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 care
fully and completely before using your grill to reduce the risk
of fire, burn hazard or other injury.
Begin by ensuring proper assembly.
Do not repair or replace any part of the grill unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All other service should be referred
to a qualified technician.
For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments
or sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some
synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn
while cooking. Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable
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 sur
faces 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 flammable. 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 airflow 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 chil
dren 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 ex
tremely 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 flow from the front
of the burner. This is a very dangerous condition, which can cause
-
a fire 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 be
fore 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 ma
terials, trash, or combustible fluids and vapors such as gasoline
or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow 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 consistent
ly windy area (oceanfront, mountain top, etc) a windbreak will be
required. Always adhere to the specified 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
flare-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.

GRILL ASSEMBLY
Before You Begin
All Broilmaster grills require some assembly and installation.
Follow all instructions unless noted to apply only to other
specific models.
If you purchased an accessory with your Broilmaster, follow
the instructions provided with the accessory for assembly
and installation. If an instruction refers to a step that is not
required for your grill model, please continue to the next
step.
In each step, parts are identified with “Key” numbers. Key
numbers appear in parenthesis after a part name is mentioned
for the first time in the instructions. You can reference each
part by its key number on the Parts List if you need help in
identifying a part.
Compare the parts found in the shipping container to the
parts list provided. If any parts are missing contact your
Broilmaster dealer before beginning assembly.
CAUTION: FOR YOUR SAFETY
Parts may have sharp edges. Wear leather work
gloves and handle parts carefully during the unpacking, assembly and installation.
Recommended Tools
These items are recommended for the assembly of your
grill:
• Phillips screwdriver
• Adjustable wrench set
• Socket set
• Soapy water solution (to test for leaks)
• Liquid soap (for foam grip)
Grill Mountings
Assemble your base option before assembling your Broilmaster grill head.
Refer to the Broilmaster Cart, Base, and Post instructions
provided with each accessory for assembly, installation, and
mounting procedures.
CAUTION: Hood Position
Due to the intense heat generated by the Broilmaster burner
system, cooking with the hood closed can only be done
with the control knobs set on LOW. The control panel label
clearly indicates the highest safe setting for cooking with
the hood closed.
