PROPANE GAS GRILLS  
Propane Cylinder Safety  
installation shall be in accordance with CAN/CGA-B149.2 Propane  
Installation Code, or CAN/CGA-B149.1 Natural Gas Installation  
Code, and local codes where applicable. Consult your local gas  
supplier or propane gas dealer for code regulations and recom-  
mended procedures.  
Liquid Propane (LP) gas has a long history of safe use when the  
safety precautions provided in this manual are followed.  
Failure to follow these safety precautions could result in a  
fire or explosion causing property damage or personal injury.  
Warning: Broilmaster® Premium Gas Grills require Liquid  
Propane (LP) cylinders equipped with an Overfill Protection  
Device (OPD). An overfilled or improperly filled Propane cyl-  
inder can be dangerous.  
Propane gas cylinders should always be handled, stored, and  
transported with extreme caution in a secured upright position.  
Never attempt to use or repair a propane gas cylinder that has been  
damaged. Never attempt to use or repair a cylinder with a faulty or  
damaged valve outlet. A cylinder that has been dropped, dented,  
or otherwise damaged must be replaced.  
Always use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied  
with your Propane gas grill.  
Note: Not all valve and cylinder combinations are compatible.  
Check warning tag on valve and cylinder as well as external fitting  
threads.  
A propane gas cylinder should never be transported in the pas-  
senger area of a vehicle.  
All Broilmaster® pressure regulators and hose assemblies require  
Propane cylinders with a Type 1 connection device as illustrated.  
See Figure 1.  
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 reputable, qualified  
gas dealer. Your propane gas cylinder is filled by weight, and should  
never exceed eighty percent (80%) of its weight limit. If the cylin-  
der 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 not be stored  
in the cylinder enclosure.  
Always store Propane cylinders in a secured upright position, out  
of the reach of children.  
Connection Requirements  
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 supplier.  
Figure 1  
Installation must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local  
codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. In Canada,

PROPANE GAS GRILLS  
Pressure Regulator and Hose Assembly  
The pressure regulator has an outlet pressure of not more than eleven (11") inches water column. It must be connected to the Propane  
gas cylinder’s female valve outlet before the grill can be operated.  
Caution: Operation of a Propane gas grill without the pressure regulator and hose assembly will cause gas leaks which could  
lead to fire or explosion, resulting in property damage or personal injury.  
The pressure regulator’s fitting must remain clean and free of nicks and scratches. A dirty, nicked or scratched fitting can cause a gas  
leak, resulting in an explosion or fire. Use only genuine Broilmaster® replacement parts unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.  
Connecting to Propane Gas / Cylinder Retention Means  
ATTENTION:  
Propane gas cylinders that are acceptable for use with this grill must comply with Cylinder Requirements, Page 18,  
and Connection Requirements, Page 19.  
Position the cylinder in the opening in the bottom of the cart and secure with the cylinder retaining bracket. See Figure 2.  
Attach the pressure regulator to the Propane gas cylinder’s valve  
using the plastic handwheel. Tighten in a clockwise motion to  
achieve a gas tight seal. See Figure 3.  
Caution: Do not use a wrench or any other tool to tighten. Use  
of a wrench or other tool will damage the plastic handwheel.  
To disconnect the Propane gas cylinder, turn OFF the cylinder’s  
valve and the grill’s control valve. Remove the regulator by turning  
the plastic handwheel counterclockwise.  
Caution: Assure hose does not touch the casting or mounting  
components.

The area surrounding the grill should be clear to ensure proper  
ventilation. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation  
air in any way. The ventilation openings on the propane cylinder  
enclosure must also remain free and clear of debris.  
Avoid contact of hair to heat and flames.  
Caution: The grill and its individual shutoff valve must be  
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any  
system pressure testing at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG.  
Portable grills should be level and positioned away from direct wind  
prior to each use.  
WARNING: Do not install or operate this grill where gaso-  
line or other flammable materials are used or stored. Failure  
to comply with this warning could result in explosion or fire  
causing property damage or personal injury.  
Caution: The grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping  
system 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.  
Gas Type  
The type gas required for your grill can be determined from the  
product identification label located on the grill’s control panel.  
Questions regarding different types of gases should be directed to  
your local gas supplier.  
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.

