BREAKING IN YOUR GRILL:
•
In manufacturing and preserving the components of your grill, oil residue may be present on the burner
and cooking surfaces of your grill.
•
Before cooking on your grill for the first time you should preheat it for 15 minutes on "HIGH" to burn off
these residual oils.
PREHEATING THE GRILL:
•
Prior to use, it is recommended that you preheat your grill. This ensures that the grilling surfaces are at
the desired temperatures to sear the food sugars when cooking. After lighting your grill, set the main
burner control knobs to the "HIGH" position for 10 to 15 minutes. Close the cover during the preheat
period.
CONTROLLING FLARE-UPS:
•
Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a gas grill. This adds to the unique flavor of cooking on a gas
grill. Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and cause a dangerous situation for you and your grill.
Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill. If this should occur, DO
NOT pour water onto the flames. This can cause the grease to splatter and could result in serious burns
or bodily harm. If grease fire occurs close the lid and turn off the main burners until the grease burns out.
Use caution when opening the lid as sudden flare-ups may occur.
WARNING
•
•
•
•
DO NOT leave your grill unattended while in use.
DO NOT move grill when in use. Lock wheels in place to stabilize grill.
DO NOT use water to extinguish flare-ups.
Have fire extinguisher readily accessible suitable for use with gas appliances.
TO MINIMIZE FLARE-UPS:
•
•
•
Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.
Cook meats with high fat contents (chicken or pork) on Low settings or indirectly.
Ensure that your grill is on level ground and the grease is allowed to evacuate the grill through the drain
hole in the bottom and into grease cup.
INDIRECT COOKING:
•
Indirect cooking is the process of cooking your food without the heat source being directly under your
food. You can sear meats over a high flame on one side of the grill while slow cooking a roast on the
other (unlit) side of the grill.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
•
Keep the appliance free and clear of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
•
•
Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear of debris.
Visually check burner flames for proper operation (see pictorial in "Burner Assembly/Maintenance" under
Proper Care and Maintenance). Spiders or other insects can nest in the burner causing gas blockage.
•
•
For safe grilling and peak performance of your grill, perform these checks at least twice per year or after
extended periods of storage.
Be sure to tighten up all hardware (nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) at least twice per year.
CAUTION! Some parts may contain sharp edges. Wear protective gloves if necessary.
•
Remove the cooking grills, heat distribution plates, and burners from inside your grill. Use a brush with hot
water and detergent to remove excess residue. NEVER use a commercial oven cleaner. Rinse completely
with water. Towel dry and replace all components as described in the assembly instructions.
BURNER ASSEMBLY/MAINTENANCE
•
Although your burners are constructed of cast-iron, they may corrode as a result of the extreme heat and
acids from cooking foods. Regularly inspect the burners for cracks, abnormal holes, and other signs of
corrosion damage. If found, replace the burner.
•
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Burner tubes can become blocked by
spiders and other insects building their nests. Blocked burner tubes can prevent gas flow to the burners
and could result in a burner tube fire or fire beneath the grill. To clean the Burner Assembly follow these
instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting the grill.
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder tank valve.
2. Remove cooking grills and heat distribution plates.
3. Remove cotter pins from beneath each burner “foot” using a
screwdriver or needle nose pliers.
4. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
Debris
5. Use a narrow bottle brush or a stiff wire bent into a small hook to
run through each burner tube and flame port several times.
Valve Nozzle
Note: Wear eye protection when performing procedure 6.
6. Use compressed air to blow into burner tube and out the
flame ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out
each hole.
7. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food
residue and dirt.
Burner Orifice
8. Check burner for damage, if any large cracks or holes are found
replace burner.
IMPORTANT: Burner opening must slide over valve nozzle.
9. Carefully replace burners.
10. Replace cotter pins beneath each burner and follow the
"Gas Leak Testing" section of this manual. Relight burners
to verify proper operation.
PROPER BURNER OPERATION

COOKING GRILLS
•
Clean with mild soap detergent and water. A brass bristled brush or a nylon cleaning pad can be used
to remove residue from the stainless steel surfaces. Do not use steel wire bristles to clean the cooking
grills. Steel can cause the finish to chip or crack. DO NOT use a commercial oven cleaner.
