each part by its key number on the Parts List if you need help in
identifying a part.

GRILL ASSEMBLY
Installing Racks
Place the briquet rack (8) or flavor screen rack (28) on the burner assembly.
Position the flavor screen (29) on to flavor screen rack (28) or the ceramic briquets (7) evenly on the briquette rack without overlapping.
For Smoker Shutter installation see DPA100 manual included with your P3S grill.
Set the multilevel cooking grids. See Figure 9.
Installing Char-Master Briquets
Individually place the Char-Master’ briquets in a single layer evenly on your grill’s briquet rack; DO NOT dump them onto the briquet rack. A single layer ofChar-Master’ briquets is all that’s needed. DO NOT overlap or stack the briquets. See Figure 9.
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 postheating) of a grill will clean theChar-Master’ briquets. Periodically turn the briquets over while they are cool.

OPERATION – PROPANE & NATURAL GAS GRILLS

Checking for Gas Leaks
Check for gas leaks every time you connect your 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 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.
To check for gas leaks:
1. Use dish washing liquid and a little water to make a soapy solution.
2. Turn OFF the knob 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
The venturi air shutter(s) are 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:
1. Turn gas OFF and let the burner cool. 2. Loosen shutter set screw 3. Close the air shutter to the minimum opening. See Figure 5. 4. Light the burner, wait five minutes and then carefully open the
air shutter until the flame is blue and well defined. 5. Retighten the set screw.

OPERATION

Before Cooking

Electrical Accessories

Before cooking on a grill for the first time, it should be broken in to burn off any oil residue from the manufacturing process.
1. Raise the grill lid. 2. Light grill burner. 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

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 three-prong receptacle or wall outlet. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the plug.

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

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.

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.

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 flare up that could burn your face and arms. Wait until the grill has cooled before opening.
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.

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 venturi tubes as follows:
1. Remove the cooking grids and briquette rack.
2. Remove the burner from the grill.
3. Lay the burner face down and remove the four retaining screws from the venturi tube plate and the burner. See Figure 17.
4. Use a small flexible brush to remove any debris for the tube(s).
5. Flush with water.
6. Allow the tube(s) to dry before reinstalling.
7. Reinstall the venturi tubes and burner.

3. Wipe COOL grill with a damp cloth to remove soot.

Grill Bottom
Periodically remove cooking grids and flare guard 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.
Grease Tray
Empty periodically. Replacement tray liners can be purchased at most supermarkets where disposable aluminum baking pans are displayed.

Figure 17
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.
