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
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.
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. F
IGURE 16.
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.
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
I f 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.