HEAT DISTRIBUTION PLATES
•
Periodically, it may be necessary to inspect and clean the heat distribution plate to prevent excess
grease build-up. When the grill is cold, remove the cooking grill. Inspect the heat distribution plates
and replace if broken or damaged. Do not allow heat distribution plates to become damaged to the
extent that they may fall through onto the burners. Replace the heat distribution plates and cooking
grills and light the burners. Operate the grill on "HIGH" for 10 minutes to remove the excess grease.
WARNING
TRANSPORTING AND STORAGE:
•
•
Never move a grill when it is hot or when objects are on the cooking surfaces.
Make sure that cylinder valve is shut off. After moving the grill check that all gas connections
are free of leaks. Refer to instructions for Leak Testing.
•
•
•
•
DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder (filled or empty) under or near the grill.
Never store flammable liquids or spray canisters under or near the grill.
DO NOT extinguish grease fires using water.
If the outdoor cooking gas appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply
cylinder.
•
•
•
Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is
disconnected and removed from the outdoor cooking gas appliance.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of reach of children and must not be stored in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area.
When removing the grill from storage, spider webs or other debris may be blocking the burner.
See "Burner Assembly/Maintenance" under Proper Care and Maintenance.
BEFORE STORING YOUR GRILL:
•
•
•
•
•
Ensure that the cylinder valve is fully closed.
Clean all surfaces.
Lightly coat the burners with cooking oil to prevent excess rusting.
If storing the grill indoors, disconnect the LP tank and leave the LP tank OUTDOORS.
Place a protective cap cover on the LP tank and store the tank outdoors in a well ventilated area out
of direct sunlight.
•
•
Clean burner prior to use after storing, at the beginning of grilling season or after a period of one
month not being used. Spiders and insects like to build nests in burner tubes (especially during colder
months). These nests can cause fires in burner tubes or under grill.
If storing the grill outdoors, cover the grill with a grill cover for protection from the weather. A grill cover
may be ordered directly from Brinkmann by calling 800-468-5252 or 800-527-0717.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your grill's serial number and model number, and the contact information for Brinkmann Customer Service, are listed
on a silver label found on the back of the grill or on the grill body side, under the side shelf.
These questions and answers are for your general knowledge, and may not be applicable to your model grill.
Question: Why does my grill not light properly?
Answer: Always follow lighting instructions as listed on the control panel or in this manual. Also check these
causes:
•
•
•
•
Check LP gas supply.
Check to ensure all gas connections are secure.
The igniter AA battery may need replacing.
Ignition wires may be loose. Remove the battery, inspect the igniter junction box found behind the control
panel and connect any loose wires.
•
Spark electrode tips may need repositioning. With the gas supply closed and control knob set to the "OFF"
position, press the igniter button and have another person watch for the presence of a spark at the electrode
tips. The gap between the spark electrode tip and spark receiver should be about 3/16". If the electrode tip
needs to be adjusted, bend it to the appropriate gap distance.
•
•
Check that the end of each burner venturi tube is properly located over its gas valve orifice fitting.
There may be an obstruction in the gas line. To correct this, remove LP gas hose / regulator or natural gas
fuel line from your grill. Open gas supply for one second to test for obstruction. If no obstruction is present,
reconnect fuel line. If the fuel line is blocked, replace with a new hose / regulator assembly.
•
If an obstruction is suspected in the hose / regulator assembly, orifice or gas valves call Brinkmann Customer
Service at 800-527-0717.
Question: Why does my LP gas grill have a low flame or a flame with orange / yellow color?
Answer: You need to purge air from the gas line or reset the regulator's flow limiting device. Opening the cylinder
valve all the way or too quickly triggers the regulator’s flow limiting device to shut down the gas flow, which
prevents excessive gas flow to your grill. Note: This procedure should be done every time a new LP gas tank is
connected to your grill:
RESETTING THE REGULATOR FLOW LIMITING DEVICE
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Turn control knob to the "OFF" position.
Turn off the LP gas tank at the cylinder valve.
Disconnect regulator from LP gas tank.
Let tank stand for two minutes.
