First Time Use
Before cooking on your infrared side burner for the first
time, clean the components and preheat the appliance to
rid it of any odors or foreign matter in the following manner:
INFRARED COOKING:
Broil King’s infrared side burner technology gives you the
ability to sear and grill delicious foods quickly and efficiently.
The infrared burner is designed to focus the gas flame onto
the ceramic tile comprised of thousands of microscopic
holes. This converts the heat of the flame into infrared
energy generating consistent even heat across the entire
surface. Traditional gas burners heat the air surrounding
the burner through combustion which rises to the cooking
surface. In contrast, the infrared burners direct heat radiates
to the cooking surface with more intensity to allow for higher
grilling temperatures than a traditional gas burner.
DIRECT GRILLING
The direct grilling method involves cooking the food on the
grid directly over the infrared burner. Direct grilling is the
most popular method for most single serving items such as
steaks and chops.
Remove and clean the cooking grid with mild soap and
water.
With cooking grid removed, light the infrared side
burner following lighting instructions (see Page 4) and
operate the infrared side burner for 10 minutes. Next,
turn gas source off then turn side burner control knob to
the “OFF” position.
Season the cooking grid by coating grid with an organic
cold processed cooking oil with a high smoke point,
light the grill and operate on Med/Low for 30 minutes.
Recommended cooking oils:
o Avocado Oil – smoke point (260C/500F)
Rice Bran Oil – smoke point (255C/490F)
Canola Oil – smoke point (204C/400F)
You are ready to grill. Proceed to “Preheating.”
Prepare food in advance to avoid delay and timing
problems. If using marinade or spices, they should be
applied before placing meat on the cooking grid. If
basting with sauces, they should be applied in the last 24 minutes of grilling to avoid burning.
Organize the area around the gas grill to include
tongs, oven mitts, sauces and seasonings to allow you
to stay in the vicinity of the gas grill while cooking.
Bring meat to room temperature just prior to grilling.
Trim excess fat from meat to minimize the “flare-ups”
that are caused by dripping grease.
Coat the grid with a high smoke point oil to prevent
food from sticking to the grid.
Hold the salt when cooking meats on the infrared
side burner. The meat will stay juicier if the salt is
added after cooking.
Learn to test when the meat is done by time and feel.
Meat firms up as it cooks. When the meat is soft it is
rare. When it is firm, it is well done.

Preheat the infrared side burner on HIGH for 5
minutes.
Clean cold grids with a nylon grill brush (Item # 65643) or
hot grids with a stainless steel wire grill brush (Item #’s
65225, 64014, 64034) and carefully inspect to ensure
there are no broken bristles left on the grid.
Coat the grid with a high smoke point cooking oil.
Adjust heat as appropriate for what you are grilling.
Lid Position. The infrared side burner lid must always
remain open during cooking. Keep the lid closed when
infrared side burner is not in use. Allow the infrared side
burner to cool down before closing lid.
Grid Position. The infrared side burner grid must
always remain in the upper position during cooking.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE
To ensure optimal performance and safety, the following
components should be inspected and cleaned as required before
use of your infrared side burner.
COOKING GRIDS - HEAVY ROD STAINLESS
BROIL KING® Heavy Rod stainless grids provide maximum
durability and good heat retention and good grilling performance.
For optimum performance:
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
The following components should be inspected and cleaned at
least once a year or after any period of storage over 30 days to
ensure optimal performance, safety and efficiency.
BURNER
Inspect for cracks and deterioration. Clean venturi tubes using a
pipe cleaner or venturi brush to eliminate any blockages. While the
burner is removed, clean the interior by scraping the sides and
bottom and vacuuming.
HOSE
Inspect and replace if necessary.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
If a problem is found with the regulator, hose, burner, or control
valves, do not attempt repair. See your dealer, approved service
center, or contact the factory for repairs or replacement parts. To
ensure optimum performance, use only original BROIL KING®
replacement parts.
LEAK TEST
When reconnecting a gas cylinder on propane models, be sure to
check for leaks. See “Leak Testing.” (Page 3)
Before first use and after long periods of storage, wash grids
using a light detergent and water and then rinse and dry with
paper towel; never air dry grids or use a dishwasher.
Immediately after washing, season cooking grids by coating
grids with an organic cold pressed cooking oil with a high
smoke point, light the grill and operate on Med/Low for 30
minutes. Recommended cooking oils:
Avocado Oil – smoke point (260C/500F)
Rice Bran Oil – smoke point (255C/490F)
Canola Oil – smoke point (204C/400F)
Before and after each use, brush grids with a good quality
stainless steel bristle brush (Item #’s 65225, 64014, 64034)
and lightly coat with a high smoke point cooking oil. This will
continue the seasoning process.
Avoid applying sugar based marinades or salt to meat before
grilling, apply sugar based marinades at end of grilling and salt
after grilling.
Use oil based marinades, avoid water based marinades.
Lightly coat food with cooking oil of your choice before grilling.
Ensure the surface of the grid is always coated with a light
layer of oil. This helps prevent rust and deterioration and
improves the grids non-stick performance.
If rust does occur, Burn-Off the grid, brush with a stainless
steel bristle brush and re-season.
Keep infrared side burner cover closed when not in use.
During long periods of inactivity, grid should be seasoned, then
stored in a dry place. The grid may be wrapped in protective plastic
food wrap. After periods of storage, Burn-Off grid, wash, dry with
paper towel and re-season with a high smoke point cooking oil.
GREASE PAN
The grease pan is located at the rear under the shelf. Clean
regularly.
GENERAL CLEANING
Perform a Burn-Off (see below).
When infrared side burner is cool, remove grid.
Clean the interior of the infrared side burner as necessary by
scraping the sides and bottom of the with the grid lifter and vacuum
residue.
Rust is a natural oxidation process and may appear on internal
stainless steel parts. Rust will not affect performance of your
infrared side burner.
BURN-OFF
Ignite the burner as per “Lighting” (page 4).
Operate infrared side burner on HIGH for 10 minutes maximum.
Turn the gas source off then turn control knob to OFF.
Warning:
If the infrared side burner is hot, use caution and oven mitts
while handling the stainless steel bristle brush.
Inspect the grid carefully after brushing to ensure there are
no broken bristles left on the grid.
