ROTISSERIE OPERATION
Rotisserie Use
Using the Ignitor
Warning: Do not operate the side burner option simultane-
ously with the rotisserie. The side burner will melt the rotisserie
handle.
Caution: If burner fails to light after 5 seconds, turn the burner
OFF for 5 minutes, to allow the gas to clear, then try again.
Attention: You must use the control knob that is second from the
left side of grill to ignite the rotisserie.
Secure meat firmly to the spit rod with meat holders (It may be
necessary to tie fowl and rolled roasts to retain their shape for even
rotation). To ensure proper rotation, it is important to adequately
balance and fasten the meat or fowl onto the spit rod.
1. Turn the control knob clockwise

to the OFF posi-
2. Turn ON gas supply to grill.
3. With the grill lid open, push and turn the rotisserie control
knob counterclockwise to ON.
4. Push and hold the ignitor button until the rotisserie burner
ignites.
Before heating the grill, rotate the spit rod and meat manually a
few times. If out of balance, attach the counterbalance assembly
to the spit to even out the weight and rotate again.
During cooking, adjust the meat holders if the meat shrinks and
pulls away from the spit rod. Use gloves and caution to prevent
burns.
Attention: When igniting the rotisserie burner, hold rotisserie
control knob in for 30 seconds in order to energize the thermo-
couple.
Be certain that the rotisserie brackets and motor are secured in place,
then light the burner and close the grill lid for preheating.

clockwise
to the OFF position. Turn OFF gas supply
to grill. Refer to Troubleshooting section in this manual.
Before rotisserie cooking you will need to remove the warming rack
and the Cooking Grids from your grill. When Rotisserie Cooking
you can place a Cooking pan under the food to be cooked. This will
capture the drippings and keep your grill clean of excess grease
which could cause a fire. Use caution when moving a cooking pan
containing hot oils.
Note: Beef and pork roasts and certain types of fowl will release
a considerable amount of fat and juice in the process of cooking
and are therefore “self-basting.” Lean meat and chicken will taste
better if basted occasionally with melted butter, margarine, salad
oil, barbeque sauce or a sauce of your own preference.
The exact degree of “doneness” can be determined by the use of
a meat thermometer.
The Rotisserie Motor is rated to turn a maximum load of
12 pounds.

OPERATION
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Checking for Gas Leaks
Using Matches
Check for gas leaks every time you connect your Superb by
Broilmaster® propane 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.
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.
Caution: Do not use a flame when checking for leaks. Checking
for leaks with a flame may lead to a fire or explosion, resulting
in property damage or personal injury.
Attention: You must use the control knob on the right side of the
grill to ignite the first burner. The second burner to be ignited will
be the second from right side of grill and so forth, always moving
from right to left.
To check for gas leaks:
1. Use dish washing liquid and a little water to make a soapy
solution.
Attention: The control knob that is second from left side of grill is
for the rotisserie. See Rotisserie Operation on page 15.
2. Turn OFF the knobs 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.
1. Turn the right control knob clockwise
position.
2. Turn ON gas supply to the grill.

OPERATION (cont.)
Before Cooking
Before cooking on a grill for the first time, it should be “burned off”
to remove 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 closed.
This uses very little fuel and provides better flavor.
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.
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.
If an extension cord is required, use only a three-prong cord and
plug into a properly grounded receptacle as described above.
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
Cleaning the Grill
Grease Tray
Caution: To prevent injury, do not clean a hot grill.
Empty periodically.
Note: Do not use a commercial cleaner on the cooking grids. Do
not brush grids while they are hot. Do not scrape grids.
Exterior
Clean regularly with a solution of mild detergent and hot water.
Superb by 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.
For baked on residue use a BRASS (NOT STEEL) brush on the
cooking grids 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.
Venturi Tubes
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: Do not open the grill during the burn off process.
Opening the grill during the burn off process may cause a sud-
den grease fire flare up that could burn your face and arms.
Wait until the grill has cooled before opening.
1. Turn control knobs 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 control knobs and gas supply to OFF and allow the grill
to cool.
Clean Rotisserie burner and venturi tubes as follows:
1. Remove rotisserie burner back cover (5 Phillips screws - 4 on
the back and 1 on the inside top).
3. Wipe COOL grill with a damp cloth to remove soot.
2. Use a small flexible brush to remove any debris from the
venturi tubes (interior of burners).
3. Replace rotisserie burner back cover.
Grill Bottom
Periodically remove cooking grids and flame tamers 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.
Electrode Position
Igniter electrode tips need to be placed about 1/8” from the burner
surface in order to work properly. Adjust accordingly if it is mis-
aligned. See Figure 21.