Reconnect regulator to the LP gas tank.
Open grill lid or side burner lid. Turn the cylinder valve on slowly until 1/4 or 1/2 open.
Light the grill by following the instructions on your control panel or in this owner's manual.
Question: How and when do I clean the interior cooking components of my grill?
Answer: Use a fiber or brass cleaning brush to clean the interior of the grill, cooking grills, heat distribution plates
and grease containers. Never use a wire brush or metal scraper on porcelain-finished parts, as they can scratch
or chip the porcelain finish and promote rusting.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Cleaning Stainless Steel Cooking Grills: Wash grills with a mild detergent and rinse with hot water before initial
use and as needed. DO NOT use a commercial oven cleaner. For stubborn food residue, use a degreaser and
fiber or brass cleaning brush.
Cleaning Porcelain-Finished Cast-Iron Cooking Grills: Wash grills with a mild detergent and rinse with hot
water before initial use and as needed. For stubborn food residue, use a degreaser and fiber or brass cleaning
brush. Dry immediately using a soft cloth or paper towels.
Cleaning Heat Distribution Plate: Heat distribution plates should be cleaned whenever food or grease drippings
accumulate to reduce the chance of flare-ups. Wash heat distribution plates with a mild detergent and rinse with
hot water. Use a degreaser and fiber or brass cleaning brush to remove stubborn food residue. Do not use a wire
brush or metal scraper on porcelain-finished heat distribution plates, as they can scratch or chip the porcelain
finish and promote rusting.
Cleaning the Grease Tray and/or Grease Cup: The grease tray and/or grease cup (some models) should be
inspected before each grill use to reduce the chance of fire. Remove grease (a plastic spatula works well) and
wash all parts with a mild soap or degreaser and warm water solution.
Question: What causes grill parts to rust and what effect does it have on the grill materials?
Answer: Rusting is a natural oxidation process and may appear on cast-iron and steel parts. Rust will not affect
the short-term performance of your grill. However, weathering and extreme heat can cause a stainless steel lid to
turn a bronze color. This is discoloration, not rust, and is not considered a manufacturing defect.
Question: What causes my stainless steel grill lid to discolor and how do I clean my grill lid?
Answer: Smoke, weathering and high heat can cause a stainless steel grill lid to turn bronze in color. This is not
to be confused with rust and is not a product defect. Machine oils used in the manufacturing process of stainless
steel as well as cooking oils and a dirty grill lid can also encourage discoloration if the lid is not cleaned prior to
grill use. After your grill is assembled, remove the protective PVC film from your grill lid and use a stainless steel
cleaner and soft cloth to remove residual adhesive and oils from the inside and outside of your grill lid. Never use
abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. In addition to the initial cleaning, routine cleaning to remove dirt, grease and oils
will help discourage lid discoloration.
Question: Can I convert my grill from propane gas to natural gas?
Answer: No, your gas grill is manufactured to exact specifications and is certified for either propane gas or
natural gas use only. For your safety, conversion kits are not available. Any attempt to convert your grill will void
your warranty.
Question: Why does the hose / regulator assembly supplied with my grill not fit the older LP gas tank I’ve
used for years?
Answer: U.S. Government regulates gas appliances and LP gas tanks. When regulations were changed, the LP
gas tank fittings were updated to ensure compliance. If your LP gas tank does not fit the hose / regulator supplied
with your new grill, the tank is outdated and must be replaced. Note: Effective April 1, 2002, all LP gas tanks sold
must include an "OPD" overflow protection device. This internal device prevents the LP gas tank from being
overfilled. Tanks without an OPD valve cannot be refilled.
Question: Sometimes I hear a humming sound coming from my gas regulator. Should I be concerned?
Answer: The humming sound is gas flowing through the regulator. A low volume of noise is normal and will not
interfere with the operation of your grill. If the humming noise is loud and excessive, you need to purge air from
the gas line or reset the regulator flow limiting device following the Regulator Resetting Procedure under
Connecting LP Cylinder and Hose/Regulator to Grill. This procedure should be done every time a new LP
gas tank is connected to your grill. For help, refer to your owner’s manual or call Brinkmann Customer Service
at 800-527-0717.
