1. Store the LP gas cylinder outdoors in a well-ventilated place.
2. Do not store the LP gas cylinder in direct sunlight, near a source of heat or combustion.
3. If you intend to store the grill indoors, disconnect and remove the LP gas cylinder first. Disconnected cylinders must have a dust cap installed and must not be stored in a  building, garage or any enclosed area.
4. Keep out of the reach of children.
5. When the LP gas cylinder is connected to the gas grill, the gas grill and LP gas cylinder must be stored outside in a well-ventilated place.

OPERATION

1. Never connect your gas grill to an LP gas cylinder without the regulator provided, and NEVER TO AN UNREGULATED LP GAS SUPPLY. The regulator supplied with the barbecue must be used.
2. Always leak-test the LP gas cylinder to regulator connection when connecting the LP gas cylinder to the appliance. See “Leak Testing.” (page 5)
3. Do not operate the appliance if the smell of LP gas is present. Extinguish all flame and determine the source of the LP gas leak before proceeding. Do not ignite the appliance until the  LP gas leak has been found and sealed.
4. Always shut off the LP gas cylinder valve when the appliance is not in use.

OPD EQUIPPED CYLINDER

OVERFILL PREVENTION DEVICE

1. The standard for outdoor gas appliances, ANSI Z21.58/ CAN/CGA-1.6, requires that appliances be used with cylinders equipped with an Overfill Prevention Device (OPD).
2. The OPD is designed to reduce the potential for the overfilling of propane cylinders, thus reducing the possibility of relief valve discharges of raw propane. The OPD causes a slower purge/fill operation. Some consumers have been advised by filling stations that these cylinders are “defective.” This is not a defect. Some propane filling stations may not be aware of this device and its effect on the purge/fill operation.
3. New OPDs coming onto the market have technology that allows for much greater BTU outputs which will decrease the amount of time it takes to purge a cylinder.

IDENTIFICATION
To identify these cylinders, the OPD hand wheel has been standardized to the shape shown.

1. All models are equipped with a hose and regulator with a QCC®-1 Quick Closing Coupling.

2. The QCC® coupling contains a magnetic Flow Limiting Device which will limit the flow of gas should there be a leak between the regulator and the appliance valve.
   This device will activate if the cylinder valve is opened while the appliance valves are open. Be sure the appliance valves are off before the cylinder valve is opened to prevent accidental activation.

3. The QCC® coupling incorporates a heat-sensitive hand wheel that will cause the back check module in the QCC® cylinder valve to close when exposed to temperatures between 240° and 300°F. Should this occur, do not attempt to reconnect the hand wheel. Remove the hose/regulator assembly and replace it with a new one.

4. The pressure regulator is set at 11 inches WC (water column) and is for use with LP gas only. The hose and hose couplings comply with CGA Standard CAN 1.83. No modifications or substitutions should be attempted.

5. Protect the hose from dripping grease and do not allow the hose to touch any hot surface, including the base casting of the barbecue.

6. Inspect the seal in the QCC® cylinder valve when replacing the LP gas cylinder or once per year whichever is more frequent. Replace the seal if there is any indication of cracks, creases, or abrasion.

7. Inspect the hose before each use. If the hose is cracked, cut, abraded or damaged in any way, the appliance must not be operated.

8. For repair or replacement of the hose/regulator assembly, contact customer service.

CONNECTION

1. Be sure the cylinder valve and appliance valves are “OFF.”

2. Place full LP gas cylinder in LP tank well and secure base as per assembly instructions.

3. Center the nipple in the cylinder valve and hold it in place.
   Using another hand, turn the hand wheel clockwise until there is a positive stop. Do not use tools. Hand tightens only. When making the connection, hold the regulator in parallel with the cylinder valve, so as not to cross-thread the connection.

4. Leak test connections. See “Leak Testing.” (Page 5)

5. Refer to lighting instructions. To avoid activating the Flow Limiting Device when lighting, open the cylinder valve slowly with the appliance valves off. If the Flow Limiting  Device is accidentally activated, turn off the cylinder valve and appliance valves, wait 10 seconds to allow the device to reset, open the cylinder valve slowly, then open the appliance valve.