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 ‘Char-Master’ briquets is all that’s needed.  
DO NOT overlap or stack the briquets.  
See Figure 21b.  
Figure 21a  
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 post-heating)  
of a grill will clean the ‘Char-Master’ briquets. Periodically turn the  
briquets over while they are cool.  
Note for H3 Package Owners: The side shelf must be installed  
before installing the Briquets and Briquet Rack.

OPERATION - PROPANE & NATURAL GAS GRILLS  
Checking for Gas Leaks  
Operating Instructions  
Using the Ignitor  
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.  
Check for gas leaks every time you connect your Broilmaster® pro-  
pane gas grill to a Propane gas cylinder, when a connected cylinder  
has not been used recently, or when either a natural or propane grill  
is being used for the first time.  
1. Turn knob on the grill CLOCKWISE to the OFF position.  
2. Turn ON gas at the source.  
3. With the grill lid open, push and turn the burner control knob  
COUNTERCLOCKWISE to Hi.  
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.  
4. Push and hold the ignitor button until the burner lights (approxi-  
mately 5 seconds).  
To check for gas leaks:  
5. If a burner does not light, turn OFF all gas and refer to the  
Troubleshooting section of this manual.  
1. Use dish washing liquid and a little water to make a soapy solu-  
tion.  
2. Turn OFF the knob on the control panel.  
Operating Instructions  
Using Matches  
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.  
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.  
1. Turn knob on the grill CLOCKWISE to the OFF position.  
2. Turn ON gas at the source.

OPERATION  
Electrical Accessories  
Before Cooking  
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.  
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.  
Any electrical accessory should be equipped with a three-prong  
(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.  
Preheating  
If an extension cord is required, use only a three-prong cord and  
plug into a properly grounded receptacle as described above.  
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.  
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  
Venturi Tubes  
Cleaning the Grill  
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.  
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.  
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. See Figure 23.  
4. Use a small flexible brush to remove any debris for the tube(s).  
5. Flush with water.  
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.  
6. Allow the tube(s) to dry before reinstalling.  
7. Reinstall the venturi tubes and burner.  
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.  
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.  
Grease Cup  
Empty periodically.  
Figure 23  
Note: Bowtie burner is shown. Follow the same steps for the  
H burner assembly.  
Exterior  
Clean regularly with a solution of mild detergent and hot water.  
Touch-up paint is available from your dealer. Broilmaster® protec-  
tive covers are recommended. Stainless steel components can  
be easily cleaned with a spray-on stainless steel cleaner found in  
most hardware stores.  
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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
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.  
Safety Practices to Avoid Per-  
sonal Injury  
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.  
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 prac-  
tices must be followed, including the following:  
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 chem-  
ical 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, breeze-  
ways or any enclosed areas.  
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.  
Keep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible materi-  
als, 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.  
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.  
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 consistently  
windy area (oceanfront, mountain top, etc) a windbreak will be re-  
quired. Always adhere to the specified clearance.  
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 por-  
tions of the grilling grids.  
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.  
Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthen-  
ware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. Use of these  
types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes.  
OUTDOOR USE ONLY  
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.  
Your Broilmaster Infrared Grill is designed for outdoor use  
only and must not be installed in or on recreational vehicles  
and/or boats.  
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.  
NEVER USE A DENTED OR RUSTY PROPANE TANK.  
SHUT OFF TANK WHEN NOT IN USE.  
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 extremely  
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

