MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Grill

 

CAUTION

T

o prevent injury, use care when cleaning a hot grill.

Buy a good grill brush.  Inexpensive grill brushes tend to lose 

their metal bristles, which can stick to your cooking grids and 

become embedded in foods.

A grill builds up a patina of smoke residue.  This “seasoning” is 

normal and actually enhances the flavor of your foods.  If the 

build-up grows too thick, it can flake off and fall onto your food.   

To remove excess build-up, let the grill cool completely and then 

brush thoroughly with a high-quality grill brush.

Note:  Do not use a commercial cleaner on the cooking grid. 

For baked on residue use grill brush on the cooking grid 

and other components.

Burn Off

This process is much like that used in self-cleaning ovens and 

is most efficient when completed after each use of the grill.

 

CAUTION

D

o not open the grill during the burn off process.  

Opening the grill during the burn off process may cause 

a sudden grease fire flare up that could burn your face 

and arms.  Wait until the grill has cooled before opening.

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 to clean the interior of the 

grill.  Scrape off baked on residue with a putty knife or 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 brush.  

Wash with water and a mild detergent.

Grease Cup

Empty periodically.  

Venturi Tubes

The  venturi  tubes  allow  air  and  gas  to  mix  prior  to  burning, 

ensuring an efficient flame.  Spiders or other small insects may 

build webs or nests inside the tubes obstructing air flow.  This can 

cause a fire, or flashback, around the obstructed venturi tubes 

and may damage to components beneath the grill or an unsafe 

condition.  To reduce risk, inspect and clean the venturi tubes 

Exterior Cleaning

Turn off the grill and allow it to cool before cleaning.  Never use 

aerosol sprays or flammable cleaners on or near a hot grill.

Do not use abrasive pads or cleaners on stainless or painted 

components.

Clean the grill exterior regularly with a solution of mild detergent 

and hot water.

Touch-up paint is available from your dealer.

To protect your grill from the elements, use a Broilmaster pro-

tective cover Clean stainless steel components with a stainless 

steel cleaner available in most hardware stores.

Briquettes

 

If the briquettes did not come clean during burn off, wait for the 

grill to cool and then turn them over.  The residue will burn off 

during the next warm-up.

Heat Indicator

Clean any build-up from indicator probe once a season to prevent 

loss of accuracy.

CLEANING VENTURI TUBES

at least twice per year and more often if  spiders are active.  If 

the grill has been unused for an extended period of time inspect 

the tubes before using the grill.

Cleaning Venturi Tubes

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. 

 

See Figure Below. 

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.  Reattach the venturi, collector box, and bracket in the reverse 

order removed.

8.   Reinstall burner, briquette rack, and cooking grids.
