SAFETY
Both NATURAL gas and PROPANE (also known as LP) gas have a long history of safe use when rules listed
below are followed. If they are not followed, there is a danger of fire, explosion or personal injury.
Installation must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1. In Canada, 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
NATURAL gas company or PROPANE gas dealer for code regulations and recommended procedures.
Never use PROPANE gas in a grill designed for NATURAL gas or NATURAL gas in a grill designed for
PROPANE gas. Please consult your local gas company for any questions about propane or natural gas.
Propane Gas Grills
On PROPANE gas grills, use only the PROPANE gas cylinder (tank) recommended or supplied. Broilmaster’s
PROPANE gas grills are for use with standard 20 pound PROPANE gas cylinders. DO NOT CONNECT A
BROILMASTER PROPANE GAS GRILL TO A PROPANE GAS CYLINDER EXCEEDING 20 POUNDS
CAPACITY. A cylinder of approximately 12-1/8” (30.8 centimeters) tall is the maximum size cylinder allowed.
The LP gas supply cylinder to be used must be:
1. constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinder of the U.S.
Department 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 prevention device;
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 withdrawal;
4. provided with a shutoff valve terminating in a valve outlet as specified in the Standard for
Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve Outlet and Inlet Connections, ANSICGA-V-1;
5. provided with a plug to effectively seal off the cylinder outlet when the cylinder is being stored or
transported;
6. provided with a collar to protect the cylinder valve.
Always use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with each PROPANE gas grill. The pressure
regulator has an outlet pressure of not more than 11 inches water column and is to be connected to the
PROPANE gas cylinder’s female valve before the grill can be operated. Keep the pressure regulator’s fitting
clean and free of nicks and scratches. A dirty, nicked or scratched fitting can cause a gas leak, resulting in an
explosion or fire when connected to the PROPANE gas cylinder. Replacement parts must be as specified by
the repair parts list or as specified by Broilmaster.
CAUTION: OPERATION OF A PROPANE GAS GRILL WITHOUT THE PRESSURE REGULATOR AND
HOSE ASSEMBLY WILL CAUSE GAS LEAKS WHICH COULD CAUSE A FIRE, EXPLOSION OR
PERSONAL INJURY.
NOTE: SOME VALVE AND TANK COMBINATIONS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE. CHECK WARNING TAG ON
VALVE AND TANK; ALSO CHECK EXTERNAL THREADS OF FITTINGS. Broilmaster pressure regulator and
hose assemblies are equipped for cylinders with a Type 1 cylinder connection device.
Handle PROPANE gas cylinders with care:
A. If the cylinder’s outlet valve is damaged, do not attempt to use or repair. The cylinder must be replaced.
B. DO NOT store a grill indoors unless the PROPANE gas cylinder is disconnected and removed from the grill.
When the cylinder is installed on the grill they must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
C. Disconnected cylinders must have a threaded valve plug tightly installed and must not be stored in a build
ing, garage or any other enclosed space. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
D. Do not apply heat directly to a PROPANE gas cylinder.
E. Always transport, store and use PROPANE gas cylinders in an upright secure position.
F. DO NOT carry PROPANE gas cylinders in the passenger area of a vehicle.
G. For PROPANE gas grills, have PROPANE gas cylinders filled by a qualified gas dealer; cylinders are to be
filled by weight, to no more than 80% of physical capacity.

Natural Gas Grills
NATURAL gas grills do not have a pressure regulator. Broilmaster Natural gas grills operate at a manifold
pressure of 7 inches water column.
For NATURAL gas grills, contact your local gas company to have a gas supply line installed for the grill. For
NATURAL gas grills installed on a cart, use Broilmaster’s NG12 twelve foot flexible hose and quick disconnect
kit to connect the grill to a pre-installed gas supply line.
All Grills
Check for gas leaks, after connecting a PROPANE gas cylinder, when a cylinder has not been used recently,
or when a grill is being used for the first time. Use soapy water to check for leaks. Refer to CHECKING FOR
LEAKS at the end of the Installation section.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE CANDLES, MATCHES OR OTHER IGNITION SOURCES WHEN CHECKING FOR
LEAKS. GASES ARE VERY FLAMMABLE AND, IN CERTAIN CONCENTRATIONS, EXPLOSIVE.
CHECKING FOR LEAKS WITH AN OPEN FLAME MAY LEAD TO FIRE, EXPLOSION OR PERSONAL
INJURY.
DO NOT use grill until all leaks are repaired. Always turn gas OFF at the valve on the PROPANE gas cylinder
or, for NATURAL gas, at the supply line shutoff valve when grill is not in use.
Inspect grill’s hose before each use of the grill. If there is excessive wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced.
Replace only with the hose assembly specified by the repair parts list or as specified by Broilmaster.
GRILL LOCATION
This grill was designed for outdoor use and should not be used in any building, garage or other enclosed area,
nor is it intended for use in or on any recreational vehicle or boat.
Never use the grill under combustible materials. (carport, covered porch, patio umbrella, etc.)
Minimum clearance from sides of grill to combustible materials (walls, fences, etc.) must be at least 16 inches.
Minimum clearance from back of grill must not be less than 18 inches.
CAUTION: IF THIS GRILL IS INSTALLED AND OPERATED AT CLEARANCES LESS THAN THOSE
SPECIFIED BY THESE INSTRUCTIONS, THE POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR
PERSONAL INJURY MAY EXIST.
CAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THIS GRILL IN ANY AREA WHERE EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS SUCH
AS GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS ARE BEING USED OR STORED, THE
FLAME PRODUCED BY THE GRILL IS EXPOSED AND FLAME CONTACT WITH ANYTHING EXPLOSIVE
OR FLAMMABLE WILL RESULT IN EXPLOSION OR FIRE.
Keep area around grill clear. Do not obstruct grill’s combustion and ventilation air flow.
Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris.
Make sure grill is level prior to use.

