INSTALL RACKS

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.

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 give better flavor and

allow quicker cooking.

NATURAL GAS GRILLS

Grill Location

This grill is designed for outdoor use only.

Never operate your grill in any building, garage, or other
enclosed area. Never operate your grill in a recreational vehicle
or boat. Never operate your grill under any combustible materials,
such as carports, covered porches, awnings, or overhangs.

CAUTION

Keep the sides of the grill at least 16 inches from any

combustible material. Keep the back of the grill at least
18 inches from any combustible material. Placing a hot
grill too close to a building or other combustible mate-

rial may lead to re, property damage, or personal injury.

Combustible materials include fences, patio furniture,
and your home.

Keep the area around the grill clear to ensure proper ventilation.

WARNING

Do not install or operate this grill where gasoline or other

ammable materials are used or stored. Failure to comply
with this warning could result in explosion or re causing

property damage or personal injury.

Gas Type

The type gas required for your grill can be determined from the

product identication label located on the grill’s control panel.

Questions regarding different types of gases should be directed
to your local gas supplier.

Connection Requirements

Broilmaster natural gas grills are not equipped with pressure
regulators. Your gas grill operates at a manifold pressure of
seven inches water column. (Your natural gas technician will
understand what this means.)

Arrange with your local gas company or licensed contractor to
have a gas supply line connected to the inlet of the stainless

steel ex tube assemble. The gas supply must have a shutoff

valve that is close to the post in case of emergency and must
be shutoff when the grill is not in use.

Connect your grill this coupling using the twelve foot exible
hose with a quick disconnect tting (available for purchase from

your Broilmaster dealer.)

CAUTION

The grill and its individual shutoff valve must be discon-

nected from the gas supply piping system during any
system pressure testing at test pressures in excess of
1/2 PSIG.

CAUTION

The grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping sys-

tem by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG.

CAUTION

Never use Liquid Propane (LP) gas in a grill designed

for Natural gas, or Natural gas in a grill designed for
Liquid Propane gas. Questions regarding different types
of gases should be directed to your local gas company.

B102271-1-0615Page 36

OPERATION - NATURAL GAS GRILL

Check for Gas Leaks

Check for gas leaks every time your Broilmaster gas grill has
not been used recently, or when using a natural gas grill 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 water dish and a little dish washing liquid 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 you see 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

Lighting with the Electric Igniter

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.

1. Open the grill lid.

2. Turn burner knob CLOCKWISE to the OFF position.

3. Turn ON the gas at the source.

4. With the grill lid open, push and turn the burner control knob
COUNTERCLOCKWISE to Hi.

5. Push and hold the igniter button until the burner lights

(approximately 5 seconds).

6. If a burner does not light, turn OFF all gas and refer to

the Troubleshooting section of this manual.

Lighting with a Match

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.

1. Open the grill lid.

2. Turn the burner knob CLOCKWISE to the OFF position.

3. Turn ON gas at the source.

4. With the grill lid open, push and turn the burner control knob
COUNTERCLOCKWISE to HI.

5. Insert a long wooden lighted match through the lighter hole
on either side of the grill. See Figure Below.

6. If a burner does not light, turn OFF all gas and refer to the
Troubleshooting section of this manual.

Heat Indicator Recalibration

The heat indicator can be recalibrated if needed. Remove the heat
indicator from the grill and place the probe end in a pot of boiling
water. Set the heat indicator by turning the nut on the back until
it reads 212 degrees. The indicator is now set.

B102271-1-0615 Page 37

LIGHTING WITH A MATCH

OPERATION - NATURAL GAS GRILL

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 three­prong (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.

B102271-1-0615Page 38

MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Grill

CAUTION

To prevent injury, use care when cleaning a hot grill.

Buy a good grill brush. Inexpensive grill brushes tend to lose

their metal bristles, which can stick to your cooking grids and
become embedded in foods.

A grill builds up a patina of smoke residue. The “seasoning” is

normal and actually enhances the avor of your foods. If the
build-up grows too think, it can ake off and fall onto your food.
To remove excess build-up, let the grill cool completely and then

brush thoroughly with a high-quality grill brush.

Note: Do not use a commercial cleaner on the cooking grid.
For baked on residue use grill 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

cause a re, or ashback, around the obstructed venturi tubes

and may damage to components beneath the grill or an unsafe
condition. To reduce risk, inspect and clean the venturi tubes
at least twice per year and more often if spiders are active. If

the grill has been unused for an extended period of time inspect

the tubes before using the grill.

Cleaning Venturi Tubes

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 Below.

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. Reattach the venturi, collector box, and bracket in the same

order removed.

8. Reinstall burner, briquette rack, and cooking grids.

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 to clean the interior of the
grill. Scrape off baked on residue with a putty knife or 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 brush.
Wash with water and a mild detergent.

