Safety Practices to Avoid Per-
sonal Injury
When properly cared for your Broilmaster Infrared Grill will
give safe, reliable service for many years. However, ex-
treme care must be used since the grill produces intense
heat, which can increase accident potential. When using
this appliance, basic safety practices must be followed, in-
cluding the following:
Read this Installation Instructions and Owner's Manual
carefully and completely before using your grill to re-
duce the risk of fire, burn hazard or other injury.
Begin by ensuring proper assembly.
Do not repair or replace any part of the grill unless specifi-
cally recommended in this manual. All other service should
be referred to a qualified technician.
For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting gar-
ments or sleeves should never be worn while using this ap-
pliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and
should not be worn while cooking. Never let clothing, pot
holders or other flammable materials come in contact with
or too close to any grate, burner or hot surface until it has
cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
Use only dry pot holders: moist or damp pot holders on hot
surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel
or bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot holders
touch hot portions of the grilling grids.
Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earth-
enware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use.
Use of these types of materials may break with sudden tem-
perature changes.
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting
to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the bot-
tom of the grill. Clean often.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the grilling grids or grill bot-
tom. This can severely upset combustion airflow or trap ex-
cessive heat in the control area. The result of this can be
melted knobs, igniters and increased chance of personal
injury. The drip tray accessory may be lined with aluminum
foil.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area
where the grill is being used. Never allow them to sit, stand
or play on or around 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.
Do not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of pres-
sure may cause the container to burst.
Use a covered hand when opening the grill lid. Never lean
over an open grill.
When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what
you are doing. Be certain you are depressing the igniter
button. When using the grill: do not touch the grilling grids,
burner, warming rack or immediate surrounding area as
these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns.
For proper lighting and performance of the burners keep the
ports clean. The burners will only operate in one position
and must be mounted correctly for safe operation.
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.
Insect Warning - Spiders and insects can nest in the
burners of this and any other grill, and cause the gas to flow
from the front of the burner. This is a very dangerous condi-
tion, which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel,
thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate.
Inspect the grill at least twice per year.
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 cor-
rode. Do not operate the grill under unprotected combus-
tible construction. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not
use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways or any en-
closed areas.
Keep the area surrounding 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 unit 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 con-
sistently windy area (oceanfront, mountain top, etc) a wind-
break will be required. Always adhere to the specified clear-
ance.
Keep any electrical supply cord, or the optional rotisserie
motor cord away from the heated areas of the grill. Do not
use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products,
which promote flare-ups.
OUTDOOR USE ONLY
Your Broilmaster Infrared Grill is designed for outdoor
use only and must not be installed in or on recreational
vehicles and/or boats.
NEVER USE A DENTED OR RUSTY PROPANE TANK.
SHUT OFF TANK WHEN NOT IN USE.
