WARNING  
OPERATING THE GRILL:  
Never use Charcoal or Lighter Fluid inside your Gas Grill. Read and follow all warnings and  
instructions contained in the preceding sections of this manual.  
BREAKING IN YOUR GRILL:  
In manufacturing and preserving the components of your grill, oil residue may be present on the  
burner and cooking surfaces of your grill.  
Before cooking on your grill for the first time you should preheat it for 15 minutes on "HIGH" to burn  
off these residual oils.  
PREHEATING THE GRILL:  
Prior to use, it is recommended that you preheat your grill. This ensures that the grilling surfaces are  
at the desired temperatures to sear the food sugars when cooking. After lighting your grill, set the  
main burner control knobs to the "HIGH" position for 10 to 15 minutes. Close the cover during the  
preheat period.  
CONTROLLING FLARE-UPS:  
Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a gas grill. This adds to the unique flavor of cooking on a  
gas grill. Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and cause a dangerous situation for you and  
your grill. Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill. If this  
should occur, DO NOT pour water onto the flames. This can cause the grease to splatter and could  
result in serious burns or bodily harm. If grease fire occurs close the lid and turn off the main burners  
until the grease burns out. Use caution when opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may occur.  
WARNING  
DO NOT leave your grill unattended while in use.  
DO NOT move grill when in use. Lock wheels in place to stabilize grill.  
DO NOT use water to extinguish flare-ups.  
Have fire extinguisher readily accessible suitable for use with gas appliances.  
TO MINIMIZE FLARE-UPS:  
Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.  
Cook meats with high fat contents (chicken or pork) on Low settings or indirectly.  
Ensure that your grill is on level ground and the grease is allowed to evacuate the grill through the  
drain hole in the bottom and into grease cup.  
INDIRECT COOKING:  
Indirect cooking is the process of cooking your food without the heat source being directly under your  
food. You can sear meats over a high flame on one side of the grill while slow cooking a roast on the  
other (unlit) side of the grill.

ROTISSERIE COOKING:  
Your grill was pre-drilled from factory to include mounting holes for a rotisserie (sold separately). Do  
not use a rotisserie not specifically manufactured for this grill.  
Read and follow all instructions provided with the rotisserie. Save instructions for future reference.  
Do not use the side burner when using a rotisserie.  
WARNING  
When using an AC current rotisserie, it must be electrically grounded in accordance with local  
codes, or in the absence of local codes:  
In the US: The National Electrical Code – ANSI-NFPA No. 70 – Latest Edition  
In Canada: the Canadian Electrical Code – CSA C22.1  
The Rotisserie is equipped with a three pronged plug for your protection against electrical  
shock. This plug should be plugged directly into a properly grounded 3 prong receptacle. Never  
cut or remove the grounding plug. Any extension cord must also have a 3 prong receptacle.  
All electrical supply cords should be kept away from water and any hot surfaces of the grill.  
USING OTHER FEATURES OF THE GRILL:  
THE SIDE BURNER:  
The side burner can be used to prepare side dishes such as beans, potatoes, corn, or to warm  
sauces.  
The burner valve can be adjusted from high to low depending upon your cooking demands.  
WARNING  
Read instructions on lighting your grill to light the side burner.  
Never close the side burner cover when the burner is lit.  
Use a 10" diameter pot or smaller that does NOT have an extended handle when cooking on the  
side burner. Center pot over burner.  
Never place more than 15 pounds on the side burner. The side burner is not constructed to hold  
weight exceeding 15 pounds.  
Use caution to avoid bumping grill, side burner or pot to prevent pot from spilling contents  
possibly leading to severe burns.  
DO NOT use side burner to deep fry food in oil to avoid dangers associated with oil igniting  
creating a very dangerous situation.

GRILL COOKING TIPS  
CLEANLINESS  
Always wash hands thoroughly with soap and hot water prior to handling food and after handling raw  
meat, uncooked poultry or seafood.  
When using a platter to carry raw meat, uncooked poultry or seafood to the grill, make sure to wash the  
platter thoroughly with soap and hot water before placing cooked foods back on the platter or use  
different platters for raw and cooked foods.  
Never use the same utensils when handling raw meat, uncooked poultry or seafood unless you wash the  
utensils thoroughly with soap and hot water.  