Grease Cup

Empty periodically.

CLEANING VENTURI TUBES

Exterior Cleaning

Turn off the grill and allow it to cool before cleaning. Never use

aerosol sprays or ammable cleaners on or near a hot grill.

Do not use abrasive pads or cleaners on stainless or painted
components.

Clean the grill exterior regularly with a solution of mild detergent

and hot water.

Touch-up paint is available from your dealer.

Broilmaster protective covers are recommended. Clean stain­less steel components with a stainless steel cleaner available
in most hardware stores.

Venturi Tubes

The venturi tubes allow air and gas to mix prior to burning,
ensuring an efcient ame. Spiders or other small insects may
build webs or nests inside the tubes obstructing air ow. This can

If the briquettes did not come clean during burn off, wait for the
grill to cool and then turn them over. The residue will burn off

during the next warm-up.

TROUBLESHOOTING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

Spiders and insects can nest in gas grill burners causing the gas to ow from the front of the burner

and ignite under the control panel. This is very dangerous and can damage the grill, making it
unsafe to operate. Inspect the grill at least twice per year and more often if spiders are active.

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 around the grill free from combustible materials, 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 grill 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 required.

Always adhere to the specied clearance.

Keep electrical cords always from the heated areas of the grill.

Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products, which promote are-ups.

Keep Children Away from the Grill at All Times

Never leave children unattended near the grill. Teach them to stay away even when you are not
cooking, as the grill can remain hot after it is turned off.

Never allow children 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 or island enclosure.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Practice Safe Grilling

Do not wear loose tting clothing or readily ammable clothing (such as synthetics) around the grill.
Never let clothing, pot holders, or other ammable materials come in contact with or too close to

any grate, burner or hot surface. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.

Use only dry pot holders. Using a damp pot holder on a hot surface may cause burns from steam.
Do not use towels or bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot holders touch hot cooking
grids. Never use a sponge on a hot surface, as it may cause steam burns. Protect your hand with
an oven mitt or pot holder when opening the grill lid. Never lean over an open grill.

Use heat-proof cookware and tools specically designed for grilling. Other types of material may
shatter with sudden temperature changes or melt from extreme heat. Use tools with insulated

handles and keep them away from the grill to avoid heat build-up.

Do not spray aerosol oil or butter or pour liquid oil into the grill. Doing so will cause a ash re that

can burn you.

Grease is ammable. Let grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits

collect in the bottom of the grill. Clean your grill often.

Do not use aluminum foil to line the cooking grids or grill bottom. This can disrupt combustion air

ow or trap excess heat in the control area. Excess heat can melt knobs or igniters, and increase

the chance of personal injury. The drip tray accessory may be lined with aluminum foil.

Do not heat unopened food containers - such as cans, jars, and sealed pans. Pressure build-up
may cause the container to burst.

When lighting a grill, always open the lid rst and pay close attention to what you are doing. Turn
one burner knob to HI, press the igniter button and count to ve.

For proper lighting and performance of the burners keep the ports clean.

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.

COOKING TIPS

Cook Food To Proper Temperatures

Cooking food safely requires that you raise the internal temperature of the meat high enough and for a long enough
period of time to kill any food-borne bacteria that may cause illnesses.
Color is not the best indicator that food is safe to eat. Use a high-quality probe thermometer to be sure your food is
properly cooked. Place the tip of an instant-read thermometer into the center of the thickest part of the food but at
least 1/2 inch deep. Read the temperature after about 10 seconds. Follow the temperature guidelines for the type of

food you’re cooking.

The following guidelines are from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutri­tion.

Cook to Internal Temp

Meat & Poultry Medium Rare Medium Well Done

Fresh Beef - Medium Rare 145°F 160°F 170°F

Ground turkey, chicken 165°F

Ground veal, beef, lamb, pork 145°F with 3 minutes of rest and then turn

Fresh Pork - Medium 160°F 170°F

Chicken - whole 165°F

Turkey - whole 165°F

Poultry breasts, roast 165°F

Poultry thighs, wings 165°F

Stufng (cooked alone or in bird) 165°F

Duck and goose 180°F

Fresh Veal - Medium Rare 160°F

Fresh Lamb - Medium Rare 145°F 160°F 170°F

Ham - fresh (raw) 145°F 160°F 170°F

Ham - pre-cooked (reheat) 140°F

Seafood

Fish Cook until esh turns opaque and akes easily with a fork.

Shrimp, lobster, crab Cook until shells turn red and esh becomes pearly opaque.

Scallops Should turn milky white or opaque and rm.

Clams, mussels, oysters Cook until shells open.

*The above temperature settings are a guide, the temperatures may vary due to wind and outside ambient temperatures.
