Propane Cylinder Safety

Liquid Propane (LP) gas has a long history of safe use when the safety precautions provided in this manual are followed.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN A FIRE OR EXPLOSION CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
Propane gas cylinders should always be handled, stored, and transported with extreme caution in a secured 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.
A propane 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.
When refilling your cylinder, always insist on a reputable, 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 empty, the gas dealer must make necessary adjustments to ensure it is not overfilled. Never use an overfilled Propane gas cylinder.

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.
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.

Connection Requirements

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.
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 by 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 regulations and recommended procedures.
WARNING: BROILMASTER® PREMIUM GAS GRILLS REQUIRE LIQUID PROPANE (LP) CYLINDERS EQUIPPED WITH AN OVERFILL PROTECTION DEVICE (OPD). AN OVERFILLED OR IMPROPERLY FILLED PROPANE
CYLINDER CAN BE DANGEROUS.
Always use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with your Propane gas grill.
Note: Not all valve and cylinder combinations are compatible. Check the warning tag on the valve and cylinder as well as the external fitting threads.
All Broilmaster® pressure regulators and hose assemblies require Propane cylinders with a Type 1 connection device as illustrated. FIGURE 19.

Pressure Regulator and Hose Assembly

The pressure regulator has an outlet pressure of not more than eleven (11”) inches of 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 otherwise specified by the manufacturer.

Connecting to Propane Gas

Position the cylinder in the opening at the bottom of the cart and secure it with the cylinder retaining bracket. FIGURE 20.
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. FIGURE 21.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE A WRENCH OR ANY OTHER TOOL TO TIGHTEN. THE USE OF A WRENCH OR OTHER TOOL WILL DAMAGE THE PLASTIC HANDWHEEL.
To disconnect the Propane gas cylinder, turn OFF the cylinder’s valve and the grill’s control valve. Remove the regulator by turning the plastic handwheel counterclockwise.

GAS CONVERSION

Propane grills include a conversion kit for natural gas.
If you have a natural grill and wish to convert it to propane you will need to purchase the optional conversion kit #CK195.
Begin by removing all the components from the inside of your grill.
Locate and remove the orifice hoods mounted on the underside of the grill body. FIGURE 20.
Before installing the natural hoods, inspect them for damage and note the number stamped on the side.
The correct hood will be marked “48”.
The hoods are self-sealing, requiring no additional pipe sealant. If you wish to use sealant, take care to add it to the threads only to avoid blocking the orifice.
Thread the hoods onto the supply tubes leaving about a 1/8″ gap between the hood and the locking nut. FIGURE 21.
Remove the hose and regulator from the valve.
Replace the components inside your grill.
Remove the knobs from the valve assembly and locate the adjustment screws on the inside of the valve stem.
Using a small screwdriver, turn the screws four (4) turns counterclockwise. Do not back the screws out more than 4° turns or a leak may result. FIGURE 22.
Connect the grill to the natural gas supply.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE LIGHTING YOUR GRILL, CHECK THE GAS CONNECTIONS AND THE ADJUSTMENT SCREWS FOR LEAKS USING A SOAPY WATER SOLUTION.
CAUTION: NEVER USE THIS OR ANY GAS APPLIANCE THAT MAY BE LEAKING GAS.
Replace the knobs.
Place the completed conversion label adjacent to the product identification label, located on the control panel (26).

CAUTION: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME WHEN CHECKING FOR LEAKS. CHECKING FOR LEAKS WITH AN OPEN FLAMEMAY LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION, RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.

To check for gas leaks:

Use dishwashing liquid and a little water to make a soapy solution.
Turn OFF the knob on the control panel.
Turn ON the gas at the supply or cylinder. A hissing sound indicates a leak. Turn OFF the gas and repair the leak.
Apply the soapy water solution to all gas connections.
Look for bubbles. Bubbles indicate a leak.
If there are bubbles turn OFF the gas and repair the leak.
Turn the gas back ON and repeat the above procedures until all leaks are repaired.

Air Shutter Adjustment

The venturi air shutter(s) 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 venturi air shutter as follows:

Turn the gas OFF and let the burner cool.
Loosen shutter set screw
Close the air shutter to the minimum opening. Refer to Figure 11.
Light the burner, wait five minutes, and then carefully open the air shutter until the flame is blue and well-defined.
Retighten the set screw.

Operating Instructions Using the Igniter

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.

Turn the knob on the grill CLOCKWISE to the OFF position.
Turn ON the gas at the source.
With the grill lid open, push and turn the burner control knob COUNTERCLOCKWISE to Hi.
Push and hold the igniter button until the burner lights (approximately 5 seconds).
If a burner does not light, turn OFF all gas and refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual.

Operating Instructions Using Matches
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.

Turn the knob on the grill CLOCKWISE to the OFF position.
Turn ON the gas at the source.
Open the grill lid.
Insert a burning long wooden match through the lighter hole on either side of the grill.
Turn the burner control knob COUNTERCLOCKWISE to HI.
If a burner does not light, turn OFF all gas and refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual. FIGURE 23.

Before Cooking

Before cooking on a grill for the first time, it should be broken in to burn off any oil residue from the manufacturing process.

Raise the grill lid.
Light grill burner.
Burn on HI for ten minutes.
Close the lid and burn on HI for an additional ten minutes.
Turn OFF the 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 hot briquette cooks quicker and provides better flavor.

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.

Electrical Accessories

If an electrical accessory (e.g. rotisserie) is used on your grill, the accessory must be electrically grounded per local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
In Canada, the electrical accessory must be electrically grounded per 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 it 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

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

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 TO FLARE UP THAT COULD BURN YOUR FACE AND ARMS. WAIT UNTIL THE GRILL HAS COOLED BEFORE OPENING.

Turn the gas knob to HI. Close the 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.
Turn the gas knob and supply to OFF and allow the grill to cool.
Wipe the COOL grill with a damp cloth to remove soot.

Grill Bottom

Periodically remove cooking grids and flare guards 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 affect 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.

Grease Tray

Empty periodically. Replacement tray liners can be purchased at most supermarkets where disposable aluminum baking pans are displayed.

Venturi Tubes

The venturi tubes allow air and gas to mix before burning, thus ensuring an efficient flame.
Spiders or other small insects may build webs or nests inside the tubes obstructing airflow.
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 inspect the tubes before using the grill.

Clean venturi tubes as follows:

Remove the cooking grids and briquette rack.
Remove the burner from the grill.
Lay the burner face down and remove the four retaining screws from the venturi tube plate and the burner. FIGURE 24.
Use a small flexible brush to remove any debris from the tube(s).
Flush with water.
Allow the tube(s) to dry before reinstalling.
Reinstall the venturi tubes and burner.

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.
Stainless steel components can be easily cleaned with a spray-on stainless steel cleaner found in most hardware stores.

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.
