and gas to mix prior to burning, thus
ensuring an efcient 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 17.
4. Use a small flexible 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.
3. Wipe COOL grill with a damp cloth to remove soot.
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 Tray
Empty periodically. Replacement tray liners can be purchased at
most supermarkets where disposable aluminum baking pans are
displayed.
Figure 17
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.