INFRARED COOKING  
General Overview  
not recommend cooking portion meats from a frozen state.  
3. Start slowly. Infrared grilling is unlike other outdoor cooking  
methods. It may take time to get used to the fast cooking pro-  
cess. As a benchmark, foods which generally cook in 20 min-  
utes or less on conventional grills cook in about one-half the  
conventional time on a Broilmaster infrared grill. Please refer  
to the Infrared Cooking Sample Times on pages 43 and 44.  
Broilmaster Infrared gas grills make it possible for you to enjoy  
cooking outdoors quickly and effortlessly. In minutes, you can en-  
joy steaks, hamburgers, poultry, pork chops, fish and other foods.  
You can also cook more slowly if you wish. Broilmaster's optional  
accessories are designed to enhance your grill's versatility.  
Infrared Searing Method  
Searing is a process that seals juices in food by cooking with in-  
tense heat for a short period of time. The juices stay in the food  
where they belong and the outside gets coated with flavorful  
smoke. For best results, follow these procedures when cooking.  
Indirect Cooking with a Broil-  
master Infrared Grill  
Indirect cooking is a slower process used to prepare large main  
dishes - roasts, hams, turkeys, etc. Foods are placed on one side  
of the grill and the other side is lighted to produce heat.  
Searing Method  
1. Follow the Burner Ignition procedures and operate the grill for  
5 minutes or until the burners glow uniformly.  
To protect the infrared burner from damage, place a heavy-du-  
ty disposable aluminum pan over the burner to catch drippings.  
Note: Make sure the aluminum pan is the same size or larger than  
the infrared burner. Any liquids that land on the burner while it is  
not burning may cause it to break when ignited.  
2. Set the Burner Output Knob to HIGH and place the food on  
the cooking grid for 1 - 2 minutes, or until food lifts without  
sticking.  
3. Turn the food and repeat Step 2.  
4. Depending upon your taste, continue cooking on HIGH, turn-  
ing the food frequently, or adjust the Burner Output Knob to  
a setting between LOW and "medium" and continue cooking  
until the food is cooked to your satisfaction. Turn as neces-  
sary (generally every one to three minutes).  
The pan may be filled part-way with liquid (water, marinade, etc.)  
to enhance the moisture content of the meat, but take special care  
not to spill anything onto the burner when adding liquids or when  
removing the pan after cooking.  
During the searing period, flashing might occur when juices va-  
porize on contact with the cooking grid and burner surfaces. The  
flashes and smoke greatly enhance the flavor of food.  
The intense infrared energy generated by your Broilmaster Grill has  
other advantages. For example, food is evenly cooked throughout.  
Also, upon contact with the cooking grids and burners, drippings  
vaporize into flavorful smoke that cooks back into the food.  
Flare-Up Control  
NOTICE:  
NEVER  
DOUSE  
A
FLARE-UP  
WITH  
LIQUID. IT WILL DAMAGE THE BURNER AND VOID THE WAR-  
RANTY!  
To minimize flame flare-ups:  
•
•
Trim excess fat from meat.  
Reduce heat and reposition foods away from flare-ups when  
the occur.  
•
Prevent excess grease build up by periodically cleaning cook-  
ing grids.  
Helpful Hints  
1. Use the proper tools. Long handled tongs, spatula, knife, and  
mitts or a hot pad for handling hot items. When turning or  
moving foods, use tongs or a spatula, instead of a fork. Pierc-  
ing the food with a fork allows the natural juices and flavor to  
escape.  
2. Monitor meat temperature. Bring large cuts of meat, roasts,  
or fowl to room temperature before cooking. Smaller meat  
cuts such as hamburgers, hot dogs, or small steaks may be  
cooked directly from the refrigerator. Note: Broilmaster does

OPERATION - PROPANE & NATURAL GAS GRILLS  
Operating Instructions  
Checking for Gas Leaks  
Before each use, inspect all hoses. If it is evident there is  
excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be  
replaced prior to using your Broilmaster grill. Call your local Broil-  
master dealer for a replacement.  
Check for gas leaks every time you connect your Broilmaster pro-  
pane gas grill to a Propane gas cylinder, when a connected cylinder  
has not been used recently, or when either a natural or propane grill  
is being used for the first time.  
Using the Ignitor  
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.  
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.  
Note: Each burner must be lit individually.  
To check for gas leaks:  
1. Turn knob on the grill CLOCKWISE to the OFF position.  
2. Turn ON gas at the source.  
1. Use dish washing liquid and a little water to make a soapy solu-  
tion.  
3. With the grill lid open, push and turn the burner control knob  
COUNTERCLOCKWISE to Hi.  
4. Push and hold the ignitor button until the burner lights (approxi-  
mately 5 seconds).  
5. If a burner does not light, turn OFF all gas and refer to the  
Troubleshooting section of this manual.  
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for other burner.  
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.  
Using Matches to Light the Grill  
Caution: If a burner fails to light after 5 seconds, turn the burner  
Air Shutter Adjustment For R3B Series  
Only  
The burner (venturi) tube air shutter is 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 burner (venturi) tube  
air shutter as follows:

OPERATION - PROPANE & NATURAL GAS GRILLS  
Before Cooking  
Before cooking on a grill for the first time, it should be operated to  
burn off any oil residue from the manufacturing process.  
1. Raise the grill lid.  
2. Light grill burners.  
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 open.  
This uses very little fuel and provides better flavor.  
AVOID WATER DAM-  
WARNING!  
HOOD MUST BE OPEN WHEN LIGHTING GRILL BURNERS,  
WARMING UP THE GRILL, AND WHILE GRILLING.  
HOOD MAY ONLY BE CLOSED WHILE INFRARED IS IN USE  
AND BOTH KNOBS ARE SET ON "LOW," OR WHILE BLUE

BLUE FLAME BURNER MAINTENANCE  
Cleaning the Grill  
Grease Tray  
Caution: To prevent injury, do not clean a hot grill.  
Empty periodically. Replacement tray liners can be purchased at  
most supermarkets where disposable aluminum baking pans are  
displayed.  
Note: Do not use a commercial cleaner on the cooking grids.  
Do not brush grids while they are hot.  
For baked on residue use a BRASS (NOT STEEL) brush on the  
cooking grid and other components.  
Burner (Venturi) Tubes  
The burner (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 burner (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.  
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.  
Clean burner (venturi) tubes as follows:  
1. Remove the cooking grids and briquet rack (R3B only).  
2. Remove the burner from the grill.  
3. Use a small flexible brush to remove any debris from the burner  
(venturi) tube.  
4. Flush with water.  
Grill Bottom  
5. Allow the burner (venturi) tube to dry before reinstalling.  
6. Reinstall the burner, briquet rack and briquets and cooking grids.  
Periodically remove cooking grids and Char-Master Briquets or  
flavor screen 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.  
Exterior  
Clean regularly with a solution of mild detergent and hot water.  
Touch-up paint is available from your dealer. Broilmaster protec-  
tive covers are recommended. Stainless steel components can  
be easily cleaned with a spray-on stainless steel cleaner found in  
most hardware stores.  
Blue Flame Burner Maintenance  
Visually inspect the burner flames with each use. Five minutes after  
lighting, the flames should be blue and have well defined cones.  
See Figure 40. See the troubleshooting section if the flames are  
yellow or lift off the burner.  
Char-Master Briquets  
If the briquets did not come clean during burn off, after cooling turn  
them over. The residue will burn off during warm-up for the next use.  
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.