Never re-use marinade from raw meat or uncooked poultry on foods that have been cooked and are  
ready to be served.  
GRILLING TO PROPER TEMPERATURE  
Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal temperature. You may order a  
Commercial-quality thermometer from Brinkmann. For more information on this product and other  
Brinkmann accessories, please refer to the accessory pages at the end of this manual.  
The US Department of Agriculture recommends the minimum temperature be reached for the  
following food items:  
Chops . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .145 degrees F  
Ground Meat . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .160 degrees F  
Pork . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .160 degrees F

HELPFUL HINTS  
If you pre-cook meat or poultry, do so immediately before grilling.  
Never defrost meat at room temperature or on a countertop.  
Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours of taking food off the grill.  
For additional information, please phone the USDA’s toll free Meat & Poultry Hotline at 800-535-4555.  
PROPER CARE & MAINTENANCE  
To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be kept clean and covered at all times when not  
in use. A grill cover may be ordered directly from Brinkmann by calling 800-468-5252 or 800-527-0717.  
Wash cooking grills and heat distribution plates with hot, soapy water, rinse well and dry. Lightly coat  
cooking grill with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.  
Clean inside and outside of grill by wiping off with a damp cloth. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil or  
vegetable oil spray to the interior surface to prevent rusting.  
If rust appears on the exterior surface of your grill, clean and buff the affected area with steel wool or fine  
grit emery cloth. Touch-up with a good quality high-temperature resistant paint.  
Never apply paint to the interior surface. Rust spots on the interior surface can be buffed, cleaned, then  
lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to minimize rusting.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:  
Keep the appliance free and clear of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors  
and liquids.  
Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris.  
Visually check burner flames for proper operation (see pictorial in "Burner Assembly/Maintenance"  
under Proper Care and Maintenance). Spiders or other insects can nest in the burner causing gas  
blockage.  
For safe grilling and peak performance of your grill, perform these checks at least twice per year or  
after extended periods of storage.  
Be sure to tighten up all hardware (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) at least twice per year.  
CAUTION! Some parts may contain sharp edges. Wear protective gloves if necessary.  
Remove the cooking grills, heat distribution plates, and burners from inside your grill. Use a brush with  
hot water and detergent to remove excess residue. NEVER use a commercial oven cleaner. Rinse  
completely with water. Towel dry and replace all components as described in the assembly instructions.  
BURNER ASSEMBLY/MAINTENANCE  
Although your burners are constructed of cast iron, they may rust as a result of the extreme heat and  
acids from cooking foods. Regularly inspect the burners for cracks, abnormal holes, and other signs of  
corrosion damage. If found, replace the burner.  
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Burner tubes can become blocked by  
spiders and other insects building their nests. Blocked burner tubes can prevent gas flow to the  
burners and could result in a burner tube fire or fire beneath the grill. To clean the Burner Assembly  
follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting  
the grill.  
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder tank valve.  
2. Remove cooking grills and heat distribution plates.  
3. Remove cotter pins from beneath each burner "foot" using a screwdriver or needle nose pliers.  
4. Carefully lift each burner up and away  
from valve openings.  
5. Use a narrow bottle brush or a stiff wire  
bent into a small hook to run through each  
burner tube and flame port several times.  
Debris  
NOTE: Wear eye protection when performing procedure 6.  
6. Use compressed air to blow into burner tube and out the flame ports. Check each port to make sure air  
comes out each hole.  
7. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt.  
8. Check burner for damage, if any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.  
IMPORTANT: Burner opening must slide over valve nozzle.  
9. Carefully replace burners.  
Valve Nozzle  
10. Replace cotter pin beneath each burner and follow  
the "Gas Leak Testing" section of this manual.

COOKING GRILLS  
Clean with mild soap detergent and water. A brass bristled brush or a nylon cleaning pad can be used  
to remove residue from the stainless steel surfaces. Do not use steel wire bristles to clean the cooking  
grills. Steel can cause the finish to chip or crack. DO NOT use a commercial oven cleaner.  
HEAT DISTRIBUTION PLATES  
Periodically, it may be necessary to inspect and clean the heat distribution plate to prevent excess  
grease build-up. When the grill is cold, remove the cooking grill. Inspect the heat distribution plates  
and replace if broken or damaged. Do not allow heat distribution plates to become damaged to the  
extent that they may fall through onto the burners. Replace the heat distribution plates and cooking  
grills and light the burners. Operate the grill on "HIGH" for 10 minutes to remove the excess grease.  