IF A BURNER DOES NOT IGNITE
1. Turn that burner’s gas knob clockwise to OFF.
2. Wait five minutes for the gas to clear before again attempting to ignite that burner.
3. If the burner still does not ignite, turn that burner’s gas knob clockwise to OFF and refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING
section of this manual for solutions to the problem.
BREAK- IN
Before cooking on a new grill for the first time, break it in to get rid of fumes and oil from the manufacturing process.
1. Raise grill lid.
2. Ignite grill burner (both sides).
3. Burn on HI for ten minutes with grill lid open.
4. Close grill lid and burn on HI for an additional ten minutes.
5. Grill is ready for cooking, or the burner may be turned off.
PREHEAT
Before cooking on a grill, always preheat it for at least five minutes on HI burner setting with its grill lid closed. This gives
the briquets time to heat up in the gas flames. Hot briquets cause better, quicker cooking and better flavor.
CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL PREHEATING ON HI BURNER SETTING WITH THE GRILL LID CLOSED
FOR LONGER THAN 30 MINUTES.
NOTE: NEVER OPERATE THE SIDE BURNER WITH ITS LID CLOSED.
COOKING
A cookbook is provided with each new grill. The cookbook contains helpful cooking tips and instructions as well as great
recipes which tell exactly how to prepare many delicious foods on a Broilmaster grill.
MAINTENANCE
LOW FLAME ADJUSTMENT
Low flame setting for the burners is preset at factory. To adjust the flame height up or down at the lowest valve setting.
1. Light the burner on HI setting.
2. Turn the burner’s gas knob to LO setting.
3. Remove the gas knob and locate screw in center of the hollow valve stem.
4. Use a small screwdriver to turn the screw counterclockwise for a higher flame or clockwise for a lower flame.
CAUTION: If flame is adjusted to low, a strong wind condition could blow out the flame. The flame’s maximum height
(see A of figure 15) at LO valve setting should be no more than 1-1/2".
5. Put gas knob back on the valve stem after adjustment is complete.
BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT
Venturi air shutters on grill burners are preset at the factory so that after five minutes of operation the burner flames
should be blue with well-defined cones. However, if after five minutes of operation, the burner flame is yellow or there is
a gap between the burner and flame, adjust the burner’s venturi air shutter as follows:
1. Turn gas OFF and let burner cool.
2. Loosen venturi air shutter’s set screw figure 16.
3. Close the venturi by rotating the air shutter (figure 16) to the minimum air opening.
4. Light the burner, wait five minutes and then carefully open the venturi air shutter until the burner flame is blue with well-
defined cones.
5. Tighten the venturi air shutter’s set screw (figure 16).
NOTE: Other causes for a yellow flame are spider webs in venturi, seasoning salts on burner, and oil film on burner.

CARE AND CLEANING
1. COOKING GRID: Wipe with paper towels immediately after cooking and while grease is hot. DO NOT use a
commercial oven cleaner. Brush with brass bristle brush (available as accessory #DPA21). DO NOT use steel wire
brush.
2. BURN OFF: After each use of grill - -
A. Turn gas knob to HI.
B. Close grill lid and allow grill to burn for 10 minutes or until smoke no longer comes from grill.
CAUTION: A flare-up may occur if grill lid is opened.
C. Turn gas knob to OFF and allow grill to cool.
3. INSIDE AIR HOLES: Periodically, remove grids, briquet rack, and clean. COVER orifice openings with aluminum foil
and scrape accumulations inside grill with a putty knife. Clean bottom air holes with small knife. Rinse with water.
4. BURNER MAINTENANCE: Stainless steel burners often oxidize to a reddish brown color. This will not affect
performance. At least twice a year, remove and clean burners with a brass - not steel - brush and a mild detergent.
Spiders and other small insects can build webs or nests in the venturi tubes of a grill’s burner and obstruct the gas
flow. A fire in and around the venturi tubes could occur because of the obstruction, This type of fire, known as
flashback, could damage components located beneath the grill and create an unsafe operating condition. To reduce
chances of flashback, frequent inspection and cleaning inside the venturi tubes is necessary. Cleanings are
recommended at least twice a month during late summer and early fall when spiders are most active; cleaning is also
recommended if the grill has not been used in a long while. To clean the venturi tubes, remove them and flush them
out with water, then use a wire or a small flexible bottle brush to remove any debris which was not flushed out by the
water. Allow the tubes to dry before reinstalling. If the grill is equipped with a side burner, its burner should also be
removed along with the grill’s venturi tubes and cleaned too in the same manner as the grill’s venturi tubes. If flashback
ever does occur, turn the gas knobs to their OFF position and turn off source of gas; wait until the burners cool, then
remove and clean accordingly as described above. Check for damage and make any necessary repairs before using
the grill or side burner again.
5. EXTERIOR: Clean regularly with a solution of mild detergent and hot water . Touch-Up paint (accessory number
DPA18) is available from your Broilmaster dealer. Protective vinyl covers are also available and recommended.
6. BRIQUETS: If they are not cleaned after a burn-off, wait until they cool and turn them over. The next time your use
your grill, the residue will burn off during normal warm-up.
