PROPANE GAS GRILLS

Grill Location
This grill is designed for outdoor use only.
Never operate your grill in any building, garage, or other enclosed area. Never operate your grill in a recreational vehicle or boat. Never operate your grill under any combustible materials, such as carports, covered porches, awnings, or overhangs.
CAUTION
Keep the sides of the grill at least 16 inches from any combustible material. Keep the back of the grill at least  18 inches from any combustible material. Placing a hot grill too close to a building or other combustible material may lead to fire, property damage, or personal injury. Combustible materials include fences, patio furniture, and your home.
Keep the area around the grill clear to ensure proper ventilation.
The ventilation openings on the propane cylinder enclosure must also remain free and clear of debris.
Before lighting the grill, position it on a level surface away from direct wind.
Never move a hot grill.
WARNING
Do not install or operate this grill where gasoline or other  flammable materials are used or stored. Failure to comply with this warning could result in explosion or fire causing property damage or personal injury.
Propane Cylinder Safety
Propane vapor fuels your grill. Propane is a liquid only when it is highly compressed. Keeping it compressed requires a heavyduty tank – the LP cylinder.
Inside a full cylinder, the liquid propane makes up the bottom 80 percent; while propane vapor makes up the top 20 percent.
As you draw this vapor from the top of the tank, the liquid below expands and turns to vapor. Once all of the liquid turns to vapor, pressure inside the cylinder drops and gas flow stops.
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.
Use extreme caution when handling propane gas cylinders. Keep the cylinder upright while carrying.
While transporting in a vehicle, keep the cylinder upright and secured to prevent movement. Never place a propane gas cylinder in the passenger area of a vehicle.
Replace any cylinder that has been dropped, dented, has a malfunctioning valve, or is visibly damaged. Never attempt to use or repair a damaged propane gas cylinder.
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 percent (80%) of its weight limit.
If the cylinder is not completely empty, the gas dealer must make  adjustments to ensure it is  not overfilled. Never  use an  overfilled Propane gas cylinder.
When you finish grilling, turn off the grill’s burners and turn off the gas at the cylinder. If the grill will not be used for an extend period, remove the cylinder from the grill for storage.
Cylinder Storage
Store your grill outdoors in a well-ventilated area when the LP cylinder is attached to it.
Store Propane cylinders in a secured upright position.
Keep children away from LP cylinders.
Store cylinders out of direct sunlight and well away from heat sources. Do not store cylinders in a building, garage, or other enclosed area.
Disconnected cylinders must have a threaded valve plug tightly installed.
Do not store flammable materials near LP cylinders – including gasoline, paper, grill covers, etc.
PROPANE GAS GRILLS
Propane Cylinder Requirements

6. If you see 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.
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.

Heat Indicator Recalibration
The heat indicator can be recalibrated if needed. Remove the heat indicator from the grill and place the probe end in a pot of boiling water. Set the heat indicator by turning the screw in the end of the stem until it reads 212 degrees. The indicator is now set.

OPERATION – PROPANE AND NATURAL GAS GRILLS
Before Cooking
Before cooking on a grill for the first time, burn off any oil residue from the manufacturing process.

1. Open 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. 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.
   Preheating uses very little fuel, provides better flavor, and provides more consistent cooking times.

Electrical Accessories
Any electrical accessory (e.g. rotisserie) used 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.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
Buy a good grill brush. Inexpensive grill brushes tend to lose their metal bristles, which can stick to your cooking grids and become embedded in foods.
A grill builds up a patina of smoke residue. This “seasoning” is normal and actually enhances the flavor of your foods. If the build-up grows too thick, it can flake off and fall onto your food.
To remove excess build-up, let the grill cool completely and then brush thoroughly with a high-quality grill brush.
Note: Do not use a commercial cleaner on the cooking grid.
For baked-on residue use a grill brush on the cooking grid and other components.
Grids and Drip Pan
The grids are made of high quality stainless steel and should be cleaned with a brass or stainless steel brush while the grill is still warm.
The drip pan is made of high quality stainless steel as well and can be cleaned with a scraping tool. The pan must be kept clean of heavy build-up for the grill to perform properly and to reduce flare-ups. Clean as needed or approximately every 10 uses.
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.
3. Wipe COOL grill with a damp cloth to remove soot.