WARNING  
TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE:  
Never move a grill when it is hot or when objects are on the cooking surfaces.  
Make sure that cylinder valve is shut off. After moving the grill check that all gas connections  
are free of leaks. Refer to instructions for Leak Testing.  
DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder (filled or empty) under or near the grill.  
Never store flammable liquids or spray canisters under or near the grill.  
DO NOT extinguish grease fires using water.  
If the outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply  
cylinder.  
Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is  
disconnected and removed from the outdoor cooking gas appliance.  
Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of reach of children and must not be stored in a  
building, garage or any other enclosed area.  
When removing the grill from storage, spider webs or other debris may be blocking the burner.  
See "Burner Assembly/Maintenance" under Proper Care and Maintenance.  
BEFORE STORING YOUR GRILL:  
Ensure that the cylinder valve is fully closed.  
Clean all surfaces.  
Lightly coat the burners with cooking oil to prevent excess rusting.  
If storing the grill indoors, disconnect the LP tank and leave the LP tank OUTDOORS.  
Place a protective cap cover on the LP tank and store the tank outdoors in a well ventilated area out  
of direct sunlight.  
Clean burner prior to use after storing, at the beginning of grilling season or after a period of one  
month not being used. Spiders and insects like to build nests in burner tubes (especially during colder  
months). These nests can cause fires in burner tubes or under grill.  
If storing the grill outdoors, cover the grill with a grill cover for protection from the weather. A grill cover  
may be ordered directly from Brinkmann by calling 800-468-5252 or 800-527-0717.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS  
Your grill's serial number and model number, and the contact information for Brinkmann Customer Service, are listed  
on a silver label found on the back of the grill or on the grill body side, under the side shelf.  
These questions and answers are for your general knowledge, and may not be applicable to your model grill.  
Question: Why does my grill not light properly?  
Answer: Always follow lighting instructions as listed on the control panel or in this manual. Also check these  
causes:  
Check LP gas supply.  
Check to ensure all gas connections are secure.  
The igniter AA battery may need replacing.  
Ignition wires may be loose. Remove the battery, inspect the igniter junction box found behind the control  
panel and connect any loose wires.  
Spark electrode tips may need repositioning. With the gas supply closed and control knob set to the "OFF"  
position, press the igniter button and have another person watch for the presence of a spark at the electrode  
tips. The gap between the spark electrode tip and spark receiver should be about 3/16". If the electrode tip  
needs to be adjusted, bend it to the appropriate gap distance.  
Check that the end of each burner venturi tube is properly located over its gas valve orifice fitting.  
There may be an obstruction in the gas line. To correct this, remove LP gas hose / regulator or natural gas  
fuel line from your grill. Open gas supply for one second to test for obstruction. If no obstruction is present,  
reconnect fuel line. If the fuel line is blocked, replace with a new hose / regulator assembly.  
If an obstruction is suspected in the hose / regulator assembly, orifice or gas valves call Brinkmann Customer  
Service at 800-527-0717.  
Question: Why does my LP gas grill have a low flame or a flame with orange / yellow color?  
Answer: You need to purge air from the gas line or reset the regulator's flow limiting device. Opening the cylinder  
valve all the way or too quickly triggers the regulator’s flow limiting device to shut down the gas flow, which  
prevents excessive gas flow to your grill. NOTE: This procedure should be done every time a new LP gas tank is  
connected to your grill:  
RESETTING THE REGULATOR FLOW LIMITING DEVICE  
Turn control knob to the "OFF" position.  
Turn off the LP gas tank at the cylinder valve.  
Disconnect regulator from LP gas tank.  
Let tank stand for two minutes.  
Reconnect regulator to the LP gas tank.  
Open grill lid or side burner lid. Turn the cylinder valve on slowly until 1/4 or 1/2 open.  
Light the grill by following the instructions on your control panel or in this owner's manual.  
Question: How and when do I clean the interior cooking components of my grill?  
