SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
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.  
Safety Practices to Avoid Personal  
Injury  
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:  
Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the grill is cool be-  
fore using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the grill. The  
chemical 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,  
breezeways or any enclosed areas.  
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.  
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.  
Keep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible ma-  
terials, 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.  
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.  
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.  
Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware,  
or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. Use of these  
types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes.  
Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a consistent-  
ly windy area (oceanfront, mountain top, etc) a windbreak will be  
required. Always adhere to the specified clearance.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
OUTDOOR USE ONLY  
Your Broilmaster Infrared Grill is designed for outdoor use  
only and must not be installed in or on recreational vehicles  
and/or boats.  
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.  
NEVER USEADENTED OR RUSTY PROPANE TANK.  
SHUT OFF TANK WHEN NOT IN USE.  
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 ex-  
tremely hot and could cause burns.

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 sup-  
plier.  
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 absence of  
local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code,ANSI Z223.1/  
NFPA 54, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA  
B149.1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2.  
Propane gas cylinders should always be handled, stored,  
and transported with extreme caution in a secured upright  
position.  
Warning: Broilmaster Premium Gas Grills require Liq-  
uid Propane (LP) cylinders equipped with an Overfill  
Protection Device (OPD). An overfilled or improperly  
filled Propane cylinder can be dangerous.  
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.  
Alwaysusethepressureregulatorandhoseassemblysupplied

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 male 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 speci-  
fied by the manufacturer.  
Connecting to Propane Gas / Cylinder Retention Means  
Position the cylinder in the opening in the bottom of the cart and secure with the cylinder retaining bracket.  
See Figure 14.  
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 15.  
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 cylin-  
der’s valve and the grill’s control valve. Remove the regulator  
by turning the plastic handwheel counterclockwise.  
When not in use, the cylinder's valve must be closed.

INFRARED COOKING  
General Overview  
Helpful Hints  
Broilmaster Infrared gas grills make it possible for you to  
enjoy cooking outdoors quickly and effortlessly. In minutes,  
you can enjoy 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.  
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. Piercing the food with a fork allows  
the natural juices and flavor to escape.  
Infrared Searing Method  
2. Monitor meat temperature. Bring large cuts of meat,  
roads, or fowl to room temperature before cooking.  
Smaller meat cuts such as hamburgers, hot dogs, or  
small steaks may be cooked directly from the refrig-  
erator. Note: Broilmaster does not recommend cooking  
portion meats from a frozen state.  
Searing is a process that seals juices in food by cooking  
with intense 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 proce-  
dures when cooking.  
3. Start slowly. Infrared grilling is unlike other outdoor  
cooking methods. It may take time to get used to the  
fast cooking process. As a benchmark, foods which  
generally cook in 20 minutes 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 page 21.  
Searing Method  
1. Follow the Burner Ignition procedures and operate the  
grill for 5 minutes or until the burners glow uniformly.  
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,  
turning 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 satis-  
faction. Turn as necessary (generally every one to three  
minutes).  
Indirect Cooking with a Broilmas-  
ter 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.  
During the searing period, flashing might occur when juices  
vaporize on contact with the cooking grid and burner sur-  
faces. The flashes and smoke greatly enhance the flavor of  
food.  
To protect the infrared burner from damage, place a heavy-  
duty 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.  
The intense infrared energy generated by your Broilmas-  
ter 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.  
The pan may be filled part-way with liquid (water, mari-  
nade, 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.  
Flare-Up Control  
NOTICE: NEVER DOUSE A FLARE-UP WITH  
LIQUID. IT WILL DAMAGE THE BURNER AND  
VOID THE WARRANTY!  
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  
cooking grids.

OPERATION - PROPANE & NATURAL GAS GRILLS  
Operating Instructions  
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  
Broilmaster dealer for a replacement.  
Checking for Gas Leaks  
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.  
To check for gas leaks:  
Note: Each burner must be lit individually.  
1. Use dish washing liquid and a little water to make a soapy  
solution.  
2. Turn OFF the knob on the control panel.  
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.  
4. Push and hold the ignitor button until the burner lights (ap-  
proximately 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.  
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  
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:  
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.  
1. Turn knob on the grill CLOCKWISE to the OFF position.  
2. Turn ON gas at the source.  
3. Open the grill lid.  
1. Turn gas OFF and let the burner cool.

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.

BLUE FLAME BURNER MAINTENANCE  
Cleaning the Grill  
Grease Tray  
Empty periodically. Replacement tray liners can be  
purchased at most supermarkets where disposable aluminum  
baking pans are displayed.  
Caution: To prevent injury, do not clean a hot grill.  
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.  
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.  
5. Allow the burner (venturi) tube to dry before  
reinstalling.  
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.  
Grill Bottom  
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. Broil-  
master protective 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 20. 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 cool-  
ing 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.

surface in substantial amounts can cause the surface to break.  
General Overview  
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 it to  
swell and expand. This expansion will create pressure on the  
ceramic and cause it to crack and crumble.  
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.  
Exterior  
Clean regularly with a solution of mild detergent and hot  
water. Touch-up paint is available from your dealer. Broil-  
master protective covers are recommended. Stainless steel  
components can be easily cleaned with a spray-on stainless  
steel cleaner found in most hardware stores.  
To prevent burner damage caused by liquids, please do the  
following:  
Never throw liquid into the grill to control a flare-up.  
Never expose the burners to the risk of soaking by rain-  
fall, sprinklers or otherwise. We recommend that the grill  
be covered 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.  
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.  
If standing water is in the grill (because of exposure to  
rainfall, etc.) examine the ceramic burner surfaces for evi-  
dence of possible 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.  
IMPACTWITH 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.  
IMPAIRED VENTILATION OF HOT AIR 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.  
Cleaning  
CAUTION: ALWAYS ALLOW THE GRILL TO COOL  
BEFORE CLEANING. DO NOT LET LIQUIDS COME  
IN CONTACT WITH THE BURNER SURFACE AT ANY  
TIME.  
Grease Tray  
Examples:  
Empty periodically. Replacement tray liners can be  
purchased at most supermarkets where disposable aluminum  
baking pans are displayed.  
DO NOT operate the grill on "HIGH" with the hood  
closed.  
DO NOTuse 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.  
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.  
WATER AND 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  
Because of the high intensity of the Infrared burner, any  
drippings and food particles that fall onto the burner sur-

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.
