Propane Cylinder Safety
Liquid Propane (LP) gas has a long history of safe use when the
safety precautions provided in this manual are followed.
Failure to follow these safety precautions could result in a
re or explosion causing property damage or personal injury.
Propane gas cylinders should always be handled, stored, and
transported with extreme caution in a secured upright position.
Never attempt to use or repair a propane gas cylinder that has been
damaged. Never attempt to use or repair a cylinder with a faulty or
damaged valve outlet. A cylinder that has been dropped, dented,
or otherwise damaged must be replaced.
A propane gas cylinder should never be transported in the pas-
senger area of a vehicle.
Keep cylinders out of direct sunlight and never apply any other
source of direct heat to them.
When relling your cylinder, always insist on a reputable, qualied
gas dealer. Your propane gas cylinder is lled by weight, and should
never exceed eighty percent (80%) of its weight limit. If the cylin-
der is not completely empty, the gas dealer must make necessary
adjustments to ensure it is not overlled. Never use an overlled
Propane gas cylinder.
Cylinder Storage
Your grill must be stored outdoors in a well ventilated area if the
cylinder is attached to it.
Disconnected cylinders must have a threaded valve plug tightly
installed and must not be stored in any building, garage, or other
enclosed area.
Flammable materials (gasoline, grill covers, etc.) must not be stored
in the cylinder enclosure.
Always store Propane cylinders in a secured upright position, out
of the reach of children.
PROPANE GAS GRILLS
Connection Requirements
Caution: Never use Liquid Propane (LP) gas in a grill designed
for Natural gas, or Natural gas in a grill designed for Liquid
Propane gas. Questions regarding different types of gases
should be directed to your local gas supplier.
Installation must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. In Canada,
installation shall be in accordance with CAN/CGA-B149.2 Propane
Installation Code, or CAN/CGA-B149.1 Natural Gas Installation
Code, and local codes where applicable. Consult your local gas
supplier or propane gas dealer for code regulations and recom-
mended procedures.
Warning: Broilmaster Premium Gas Grills require Liquid
Propane (LP) cylinders equipped with an Overll Protection
Device (OPD). An overlled or improperly lled Propane cyl-
inder can be dangerous.
Always use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied
with your Propane gas grill.
Note: Not all valve and cylinder combinations are compatible.
Check warning tag on valve and cylinder as well as external tting
threads.
All Broilmaster pressure regulators and hose assemblies require
Propane cylinders with a Type 1 connection device as illustrated.
See Figure 1.
Figure 1
B102188-0-0114Page 12
Pressure Regulator and Hose Assembly
The pressure regulator has an outlet pressure of not more than
eleven (11") inches water column. It must be connected to the
Propane gas cylinder’s valve outlet before the grill can be operated.
Caution: Operation of a Propane gas grill without the pres-
sure regulator and hose assembly will cause gas leaks which
could lead to re or explosion, resulting in property damage
or personal injury.
The pressure regulator’s tting must remain clean and free of nicks
and scratches. A dirty, nicked or scratched tting can cause a gas
leak, resulting in an explosion or re. Use only genuine Broilmaster
replacement parts unless otherwise specied by the manufacturer.
Connecting to Propane Gas / Cylinder Retention Means
ATTENTION: Propane gas cylinders that are acceptable for
use with this grill must comply with Cylinder Requirements, Page
10, and Connection Requirements, Page 11.
Position the cylinder in the opening in the bottom of the cart and
secure with the cylinder retaining bracket. See Figure 2.

Checking for Gas Leaks
Check for gas leaks every time you connect your Broilmaster pro-
pane gas grill to a Propane gas cylinder, when a connected 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 solu-
tion.
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 dened 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 dened.
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.

Before Cooking
Before cooking on a grill for the rst time, burn off any manufacturing
process oil residue.
1. Raise the grill lid.
2. Light grill burner.
3. Burn on HI for ten minutes.
4. Close the lid and burn on HI for an additional ten minutes.
5. The grill is now ready for use.
Preheating
Before cooking on a gas grill, allow the grill to preheat on HI for 15
minutes with the lid closed.
This uses very little fuel and provides better avor.
OPERATION
Electrical Accessories
• If an electrical accessory is used on your grill, the accessory
must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or,
in the absence of local codes, with the National Electric Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70. In Canada, the electrical accessory must be
electrically grounded in accordance with the applicable section
of the current Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
• Any electrical accessory should be equipped with a three-
prong (grounding) plug, and plugged into a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle or wall outlet. Do not cut or remove
the grounding prong from the plug.
• If an extension cord is required, use only a three-prong cord and
plug into a properly grounded receptacle as described above.
• Do not expose an electrical accessory to water. Avoid using
any electrical accessory in wet weather as it may present a
shock hazard.
• Keep any electrical cord and fuel supply hose away from all
heated surfaces.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Grill
Caution: To prevent injury, use care when cleaning a hot grill.
Note: Do not use a commercial cleaner on the cooking grid.
Do not brush grids while they are hot. Do not scrape grids.
Grids and Drip Pan
The grids are made of high quality stainless steel and should be
brushed with a brass brush while the grill is still warm.
The drip pan is made of high quality stainless steel as well and can
be cleaned with a scraping tool. The pan must be kept clean of heavy
build-up for the grill to perform properly and to reduce are-ups.
Clean as needed or approximately every 10 uses.
Burn Off
This process is much like that used in self-cleaning ovens and is
most efcient when completed after each use of the grill.
Caution: Do not open the grill during the burn off process.
Opening the grill during the burn off process may cause a
sudden grease re are 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.
Grill Bottom
Once or twice a year remove cooking grids and drip pan to clean
the interior of the grill. Scrape off baked on residue with a putty
knife or brass brush and rinse with water.
Burner Maintenance
Stainless steel burners often turn reddish brown after use. This does
not affect the performance of the grill. When cleaning the interior of
the grill, remove the burners and clean with a brass brush. Wash
with water and a mild detergent.
Drip Pipe and Valve
Drain pipe and valve must be kept clear of grease and food particles
to allow the grease to drain properly. To clear the drain pipe and
valve, run a exible drain brush through both and remove.
Bucket
The bucket can be stored under the grill lid when the grill is not in
use.
Venturi Tubes
The venturi tubes allow air and gas to mix prior to burning, thus
ensuring an efcient ame. Spiders or other small insects may
build webs or nests inside the tubes obstructing air ow. Fire, or
ashback, can occur, in and/or around obstructed venturi tubes and
can cause damage to components beneath the grill or an unsafe
condition. To reduce risk, inspect and clean the Venturi Tubes at
least twice monthly when spiders are active. If the grill has been
unused for an extended period of time inspect the tubes before
using the grill.
Clean venturi tubes as follows:
1. Remove the cooking grids and drip pan.
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 26.
4. Use a small exible brush to remove any debris for the tube(s).
5. Flush with water.
6. Allow the tube(s) to dry before reinstalling.
7. Reinstall the venturi tubes, igniter and burner bracket to burner.
Figure 26
Exterior
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.