Grill Bottom
Once or twice a year remove cooking grids and drip pan to clean the interior of the grill. Scrape off baked on residue with a putty knife or brass brush and rinse with water.
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 brush. Wash with water and a mild detergent.
Grease Cup
Empty periodically.
Drain Pipe and Valve Keep Drain pipe and valve must be kept clear of grease and food particles to allow the grease to drain properly. To clear the drain pipe and valve, run a flexible drain brush through them. (See DPA22)
Bucket
Store the bucket under the grill lid when the grill is not in use. Empty the drip bucket after each use.
Heat Indicator
Clean any build-up from indicator probe once a season to prevent loss of accuracy.
Venturi Tubes
The venturi tubes allow air and gas to mix prior to burning, ensuring an efficient flame. Spiders or other small insects may build webs or nests inside the tubes obstructing air flow. This can cause a fire, or flashback, around the obstructed venturi tubes and may damage to components beneath the grill or an unsafe condition. To reduce risk, inspect and clean the venturi tubes at least twice per year and more often if spiders are active. If the grill has been unused for an extended period of time inspect the tubes before using the grill.
Cleaning Venturi Tubes

1. Remove the cooking grids and drain pan.

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 Below.

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. Reattach the venturi, collector box, and bracket in the reverse order removed.

8. Reinstall burner, drip pan, and cooking grids.

Exterior Cleaning
Turn off the grill and allow it to cool before cleaning. Never use aerosol sprays or flammable cleaners on or near a hot grill.
Do note use abrasive pads or cleansers on stainless or painted components.
Clean the grill exterior regularly with a solution of mild detergent and hot water.
Touch-up paint is available from your dealer.
To protect your grill from the elements, use a Broilmaster protective cover Clean stainless steel components with a stainless steel cleaner available in most hardware stores.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Although we have attempted to ensure that your grill will operate properly and satisfactorily, sometimes problems do arise. The following troubleshooting guide lists several possible problems and their probable cause and solution.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING
Spiders and insects can nest in gas grill burners causing the gas to flow from the front of the burner and ignite under the control panel. This is very dangerous and can damage the grill, making it unsafe to operate. Inspect the grill at least twice per year and more often if spiders are active.
Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the grill. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode. Do not operate the grill under unprotected combustible construction. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways or any enclosed areas.
Keep the area around the grill free from combustible materials, trash, or combustible fluids and vapors such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Keep the back of the cart free and clear from debris.
If the grill is stored indoors ensure that it is cool. If propane is used, the cylinder must be unhooked and the propane cylinder stored outside in a well- ventilated area, out of reach of children.
Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront, mountain top, etc.) a windbreak will be required.
Always adhere to the specified clearance.
Keep electrical cords always from the heated areas of the grill.
Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products, which promote flare-ups.
Keep Children Away from the Grill at All Times Never leave children unattended near the grill. Teach them to stay away even when you are not cooking, as the grill can remain hot after it is turned off.
Never allow children near the grill at any time. Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill or in the cart.
Never allow children to crawl inside of a cart or island enclosure.
Practice Safe Grilling
Do not wear loose fitting clothing or readily flammable clothing (such as synthetics) around the grill.
Never let clothing, pot holders, or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to any grate, burner or hot surface. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
Use only dry pot holders. Using a damp pot holder on a hot surface may cause burns from steam.
Do not use towels or bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot holders touch hot cooking grids. Never use a sponge on a hot surface, as it may cause steam burns. Protect your hand with an oven mitt or pot holder when opening the grill lid. Never lean over an open grill.
Use heat-proof cookware and tools specifically designed for grilling. Other types of material may shatter with sudden temperature changes or melt from extreme heat. Use tools with insulated handles and keep them away from the grill to avoid heat build-up.
Do not spray aerosol oil or butter or pour liquid oil into the grill. Doing so will cause a flash fire that can burn you.
Grease is flammable. Let grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the bottom of the grill. Clean your grill often.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the cooking grids or grill bottom. This can disrupt combustion air flow or trap excess heat in the control area. Excess heat can melt knobs or ignitors, and increase the chance of personal injury. The drip tray accessory may be lined with aluminum foil.
Do not heat unopened food containers – such as cans, jars, and sealed pans. Pressure build-up may cause the container to burst.
When lighting a grill, always open the lid first and pay close attention to what you are doing. Turn one burner knob to HI, press the ignitor button and count to five.
For proper lighting and performance of the burners keep the ports clean.
Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.
Cook Food To Proper Temperatures
COOKING TIPS
Cooking food safely requires that you raise the internal temperature of the meat high enough and for a long enough period of time to kill any food-borne bacteria that may cause illnesses.
Color is not the best indicator that food is safe to eat. Use a high-quality probe thermometer to be sure your food is properly cooked. Place the tip of an instant-read thermometer into the center of the thickest part of the food but at least 1/2 inch deep. Read the temperature after about 10 seconds. Follow the temperature guidelines for the type of food you’re cooking.
The following guidelines are from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.
Cook to Internal Temp

Seafood
Fish| Cook until flesh turns opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Shrimp, lobster, crab| Cook until shells turn red and flesh becomes pearly opaque.
Scallops| Should turn milky white or opaque and firm.
Clams, mussels, oysters| Cook until shells open.