DISCONNECTION
Always close the LP cylinder valve and remove the coupling nut before moving the cylinder from the specified operation position.

LEAK TESTING

All factory-made connections have been rigorously tested for gas leaks. However, shipping and handling may have loosened a gas fitting.

AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION:

• Test all fittings for leaks before using your gas grill.• Test the cylinder valve for leaks each time the cylinder is filled.
  

• Test for leaks every time you connect a gas fitting.
  

• Do not smoke at any time while testing.
  

• Never test for leaks with a lit match or open flame.
  

• Test for leaks outdoors.

TO TEST FOR LEAKS:

1. Extinguish any open flame or cigarettes in the area.

2. Be sure that the cylinder valve and gas grill valves are “OFF.”

3. Connect the LP gas cylinder. See “Hose and Regulator”. (Page 5)

4. Prepare a soap solution of one part water, and one part liquid detergent.

5. With a full gas cylinder, open the cylinder slowly.

6. Brush the soap solution on each connection.
   

7. A leak is identified by a flow of bubbles from the area of the leak.

8. If a leak is detected, close the gas cylinder “shut-off” valve, tighten the connection, and retest.

9. If the leak persists, contact your gas grill dealer for assistance. Do not attempt to operate the appliance if a leak is present.

If your gas grill is equipped with a side burner or rear burner:

1. Follow steps 1 – 5 above
2. Place your fingertip over the opening in the orifice at the end of the hose.
3. Turn the “SIDE”/”REAR” control to “HIGH.”
4. Brush soap solution on each connection between the orifice and the control valve.
5. Turn the “SIDE”/”REAR” control to “OFF”.

Always keep venturi tubes clean. Blockages in the venturi tubes caused by spiders, insects, and nests can cause a  flashback fire. In fact, although the gas grill may still light, the backed-up gas can ignite and cause a fire around the venturi tubes at the control panel or the side burner.

If a flashback fire occurs, turn off gas at the source immediately
Inspect and clean the venturi tubes (main burner, side burner, rear burner) if any of the following symptoms occur:

1. You smell gas.
2. Your gas grill does not reach temperature.
3. Your gas grill heats unevenly.
4. The burners make popping noises.

INSPECTING & CLEANING VENTURI TUBES 

1. Turn off the gas by closing the propane cylinder valve

2. When the gas grill is cool, remove the burner fasteners and the top portion of the collector box. Proceed to lift the burners from the gas grill housing.

3. Clean the venturi tubes with a pipe cleaner or venturi cleaning tool (Accessory #77310 or #18270).
   

4. Lower the burner into position in the gas grill housing, making sure that the venturi tubes are correctly aligned and fitted on the orifices.

5. Secure burners with burner fasteners. Snap the top portion of the collector box back in place

OPERATION

First Time Use: Before cooking on your gas grill for the first time, burn it off to rid it of any odors or foreign matter in the following manner:

1. With cooking grids installed in position, light the gas grill following lighting instructions (see Page 10) and operate the gas grill on “HIGH” for 10-15 minutes. Next, turn the gas source off then turns all control knobs to the “OFF” position.
2. When the gas grill is cool, thoroughly season cooking grids by spraying or wiping olive or vegetable oil on them. Ensure that the entire surface is generously coated including the corners. For cast iron cooking grids, light seasoning should be done before every usage.
3. You are ready to grill. Proceed to “Preheating.”

Preheating: Preheat the gas grill on MEDIUM/HIGH with the lid closed for ten minutes. Reduce heat as appropriate for what you are grilling. Firmly but carefully scrub grids with a wire grill brush. Next, brush or spray the grids with vegetable or olive oil to prevent food from sticking.
Lid Position: The position of the lid during cooking is a matter of personal preference, but the gas grill cooks faster, uses less fuel, and controls the temperature best with the lid closed. A closed lid also imparts a smokier flavor to meat cooked directly on the grid, and is essential for smoking and convection cooking.
Vaporization Systems: Your gas grill is designed for use with the included Flav-R-Wave™ vaporization system. Do not use lava rock, ceramic briquettes, or any other vaporization system other than the one that came with the gas grill.

