Installation
The Broilmaster
®
Flavor Screen is designed as an alternative to
briquettes in your grill. To install the Flavor Screen, simply:
1. If installed remove cooking grids
2. Remove the briquettes from the grill.
3. Flavor Screen Placement
P3 Grills
• Place the Flavor Screen on the briquette rack or
• Remove the briquette rack and place the Flavor
Screen on grill body.
• On
P3F
grills, the flavor screen will be placed on grill
body (no briquette rack is needed)
P4 Grills
• The Flavor Screen must sit on either the briquette rack
or on the rack which is included with the Flavor Screen
kit.
4. Replace the cooking grids.
NOTE: Do not use briquette’s when Flavor Screen is in
-
stalled.
Operation
1. Follow the instructions for lighting your Broilmaster
®
gas
grill.
2. Allow the grill to preheat for 10 minutes. With initial use,
you will see a small amount of smoke during preheat. This is
normal. Wait till smoke is gone before cooking.
3. Grill as you normally would. You will notice an increased
amount of smoke, which adds that “charcoal grilled” flavor
to your food.
4. If grease ignites on the Flavor Screen, turn the tempera-
ture down to achieve maximum performance of the Flavor
Screen.
Note: Because of the nature of the Flavor Screen, low tem
-
perature settings will cook as quickly and thoroughly as high
one’s. This will reduce the cost of operating your grill.
5. After grilling you should allow the unit to clean itself (see
details in the following section).
Use and Care
Your Flavor Screen will give you many years of flavorful service;
however, you should read and observe the following precau
-
tions.
The Flavor Screen has a self cleaning feature and will normally
clean itself if the grill is left on the high setting for 15 minutes after
all cooking is complete. However the length of time and method
of cleaning the Flavor Screen should be tailored to your cooking
habits. Use the following suggestions to develop a method that
will keep your screen clean and performing as it should.
Normal Cleaning Method
After the completion of grilling, turn the grill to high until only
an occasional wisp of smoke is seen (about 5 minutes). This will
remove most of the material that builds up on the Flavor Screen.
The next time you grill allow the grill to preheat on high for 5-10
minutes to complete the cleaning cycle.
Periodic Thorough Cleaning Method
At least once every 5 to 6 uses (more if you experience heavy
buildup, less if you do not) you should go through a complete
cleaning cycle. This consists of turning the grill on high for a 15-
20 minute period. Allow the grill to cool completely, remove the
Flavor Screen and flip it over that the heavy build-up side is down
or brush it with a
soft bristled brush (paint brush or BBQ brush).

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Flavor Screen do?
This structure intercepts the grease and other drippings from
the food being grilled. Flames from grease which burns within
the flavor screen and below the flavor screen can’t reach the
food being grilled.
What are the benefits of the Flavor Screen?
• Enhances the amount and quality of smoke. The Flavor Screen
creates smoke from the natural juices of the food being grilled.
This results in that “charcoal grilled” flavor.
• Reduces flare-ups. When properly installed and maintained, the
unit will reduce flare-ups.
• Prevents foods from drying out. Because the Flavor Screen
eliminates flames and generates smoke and steam from the
natural juices, the food does not dry out.
• Improves heat distribution. The Flavor Screen is designed to
distribute the heat output of the burners by evenly distributing
the hot gases produced by the burner.
• Improves heat response. The stainless steel construction of the
Flavor Screen does not store excess heat; therefore, when the
burner temperature is adjusted, the temperature at the grilling
surface changes very quickly (usually within 90 seconds). This
enhances your ability to sear the food then reduce the heat and
grill it over a low heat.
• Increases the life of the grill. The Flavor Screen reduces by
up to 75% the amount of grease that reaches the burners and
surrounding area. Grease and drippings are the primary reason
for corrosion of the burners and grill body.
Can I use wood chips with the Flavor Screen?
Definitely, you can place them on top of the Flavor Screen.
When placed on top of the Flavor Screen you may experience
some flare-ups.