it to swell and expand. This expansion will create pressure on the  
ceramic and cause it to crack and crumble.  
General Overview  
Proper care, maintenance and cleaning will help ensure a long life  
for your grill. Periodic cleaning will help avoid accumulations of  
flammable grease and other debris.  
To prevent burner damage caused by liquids, please do the fol-  
lowing:  
•
•
Never throw liquid into the grill to control a flare-up.  
Exterior  
Never expose the burners to the risk of soaking by rainfall,  
sprinklers or otherwise. We recommend that the grill be cov-  
ered with a heavy duty vinyl cover at all times when it is not in  
use. Do not attempt to operate your grill in the open air while  
it is raining. Finally, using the grill, close the hood as soon as  
the burners are off so that, if it rains, the burners will not be  
exposed to direct rainfall while the grill is cooling.  
Clean regularly with a solution of mild detergent and hot water.  
Touch-up paint is available from your dealer. Broilmaster protec-  
tive covers are recommended. Stainless steel components can  
be easily cleaned with a spray-on stainless steel cleaner found in  
most hardware stores.  
•
If standing water is in the grill (because of exposure to rainfall,  
etc.) examine the ceramic burner surfaces for evidence of pos-  
sible water soaking. If the ceramic appears to be wet, remove  
the burners from the grill and turn them upside down to empty  
any water from the burner box.After draining all the water, place  
the burners indoors and allow to dry thoroughly. Also, empty  
any water standing in the grill's drip tray. Then, reinstall the  
burners. After testing for gas leaks around all fittings, resume  
normal use of the grill.  
Protection of Burners  
The burners of your grill are designed to provide a long life of  
satisfactory performance. However, there are steps you must take  
to prevent cracking of their ceramic surfaces, which will cause the  
burners to malfunction. Following are the most common causes of  
cracks and the steps you must take to avoid them. Damage caused  
by failure to follow these steps is not covered by your grill warranty.  
IMPACT WITH HARD OBJECTS - Never allow hard objects to  
strike the ceramic. Take particular care when inserting or removing  
the cooking grids and accessories into or from the grill. If objects  
such as these fall onto the ceramic, it is likely to crack the ceramic.  
Cleaning  
CAUTION: ALWAYS ALLOW THE GRILL TO COOL BEFORE  
CLEANING. DO NOT LET LIQUIDS COME IN CONTACT WITH  
THE BURNER SURFACE AT ANY TIME.  
IMPAIRED VENTILATION OF HOTAIR FROM THE GRILL- In order  
for the burners to function properly, hot air created by the burners  
must have a way to escape the grill. If the hot air is not allowed  
to escape, the burners may become deprived of oxygen, causing  
them to backfire, especially if the burner output is set at HIGH. If  
this occurs repeatedly, the burners may crack. Never operate your  
grill with very little or no open space at the cooking surface (the  
cooking grids provide sufficient open space.  
Grease Tray  
Empty periodically. Replacement tray liners can be purchased at  
most supermarkets where disposable aluminum baking pans are  
displayed.  
Examples:  
•
•
DO NOT operate the grill on "HIGH" with the hood closed.  
DO NOT use accessories in combinations that cover more than  
75% of the cooking surface with solid metal.  
DO NOT cover the entire surface with aluminum foil, a large  
pan, etc.  
•
WATERAND OTHER LIQUIDS - When the burners are in operation,  
their intense heat is normally sufficient to vaporize any drippings,  
marinates or sauces that contact the surface as a by-product of  
grilling. This does not include water thrown into the grill to douse a  
flame. Cold liquid contacting a hot surface in substantial amounts  
can cause the surface to break. Also, if the ceramic or interior of a  
burner becomes wet while not in use, later operation of the burner  
can create steam, which may produce enough pressure to crack  
the ceramic. In addition, repeated soaking of the ceramic will cause

INFRARED BURNER MAINTENANCE  
Cooking Grids  
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.  
Because of the high intensity of the Infrared burner, any drippings  
and food particles that fall onto the burner surface are immediately  
incinerated. However, some debris and residue may remain. To  
remove this residue after cooking, turn the grill on HIGH for 5-10  
minutes with the hood OPEN.  
Standard Cleaning  
The cooking grids may also be removed and cleaned with a brass  
or stainless steel bristle brush and soapy solution. Standard oven  
cleaners may be used for further cleaning. Rinse the cooking grids  
thoroughly with clean water before using.  
Maintenance  
The Broilmaster requires very little maintenance. However, a  
periodic inspection of orifice openings and venturi inlets to clear  
obstructions to gas flow is recommended.  
Burner Head  
To maintain the performance of the Infrared burner it is important  
to operate the grill on HIGH for at least 5 minutes after each use.  
This procedure will leave some ash on the surface of the burner  
head. If it accumulates in excessive amounts, it will clog the small  
ports in the ceramic surface. To prevent this blockage, remove  
the cooking grid and the burner screen, and vacuum the burner  
surface with a low-suction vacuum cleaner every six months, or  
as necessary. When completing this procedure be careful not to  
scrape or strike the ceramic with the suction device, which may  
damage the ceramic.
