GRILL ASSEMBLY
Before You Begin
Recommended Tools
All Broilmaster grills require some assembly and
installation. Follow all instructions unless noted to apply
only to other specific models.
These items are recommended for the assembly of your
grill:
• Phillips screwdriver
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.
• Adjustable wrench set
• Socket set
• Soapy water solution (to test for leaks)
• Liquid soap (for foam grip)
Each step of the installation is illustrated. In each
illustration parts are identified with “Key” numbers.
Key numbers appear in parenthesis after a part name is
mentioned for the first time in the instructions and are
labeled on the illustrations. You can reference each part
by its key number on the Parts List if you need help in
identifying a part.
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.
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 un-
packing, assembly and installation.

Place the briquet rack (8) or flavor screen rack (28) on
the burner assembly.

Figure 9
Position the flavor screen (29) on to flavor screen rack
(28) or the ceramic briquets (7) evenly on the briquette
rack without overlapping.

For Smoker Shutter installation see DPA100 manual
included with your P3S grill.
8
Set the multilevel cooking grids Figure 9.
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 9.
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
postheating) of a grill will clean the ‘Char-Master’
briquets. Periodically turn the briquets over while they
are cool.

PROPANE GAS GRILLS
Grill Location
Gas Type
When choosing the ideal location for your Broilmaster®
Premium Gas Grill, remember this grill is designed for
outdoor use ONLY.
Never use Liquid Propane (LP) gas with a grill designed
for Natural gas, or Natural gas with a grill designed for
Liquid Propane gas. 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 gas supplier.
You should never install or operate your grill in any
building, garage, or other enclosed area.
For your safety, this grill should not be installed or oper-
ated under any combustible materials, such as carports,
covered porches, awnings, or overhangs.
Cylinder Requirements
Your Broilmaster® Premium Gas Grill requires a stan-
dard twenty (20) pound propane gas cylinder.
Never install or operate your grill in or on any recre-
ational vehicle or boat.
The maximum height allowable for a replacement
cylinder is approximately twelve (12") inches (30.5
centimeters).
CAUTION: The installation and operation of
this grill at clearances less than specified below
may lead to the possibility of fire, property dam-
age, or personal injury.
The propane gas cylinder used must be:
1. Constructed and marked in accordance with the
specifications for LP gas cylinder of the U.S. De-
partment of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders,
Spheres, and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous
Goods; and Commission as applicable.
2. Provided with a listed overfilling protection device
(OPD).
A minimum clearance of sixteen (16") inches is re-
quired from the sides of the grill to any combustible
material.
A minimum clearance of eighteen (18") inches is re-
quired from the back of the grill to any combustible
material.
Some examples of combustible materials are a wall, a
fence, patio furniture, or the wall of your home.
3. Provided with a listed safety device having direct
access with the vapor space of the cylinder and the
cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor
removal.
4. Provided with a shutoff valve terminating in a valve
outlet as specified in the Standard for Compressed
Gas Cylinder Outlet and Inlet Connections, AN-
SICGA-V-1.
The area surrounding the grill should be clear to ensure
proper ventilation. Do not obstruct the flow of com-
bustion and ventilation air in any way. The ventilation
openings on the propane cylinder enclosure must also
remain free and clear of debris.
5. Provided with a plug to effectively seal off the
cylinder outlet when the cylinder is being stored or
transported.
Portable grills should be level and positioned away from
direct wind prior to each use.
6. Provided with a collar to protect the cylinder
valve.
WARNING: Do not install or operate this grill
where gasoline or other flammable materials

PROPANE GAS GRILLS
Propane Cylinder Safety
Connection Requirements
Liquid Propane (LP) gas has a long history of safe use
when the safety precautions provided in this manual
are followed.
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.
Failure to follow these safety precautions could
result in a fire or explosion causing property
damage or personal injury.
Installation must conform to local codes or, in the ab-
sence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1. In Canada, installation shall be in ac-
cordance 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 regula-
tions and recommended procedures.
Propane gas cylinders should always be handled,
stored, and transported with extreme caution in a se-
cured 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.
Warning: Broilmaster® PremiumGasGrillsrequire
Liquid Propane (LP) cylinders equipped with an
Overfill Protection Device (OPD). An overfilled or
improperly filled Propane cylinder can be danger-
ous.
Apropane gas cylinder should never be transported in
the passenger area of a vehicle.
Keep cylinders out of direct sunlight and never apply
any other source of direct heat to them.
Always use the pressure regulator and hose assembly
supplied with your Propane gas grill.
When refilling your cylinder, always insist on a repu-
table, qualified gas dealer. Your propane gas cylinder
is filled by weight, and should never exceed eighty
(80%) percent of its weight limit. If the cylinder is not
completely empty, the gas dealer must make necessary
adjustments to ensure it is not overfilled. Never use
an overfilled Propane gas cylinder.
Note: Not all valve and cylinder combinations are
compatible. Check warning tag on valve and cylinder
as well as external fitting threads.
All Broilmaster® pressure regulators and hose assem-
blies require Propane cylinders with a Type 1 connec-
tion device as illustrated. Figure 10.
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.
Figure 10
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.

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 other-
wise specified by the manufacturer.
Connecting to Propane Gas
Position the cylinder in the opening in the bottom of the cart and secure with the cylinder retaining bracket. Figure

OPERATION
Before Cooking
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/NFPA70.
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.
Any electrical accessory should be equipped with a
three-prong (grounding) plug, and plugged into a prop-
erly grounded three-prong receptacle or wall outlet. Do
not cut or remove the grounding prong from the plug.
5. Turn OFF gas. The grill is now ready for use.
If an extension cord is required, use only a three-prong
cord and plug into a properly grounded receptacle as
described above.
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 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.
Cooking
Broilmaster® is happy to provide a cookbook with each
of its grills. The cookbook contains helpful cooking
tips and instructions as well as great tasting recipes for
preparing many delicious foods on your grill.

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
Clean venturi tubes as follows:
This process is much like that used in self-cleaning ovens
and is most efficient when completed after each use of
the grill.
1. Remove the cooking grids and briquette rack.
2. Remove the burner from 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.
3. Lay the burner face down and remove the four
retaining screws from the venturi tube plate and the
burner. Figure 17.
4. Use a small flexible brush to remove any debris for
the tube(s).
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.
5. Flush with water.
6. Allow the
tube(s) to
dry before
reinstalling.
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.
7. Reinstall the
venturi tubes
and burner.
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.
Figure 17
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.
Exterior
Clean regularly with a solution of mild detergent and
hot water. Touch-up paint is available from your dealer.
Broilmaster® protective covers are recommended. Stain-
less steel components can be easily cleaned with a spray-on
stainless steel cleaner found in most hardware stores.
Grease Tray
Empty periodically. Replacement tray liners can be
purchased at most supermarkets where disposable
aluminum baking pans are displayed.
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.