COOKING TEMPERATURES
High Setting: Produces temperatures at the cooking grid of approximately 600 – 650°F (320 – 340° C). Use this setting only for fast warm-up or for burning food residue from the cooking grids after cooking. This setting is also ideal for quickly searing steaks before reducing the temperature. Rarely, if ever, do you use the HIGH setting for extended cooking.
Medium/High: Produces temperatures at the cooking grid of approximately 550°F (290 ° C). Use this setting for a warm-up and for grilling steaks and chops.
Medium: Produces temperatures inside the gas grill of approximately 450° F (230°C) with the lid down. Use this setting for most grilling of chicken, burgers, and vegetables as well as for roasting and baking.
Low: Produces temperatures inside the gas grill of approximately 310- 350° F (155-175° C). Use this setting for all smoke cooking, large cuts of meat, delicate fish and dough, and pastry such as quesadillas.

These temperatures are approximate only and vary with the outside temperature and the amount of wind.

COOKING TECHNIQUES

DIRECT GRILLING
The direct grilling method involves cooking the food on grids directly over a lit burner. Direct grilling is the most popular method for most single-serving items such as steaks,  chops, fish, burgers, kebabs, and vegetables.

1. Prepare food in advance to avoid delay and timing problems. If using marinade or spices, they should be applied before placing meat on the cooking grid. If basting with sauces, they should be applied in the last 2-4 minutes of grilling to avoid burning.

2. Organize the area around the gas grill to include forks, tongs, oven mitts, sauces, and seasonings to allow you to stay in the vicinity of the gas grill while cooking.

3. Bring meat to room temperature just prior to grilling. Trim excess fat from meat to minimize the “flare-ups” that are caused by dripping grease.

4. Preheat the gas grill to the desired temperature with the lid closed.

5. Coat the grids with vegetable or olive oil to prevent food from sticking to the grids.

6. Hold the salt when cooking meats on the gas grill. The meat will stay juicier if the salt is added after cooking.

7. To prevent steaks from “drying out,” use tongs rather than
   a fork and start on “MEDIUM/HIGH” to sear the meat and seal juices in. Reduce the heat and extend cooking times when grilling thicker cuts of meat.

8. Learn to test when the meat is done by time and feel. Meat firms up as it cooks. When the meat is soft it is rare. When it is firm, it is well done.

9. Follow the perfect steak grilling guide for most meat, fish, poultry, and vegetables.

USE THE SAME TECHNIQUE AS THE PERFECT STEAK GRILLING GUIDE (PAGE 7).

INDIRECT CONVECTION COOKING
This method is ideal for cooking large cuts of meat such as roasts or poultry. The food is cooked by hot air circulating around it.

1. For most applications of convection cooking with and without a rotisserie, a drip pan is recommended to catch the drippings. Place the drip pan on top of the Flav-R-Wave, beneath the center of the food. Put half to one inch of water in the drip pan. Fruit juice, wine, or marinade may also be added to enhance the flavor. Do not let the drip pan run dry.
2. Convection cooking without a rotisserie is best with the lid closed and the heat reduced. All burners can be set to low or the outside burners can be set to medium and the middle burner(s) can be turned off. Turning the center burner off will prevent juices in the drip pan from burning.
3. Prior to placing the meat on the gas grill, baste the meat with vegetable oil. This will enhance browning on the outside of the meat.
4. When cooking without a drip pan, close attention must be paid to avoid the risk of a grease fire, and is not recommended.
5. Turn the gas grill off and allow it to cool before removing the drip pan. The fat drippings are highly flammable and must be handled carefully to avoid injury.
6. For convection cooking roasts and poultry without a rotisserie, put meat in a roasting rack directly on grids.

ROTISSERIE COOKING
Follow the steps for Indirect Convection Cooking. (See left)

1. The rotisserie can accommodate up to 7 kg (15lb) of meat with the limiting factor of rotating clearance. For best results, the meat should be centered on the center line of the spit to eliminate an out-of-balance condition.
2. The rotisserie can be used with the cooking grids in place if space allows.
3. Fasten the meat securely on the spit prior to placing it on the gas grill. For poultry, tie the wings and legs in tightly.

