rack without overlapping.
For Smoker Shutter installation see DPA100 manual
included with your P3S grill.
Set the multilevel cooking grids 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 ‘CharMaster’ 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 flavor.
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.

®
Premium Gas Grills require
-
Keep cylinders out of direct sunlight and never apply
any other source of direct heat to them.
When refilling your cylinder, always insist on a repu
table, qualified gas dealer. Your propane gas cylinder
is filled by weight, and should never exceed eighty
(80%) percent of its weight limit. If the cylinder is not
completely empty, the gas dealer must make necessary
adjustments to ensure it is not overfilled. Never use
an overfilled Propane gas cylinder.
Cylinder Storage
Your grill must be stored outdoors in a well ventilated
area if the cylinder is attached to it.
Disconnected cylinders must have a threaded valve
plug tightly installed and must not be stored in any
building, garage, or other enclosed area.
Flammable materials (gasoline, grill covers, etc.) must

Gas Conversion
Propane grills include a conversion kit for natural
gas. If you have a natural grill and wish to convert
it to propane you will need to purchase the optional
conversion kit #BCK195.
Begin by removing all the components from the inside
of your grill. Locate and remove the orifice hoods
mounted on the underside of the grill body, using 2
wrenches as shown. Figure 13.

Remove the knobs from the valve assembly and locate
the adjustment screws on the inside of the valve stem.
Using a small screw driver, turn the screws clockwise
until screw bottoms, then turn the screws four (4) FULL
turns counterclockwise. Do not back the screws out more
than 4 1/2 turns or a leak may result. Figure 15.
Connect the grill to the natural gas supply.
Important: Before lighting your grill, check the gas
connections and the adjustment screws for leaks using
a soapy water solution.
Caution: Never use this or any gas appliance which
may be leaking gas.
Replace the knobs.
Figure 15
Before installing the natural hoods, inspect them for
damage and note the number stamped on the side. The
correct hood will be marked "48".
The hoods are self-sealing, requiring no additional pipe
sealant. If you wish to use sealant, take care to add it
to the threads only to avoid blocking the orifice.
Thread the hoods onto the supply tubes leaving about
a 1/8" gap between the hood and the locking nut.

Caution: Do not use an open flame when checking for leaks. Checking for leaks with an open
flame may lead to a fire 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 five minutes the burner flames are blue with well
defined cones. If, after five minutes the flame is yellow,
or there is a gap between the burner and the flame, adjust
the venturi air shutter as follows:
Using the Ignitor
Caution: If a burner fails to light after 5 seconds, turn the burner OFF for 5 minutes, to

OPERATION
Before Cooking
Before cooking on a grill for the first 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 flavor.
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 prop
erly 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 efficient 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 fire flare
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 flare 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.
Venturi Tubes
The venturi tubes allow air and gas to mix prior to
burning, thus ensuring an efficient flame. Spiders or other
small insects may build webs or nests inside the tubes
obstructing air flow. Fire, or flashback, 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. Figure 17.
4. Use a small flexible brush to remove any debris for
the tube(s).
5. Flush with water.
6. A l low t h e

7. Reinstall the
venturi tubes
and burner.
Figure 17
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.
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.
Grease Tray
Empty periodically. Replacement tray liners can be
purchased at most supermarkets where disposable
aluminum baking pans are displayed.
Page 22 B100911-3-0806
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.
