ROTISSERIE INSTALLATION for SBG2501-1 & SBG2801-1
Using the Ignitor
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.
1. Turn the control knob clockwise
to the OFF posi-
tion.
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.
Attention: When igniting the rotisserie burner, hold rotisserie control knob in for 30 seconds in order to energize the thermocouple.
5. If rotisserie burner does not ignite, turn rotisserie control knob
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.
The Rotisserie Motor is rated to turn a maximum load of 12 pounds.
Warnings:
Never use the Rotisserie Motor in the rain, and never use it if it has become wet.
Always use a grounded three-prong outlet and a three-prong extension cord to energize the Rotisserie Motor.
Never alter or remove the grounding prong on the Rotisserie Power Cord, as an electric shock hazard would then result.
Never permit an electrical supply cord or gas supply line to contact any heated surface of this grill.
WARNING The Rotisserie Motor must be electrically grounded in accordance with
local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Keep the Rotisserie Motor electric cord away from the
heated surface of the grill. Do not operate the Rotisserie with a damaged cord
or plug, or if the Rotisserie malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
Call the Customer Service for replacement. The power supply cord has a 3-prong
grounded plug. For your personal safety do not remove the grounding prong. It
must be plugged into a mating 3-prong grounding type receptacle, grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical Codes and local codes and ordinances.
If an extension cord is used, it must be properly grounded and suitable for
use with Outdoor Appliances. Keep the extension cord connection dry, off of
the ground and out of the reach of children. When the Rotisserie Motor is not
in use, remove and store in a dry area.
Page 12
Rotisserie Use Warning: Do not operate the side burner option simultaneously
with the rotisserie. The side burner will melt the rotisserie handle. 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. 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. Be certain that the rotisserie brackets and
motor are secured in place, then light the burner and close the grill lid for
preheating. After preheating, place the loaded spit rod into position. Start
the rotisserie motor and make certain the food is properly balanced. Close the
grill lid. 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. ROTISSERIE COUNTERBALANCE

Propane Cylinder Safety
Liquid Propane (LP 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 completely
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

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.

OPERATION
Checking for Gas Leaks
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: 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.
To check for gas leaks: 1. Use dish washing liquid and a little water to make
a soapy
solution. 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.
Air Shutter Adjustment
1. Remove cooking grids and flame tamers from grill. 2. Ignite burners on
grill and observe flame pattern. If flame is
yellow in color or flame is lifting off burner the air shutter on burner will
require adjustment. 3. Turn gas OFF and allow the grill to cool. 4. Loosen two
(2) Phillips screws at end of each burner. Lift upward and pivot burner out of
grill. 5. Loosen Phillips screw at air shutter. Open air shutter for a yellow
flame or close air shutter for a lifting flame. Tighten Phillips screw at air
shutter. 6. Replace burners into grill. Tighten two (2) Phillips screws at end
of each burner. 7. Ignite burners on grill to verify burner flame
characteristics.

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/NFPA 70. 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 threeprong 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 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. Do not scrape grids.
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.
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.
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.
3. Wipe COOL grill with a damp cloth to remove soot.
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
misaligned. See Figure 20.
Grease Tray Empty periodically.
Exterior Clean regularly with a solution of mild detergent and hot water.
Superb by Broilmaster® protective covers are recommended. Stainless steel
components can be easily cleaned with a spray-on stainless steel cleaner found
in most hardware stores.
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.
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). 2. Use a small flexible brush to remove any
debris from the
venturi tubes (interior of burners). 3. Replace rotisserie burner back cover.