REAR BURNER ROTISSERIE

1. Certain models feature a rear burner for rotisserie cooking. The rear burner rotisserie method is the ultimate for cooking roasts and poultry. With the heat source located behind the food, there is no chance of a flare-up caused by fat drippings. A dish or drip pan placed below the spit will collect the juices for basting or for preparing a sauce.
2. The spring-loaded rear burner may be easily removed when not in use.
3. To operate your rear burner, see “Lighting the Rear Burner.” (Page 6)

FOR BEST RESULTS, USE A MEAT THERMOMETER

SPIT BALANCE

1. Loosen the rod handle to allow the balance to turn freely.

2. Set the rotisserie rod in the slots of the gas grill casting.
   Let the heaviest side of the meat rotate to the bottom.

3. Adjust the balance to the top of the rod, opposite the heaviest side of the meat.

4. Tighten the rod handle. Periodically, check to see if the meat turns smoothly while cooking. Adjust the balancer as necessary. CAUTION: Use an oven mitt when adjusting the balancer.

HOW TO USE A PROBE THERMOMETER

1. The accurate way to determine when a large piece of meat is done is to use a probe thermometer. Insert the thermometer at an angle so the sturdy pointed metal tip
   rests in the center of the thickest part of the meat.
   Be careful that it doesn’t touch the spit or the bone, and that the point is not resting in fat (you will notice much less resistance when probing in fat).
   

2. When the thermometer displays the desired temperature the meat is done. Add your sauces during the last few minutes of cooking time and let the meat stand for about 15 minutes to firm up. Carve and serve.
   • Poultry: insert the tip of the thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh close to the body.
   • Ham or roasts: insert the tip of the thermometer in the center of the heaviest section of the meat.

USING A SPIT–LEG OF LAMB

1. Have 3” of bone sawed from the small end of the leg.
2. Leave meat around the bone intact to form a flap.
3. Put a spit fork on the rod.
4. Fold the flap up and run the rod through the flap and leg.
5. Put the second fork on the rod and insert forks at each end of the leg. Test for balance. Tighten screws.

USING A SPIT – POULTRY

1. With the breast down, bring the neck skin up over the cavity.

2. Turn under the edges of the skin; skewer to back skin.

3. Loop twine around the skewer and tie.

4. Turn the breast side up; tie or skewer wings to the body.

5. Put a spit fork on the rod. Insert rod in neck skin parallel to backbone and exit just above the tail.

6. Put the second fork on the rod and insert forks in the breast and tail.
   Test for balance. Tighten screws.

7. Tie tail to the rod with twine. Cross legs; tie to tail.

THREE CHICKENS ON A SPIT

1. Tie or skewer wings to the body.
2. Put a spit fork on the rod. Place chickens on rods as demonstrated in the above diagram.
3. Loop twine around the tails and legs; tie to the rod.
4. Put the second fork on the rod and insert forks in the chicken.
   Tighten screws.

MAINTENANCE

REGULAR MAINTENANCE
To ensure optimal performance and safety, the following components should be inspected and cleaned as required before the use of your gas grill.
COOKING GRIDS – CAST IRON, CAST STAINLESS & HEAVY ROD STAINLESS
BROIL KING® Deep V cast iron and cast stainless cooking grids provide unsurpassed heat retention and grilling performance.
BROIL KING® Heavy Rod stainless grids provide maximum durability and good heat retention and good grilling performance.
BROIL KING® cast iron grids are coated with a porcelain enamel finish to protect the grids and reduce the tendency of food to stick to grids. Regular use and care improve the performance and longevity of the grids.

