Checking for Gas Leaks
Check for gas leaks every time you connect your Broilmaster
propane gas grill to a Propane gas cylinder, when a con-
nected cylinder has not been used recently, or when either
a natural or propane grill is being used for the rst time.
Caution: Do not use an open ame when checking for
leaks. Checking for leaks with an open ame may lead
to a re 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 ve minutes the burner ames are blue with well dened
cones. If, after ve minutes the ame is yellow, or there is
a gap between the burner and the ame, 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 ve minutes and then carefully open
the air shutter until the ame is blue and well dened.
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 nut on
the back until it reads 212 degrees. The indicator is now set.