Answer: Use a fiber or brass cleaning brush to clean the interior or the grill, cooking grills, heat distribution plates  
and grease containers. Never use a wire brush or metal scraper on porcelain-finished parts, as they can scratch  
or chip the porcelain finish and promote rusting.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS  
Cleaning Stainless Steel Cooking Grills: Wash grills with a mild detergent and rinse with hot water before initial  
use and as needed. DO NOT use a commercial oven cleaner. For stubborn food residue, use a degreaser and  
fiber or brass cleaning brush.  
Cleaning Porcelain-Finished Cast-Iron Cooking Grills: Wash grills with a mild detergent and rinse with hot  
water before initial use and as needed. For stubborn food residue, use a degreaser and fiber or brass cleaning  
brush. Dry immediately using a soft cloth or paper towels.  
Cleaning Heat Distribution Plate: Heat distribution plates should be cleaned whenever food or grease drippings  
accumulate to reduce the chance of flare-ups. Wash heat distribution plates with a mild detergent and rinse with  
hot water. Use a degreaser and fiber or brass cleaning brush to remove stubborn food residue. Do not use a wire  
brush or metal scraper on porcelain-finished heat distribution plates, as they can scratch or chip the porcelain  
finish and promote rusting.  
Cleaning the Grease Tray and/or Grease Cup: The grease tray and/or grease cup (some models) should be  
inspected before each grill use to reduce the chance of fire. Remove grease (a plastic spatula works well) and  
wash all parts with a mild soap or degreaser and warm water solution.  
Question: What causes grill parts to rust and what affect does it have on the grill materials?  
Answer: Rusting is a natural oxidation process and may appear on cast-iron and steel parts. Rust will not affect  
the short-term performance of your grill. Stainless steel grill parts will not rust. However, weathering and extreme  
heat can cause a stainless steel lid to turn a bronze color. This is discoloration, not rust, and is not considered a  
manufacturing defect.  
Question: What causes my stainless steel grill lid to discolor and how do I clean my grill lid?  
Answer: Smoke, weathering and high heat can cause a stainless steel grill lid to turn bronze in color. This is not  
to be confused with rust and is not a product defect. Machine oils used in the manufacturing process of stainless  
steel as well as cooking oils and a dirty grill lid can also encourage discoloration if the lid is not cleaned prior to  
grill use. After your grill is assembled, remove the protective PVC film from your grill lid and use a stainless steel  
cleaner and soft cloth to remove residual adhesive and oils from the inside and outside of your grill lid. Never use  
abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. In addition to the initial cleaning, routine cleaning to remove dirt, grease and oils  
will help discourage lid discoloration.  
Question: Can I convert my grill from propane gas to natural gas?  
Answer: No, your gas grill is manufactured to exact specifications and is certified for either propane gas or  
natural gas use only. For your safety, conversion kits are not available. Any attempt to convert your grill will void  
your warranty.  
Question: Why does the hose / regulator assembly supplied with my grill not fit the older LP gas tank I’ve  
used for years?  
Answer: U.S. Government regulates gas appliances and LP gas tanks. When regulations were changed, the LP  
gas tank fittings were updated to ensure compliance. If your LP gas tank does not fit the hose / regulator supplied  
with your new grill, the tank is outdated and must be replaced. NOTE: Effective April 1, 2002, all LP gas tanks  
sold must include an "OPD" overflow protection device. This internal device prevents the LP gas tank from being  
overfilled. Tanks without an OPD valve cannot be refilled.  
Question: Sometimes I hear a humming sound coming from my gas regulator. Should I be concerned?  
Answer: The humming sound is gas flowing through the regulator. A low volume of noise is normal and will not  
interfere with the operation of your grill. If the humming noise is loud and excessive, you need to purge air from  
the gas line or reset the regulator flow limiting device following the Regulator Resetting Procedure under  
Connecting LP Cylinder and Hose/Regulator to Grill. This procedure should be done every time a new LP  
gas tank is connected to your grill. For help, refer to your owner’s manual or call Brinkmann Customer Service  
at 800-527-0717.

CHICKEN AND TURKEY RACKS  
These chromed steel racks hold chicken, cornish hen, duck or  
turkey upright and are ideal for smoking, grilling or oven roasting  
poultry. The rack allows the meat to cook from the inside as well  
as from the outside. This speeds up cooking time, seals in flavor-  
ful juices and promotes even browning of skin. It’s a low fat way  
to cook poultry because excess fat drips off the meat. When oven  
roasting, place poultry on rack in a shallow pan of water to steam
