Parts may have sharp edges. Wear leather work gloves and handle parts
carefully during the unpacking, assembly and installation.
Recommended Tools
These items are recommended for the assembly of your grill:
- Phillips screwdriver
- Adjustable wrench set
- Socket set
- Soapy water solution (to test for leaks)
- Liquid soap (for foam grip)
Grill Mountings
Assemble your base option before assembling your Broilmaster grill head.
Refer to the Broilmaster Cart, Base, and Post instructions provided with each
accessory for assembly, installation, and mounting procedures.
-
Mount grill onto cart, post or base per the mounting instructions.
-

briquets. See Figure 12.
After properly placing the ‘Char-Master’ briquets on your grill’s briquet
rack, there may be some briquets left over.
Save them for future use.
Before cooking, always preheat the grill as directed by the grill’s operating
instructions. Hot briquets cause better, quicker cooking and better flavor.
Cleaning
Routine preheating and routine burn-off (also called post heating) of a grill
will clean the ‘Char-Master’ briquets. Periodically turn the briquets over
while they are cool. Lid Stop
Attach the lid stop assembly to the grill bottom as shown.

OPERATION
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.
- Raise the grill lid.
- Light grill burners.
- Burn on HI for ten minutes.
- Close the lid and burn on HI for an additional ten minutes.
- 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.
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 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 threeprong
(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
Caution: To prevent injury, use care when cleaning 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. This can damage the porcelain
coating and void the warranty on the cooking 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 flare up that
could burn your face and arms. Wait until the grill has cooled before opening.
- 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.
- Turn gas knob and supply to OFF and allow the grill to cool.
- 0Wipe COOL grill with a damp cloth to remove soot.
Grill Bottom
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.
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 21. See the
troubleshooting section if the flames are yellow or lift off the burner.
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.
Grease Tray
Empty periodically. Replacement tray liners can be purchased at most
supermarkets where disposable aluminum baking pans are displayed.
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.
Clean burner (venturi) tubes as follows:
- Remove the cooking grids and briquette rack or flavor screen.
- Remove the burner from the grill.
- Use a small flexible brush to remove any debris from the burner (venturi) tube.
- Flush with water.
- Allow the burner (venturi ) tube to dry before reinstalling.
- Reinstall the burner, briquet rack and briquets or flavor screen, and cooking grids.
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.
Char-Master 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.