For optimum performance:

• Before first use and after long periods of storage, wash grids using a light detergent and water and then rinse and dry with a paper towel; never air dry grids or use a dishwasher

• Immediately after washing, season cooking grids by coating grids with organic cold-pressed cooking oil with a high smoke point, light the grill and operate on Med/Low for  30 minutes. Recommended cooking oils:
  o Avocado Oil – smoke point (260C/500F)
  o Rice Bran Oil – smoke point (255C/490F)
  o Canola Oil – smoke point (204C/400F)

• Before and after each use, brush grids with a good quality stainless steel bristle brush (Item #’s 65225, 64014, 64034) and lightly coat with a high smoke point cooking oil. This  will continue the seasoning process

• Use medium heat settings to preheat and grill to avoid burning off the protective seasoned coating

• Avoid applying sugar-based marinades or salt to meat before grilling, apply sugar-based marinades at end of grilling and salt after grilling

• Use oil-based marinades, avoid water-based marinades

• Lightly coat food with the cooking oil of your choice before grilling

• Turn and rotate your grids periodically

• Ensure the surface of the grid is always coated with a light layer of oil. This helps prevent rust and deterioration and improves the grids non-stick performance

• If rust does occur, Burn-Off the grid, brush with a stainless steel bristle brush and re-season

During long periods of inactivity, grids should be seasoned, then stored in a dry place. The grids may be wrapped in protective plastic food wrap. After periods of storage, Burn- Off grids, wash, dry with a paper towel, and re- season with high smoke point cooking oil.

Warning:
If the grill is hot, use caution and oven mitts while handling the stainless steel bristle brush. Inspect the grids carefully after brushing to ensure there are no broken bristles left on the grid.

GREASE TRAY
The grease tray is in the pull-out drawer located under the control panel. Clean regularly.

FLAV-R-WAVE™
The Flav-R-Wave™ is designed to generate smoke and vapor from the food drippings in order to provide that authentic barbecue flavor while protecting the burner. If residue accumulates on the Flav-RWave™, remove the cooking grids and scrape the residue off the Flav-R-Wave™ with the grid lifter.
(Part # 60745)

GENERAL CLEANING
Perform a Burn-Off (see below).
When the gas grill is cool, remove the grids, scrape the Flav-R-Wave™ clean with a grid lifter then remove the Flav-R-Wave™.
Clean the interior of the gas grill as necessary by scraping the sides and bottom of the cook box with the grid lifter and vacuum residue.
Rust is a natural oxidation process and may appear on internal stainless steel parts. Rust will not affect the performance of your grill.

BURN-OFF
Ignite the burners as per “Lighting” (page 15).
Operate the gas grill on HIGH with the lid closed for 10 minutes maximum.
Turn the gas source off then turn the control knobs to OFF.

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
The following components should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year or after any period of storage over 30 days to ensure optimal performance, safety, and efficiency.

BURNER
Remove the burner and inspect for cracks and deterioration. Clean venturi tubes using a pipe cleaner or venturi brush to eliminate any blockages. See “Venturi Tubes.” (Page 14)  While the burner is removed, remove the grease shields, and clean the interior of the cook box by scraping the sides and bottom of the cook box and vacuuming.

HOSE
Inspect and replace if necessary. For propane see “Hose and Regulator.” (Page 11)

EXTERIOR ALUMINUM COMPONENTS
If white oxidation spots appear, wash the outside of the aluminum cook box with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse the surfaces thoroughly then wipe them with a cloth dipped in cooking oil to restore the luster. For repair of paint scratches and scuffs, use a good quality HIGH temperature (600°F) spray paint for touch-ups.

STAINLESS STEEL & PORCELAIN COMPONENTS
Wash with soap and water. Use stainless steel cleaner or “Bar Keepers Friend” to polish and remove stains or rust marks if they occur. Weathering and extreme heat can cause a  stainless steel lid to turn a tan color. This is discoloration and is not considered a manufacturing defect.

RESIN COMPONENTS AND SIDE SHELVES
Wash with soap and water.

REPLACEMENT PARTS
If a problem is found with the regulator, hose, burner, or control valves, do not attempt repair. See your dealer, or approved service center, or contact the factory for repairs or replacement parts. To ensure optimum performance, use only original BROIL KING® replacement parts.

LEAK TEST
When reconnecting a gas cylinder on propane models, be sure to check for leaks. See “Leak Testing.” (Page 13)