The Qrave Grill is an indirect gas grill. This means that the flame never comes in contact with the food and does not flare up. The drip pan vaporizes all the drippings into smoke and moisture. This produces tastier and juicier foods.
You will be amazed at how easy it is to cook all your favorites and more; perfect every time.
The following instructions are to be used as a guideline. You may need to adjust the cooking times and temperatures to suite your own taste.
When cooking on the Qrave Grill, it is essential that the lid remain closed. This not only keeps the temperature constant, but holds in the moisture as well. The drip pan drain valve should be open when grilling. This allows the excess grease to continuously drain into the catch bucket. The only time the drain valve should be closed is when cooking with a liquid in the pan.

Quick Temperature Reference

Valve Knob Setting| Approximate Temperatures| Types of Cooking
One Valve Knob Low| 220°F to 250°F| Slow Cooking & Smoking
Both Valve Knob Low| 320°F to 350°F| Roasting & Baking
Both Valve Knob Medium| 375°F to 425°F| Roasting & Baking
Both Valve Knob High| 450°F to 550°F| Grilling & Steaming

*The above temperature settings are a guide, the temperatures may vary due to wind and outside ambient temperatures.
COOKING TIPS
Grilling

1. Place the cooking grids in the low position.
2. Preheat your grill with both valve knobs set to High for 15 minutes.
3. No liquids in drip pan. We recommend that when grilling, the valve knobs should remain on high.
   This cooking method is great for hamburgers, steaks, chops, etc.

Roasting
When roasting it is important to remember that it is just like cooking in your oven. Hint: You may want to fill the drip pan with water or a marinade to create more flavor and moisture.

1. Close the drip pan drain valve and fill the pan about half full with water or marinade.
2. Set the cooking grids at the low position.
3. Preheat the grill with both controls on High for 15 minutes.
4. Set the valve knobs to the desired temperature using the Quick Temperature Reference Chart.

While cooking, monitor the heat indicator on the grill and adjust temperature as necessary.
More water or marinade may need to be added to the pan as it evaporates during cooking.
Roasted chicken, turkey or pork roasts will never taste better.
Baking
Before starting, make sure the drip tray is clean.

1. Place the cooking grids at the high position to remove the food away from the direct heat.
2. Preheat your grill with both valve knobs set to High for 15 minutes.
3. Set the valve knobs to the desired temperature using the Quick Temperature Reference Chart.

Use the heat indicator on the grill to more accurately adjust the temperature. Even cookies, pizza and desserts can be made on the Qrave Grill.
Steaming

Before starting, make sure the drip tray is clean.

1. Set the cooking grids at the low position.
2. Close the drip pan drain valve and fill pan with water. Be careful not to over-fill the pan.
3. Preheat your grill with both valve knobs set to High for 15 minutes.
4. The valve knobs will remain on high for steaming. Cook until desired taste. More liquid may need to be added to the pan as it evaporates during cooking.

Vegetables and seafood taste great when steamed in the Qrave Grill.
Smoking
The Qrave Grill is equipped with a front load smoker box.

1. 6Soak your flavor smoking chips in water for about 15 minutes.
   This will make the chips burn slower and create more flavor.

2. Remove the smoker box and fill with the soaked chips and then replace.

3. Set the cooking grids at the low position.

4. Preheat your grill with both valve knobs set to High for 15 minutes or until you detect smoke.

5. Place the food on the grill and adjust the temperature as desired.

Note: The left knob controls the amount of heat under the smoker box. The smoker box is designed to be used on low for best results.
This works great for adding smoke flavor when grilling and roasting.
Slow Cooking with Smoking
The Qrave Grill has dual controls for more control for those low temperatures needed for slow cooking.

1. Adjust the cooking grids to the high position.
2. Close the drain valve and add water or marinade to the drip pan. It is recommended to slow cook with a liquid in the pan to keep the food from drying out. More liquid may need to be added to the pan as it evaporates during cooking.
3. Preheat your grill with both valve knobs set to High for 15 minutes.
4.  Turn off the right valve knob and turn the left valve knob to low. Hint: The left valve knob controls the heat on the smoker box. Add water-soaked flavor chips to the smoker tray as needed. Most chips will last about an hour before needing to be replaced.

Turn the food once an hour when slow cooking. Slow cooking with a Qrave Grill could mean the best ribs or brisket your family has ever tasted.
CAUTION
Always use an oven mitt when removing smoker box while grill is hot. Make sure chips are cooled before emptying smoker box.
