Proper care, maintenance and cleaning will help ensure a long life 

for your grill. Periodic cleaning will help avoid accumulations of 

flammable grease and other debris.

Clean regularly with a solution of mild detergent and hot water.  

Touch-up paint is available from your dealer.  Broilmaster protec-

tive covers are recommended.  Stainless steel components can 

be easily cleaned with a spray-on stainless steel cleaner found in 

most hardware stores.

The burners of your grill are designed to provide a long life of 

satisfactory performance. However, there are steps you must take 

to prevent cracking of their ceramic surfaces, which will cause the 

burners to malfunction. Following are the most common causes of 

cracks and the steps you must take to avoid them. Damage caused 

by failure to follow these steps is not covered by your grill warranty. 

IMPACT WITH HARD OBJECTS - Never allow hard objects to 

strike the ceramic. Take particular care when inserting or removing 

the cooking grids and accessories into or from the grill. If objects 

such as these fall onto the ceramic, it is likely to crack the ceramic.

IMPAIRED VENTILATION OF HOT AIR FROM THE GRILL - In order 

for the burners to function properly, hot air created by the burners 

must have a way to escape the grill. If the hot air is not allowed 

to escape, the burners may become deprived of oxygen, causing 

them to backfire, especially if the burner output is set at HIGH. If 

this occurs repeatedly, the burners may crack. Never operate your 

grill with very little or no open space at the cooking surface (the 

cooking grids provide sufficient open space. 

Examples:

• 

DO NOT operate the grill on "HIGH" with the hood closed.

• 

DO NOT use accessories in combinations that cover more than 

75% of the cooking surface with solid metal.

• 

DO NOT cover the entire surface with aluminum foil, a large 

pan, etc.

WATER AND OTHER LIQUIDS - When the burners are in operation, 

their intense heat is normally sufficient to vaporize any drippings, 

marinates or sauces that contact the surface as a by-product of 

grilling. This does not include water thrown into the grill to douse a 

flame. Cold liquid contacting a hot surface in substantial amounts 

can cause the surface to break. Also, if the ceramic or interior of a 

burner becomes wet while not in use, later operation of the burner 

can create steam, which may produce enough pressure to crack 

the ceramic. In addition, repeated soaking of the ceramic will cause 

it to swell and expand. This expansion will create pressure on the 

ceramic and cause it to crack and crumble. 

To prevent burner damage caused by liquids, please do the fol-

lowing:

• 

Never throw liquid into the grill to control a flare-up.

• 

Never expose the burners to the risk of soaking by rainfall, 

sprinklers or otherwise. We recommend that the grill be cov-

ered with a heavy duty vinyl cover at all times when it is not in 

use. Do not attempt to operate your grill in the open air while 

it is raining. Finally, using the grill, close the hood as soon as 

the burners are off so that, if it rains, the burners will not be 

exposed to direct rainfall while the grill is cooling.

• 

If standing water is in the grill (because of exposure to rainfall, 

etc.) examine the ceramic burner surfaces for evidence of pos-

sible water soaking. If the ceramic appears to be wet, remove 

the burners from the grill and turn them upside down to empty 

any water from the burner box. After draining all the water, place 

the burners indoors and allow to dry thoroughly. Also, empty 

any water standing in the grill's drip tray. Then, reinstall the 

burners. After testing for gas leaks around all fittings, resume 

normal use of the grill.

CAUTION: ALWAYS ALLOW THE GRILL TO COOL BEFORE 

CLEANING. DO NOT LET LIQUIDS COME IN CONTACT WITH 

THE BURNER SURFACE AT ANY TIME.

Empty periodically.  Replacement tray liners can be purchased at 

most supermarkets where disposable aluminum baking pans are 

displayed.