COOKING TIPS
Cook Food To Proper Temperatures
Cooking food safely requires that you raise the internal temperature of the meat high enough and for a long enough period
of time to kill any food-borne bacteria that may cause illnesses.
Color is not the best indicator that food is safe to eat. Use a high-quality probe thermometer to be sure your food is prop-
erly cooked. Place the tip of an instant-read thermometer into the center of the thickest part of the food but at least 1/2
inch deep. Read the temperature after about 10 seconds. Follow the temperature guidelines for the type of food you’re
cooking.
The following guidelines are from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.
Cook to Internal Temp
Meat & Poultry Medium Rare Medium Well Done
Fresh Beef - Medium Rare 145°F 160°F 170°F
Ground turkey, chicken 165°F
Ground veal, beef, lamb, pork 145°F with 3 minutes of rest and then turn
Fresh Pork - Medium 160°F 170°F
Chicken - whole 165°F
Turkey - whole 165°F
Poultry breasts, roast 165°F
Poultry thighs, wings 165°F
Stufng (cooked alone or in bird) 165°F
Duck and goose 180°F
Fresh Veal - Medium Rare 160°F
Fresh Lamb - Medium Rare 145°F 160°F 170°F
Ham - fresh (raw) 145°F 160°F 170°F
Ham - pre-cooked (reheat) 140°F
Seafood
Fish Cook until esh turns opaque and akes easily with a fork.
Shrimp, lobster, crab Cook until shells turn red and esh becomes pearly opaque.
Scallops Should turn milky white or opaque and rm.
Clams, mussels, oysters Cook until shells open.
The Qrave Grill is an indirect gas grill. This means that the ame never comes in contact with the food and does not are
up. The drip pan vaporizes all the drippings into smoke and moisture. This produces tastier and juicier foods. You will be
amazed at how easy it is to cook all your favorites and more; perfect every time.
The following instructions are to be used as a guideline. You may need to adjust the cooking times and temperatures to
suite your own taste.
When cooking on the Qrave Grill, it is essential that the lid remain closed. This not only keeps the temperature constant,
but holds in the moisture as well.
The drip pan drain valve should be open when grilling. This allows the excess grease to continuously drain into the catch
bucket. The only time the drain valve should be closed is when cooking with a liquid in the pan.

COOKING TIPS
Grilling
1. Place the cooking grids in the low position.
2. Preheat your grill with both valve knobs set to High for 15
minutes.
We recommend that when grilling, the valve knobs should remain
on high. This cooking method is great for hamburgers, steaks,
chops, etc.
Roasting
When roasting it is important to remember that it is just like cook-
ing in your oven. Hint: You may want to ll the drip pan with water
or a marinade to create more avor and moisture.
1. Close the drip pan drain valve and ll the pan about half full
with water or marinade.
2. Set the cooking grids at the low position.
3. Preheat the grill with both controls on High for 15 minutes.
4. Set the valve knobs to the desired temperature using the
Quick Temperature Reference Chart.
While cooking, monitor the heat indicator on the grill and adjust
temperature as necessary.
More water or marinade may need to be added to the pan as it
evaporates during cooking.
Roasted chicken, turkey or pork roasts will never taste better.
Baking
Before starting, make sure the drip tray is clean.
1. Place the cooking grids at the high position to remove the
food away from the direct heat.
2. Preheat your grill with both valve knobs set to High for 15
minutes.
3. Set the valve knobs to the desired temperature using the
Quick Temperature Reference Chart.
Use the heat indicator on the grill to more accurately adjust the
temperature.
Even cookies, pizza and desserts can be made on the Qrave Grill.
Steaming
Before starting, make sure the drip tray is clean.
1. Set the cooking grids at the low position.
2. Close the drip pan drain valve and ll pan with water. Be care-
ful not to over-ll the pan.
3. Preheat your grill with both valve knobs set to High for 15
minutes.
4. The valve knobs will remain on high for steaming. Cook until
desired taste. More liquid may need to be added to the pan as
it evaporates during cooking.
Vegetables and seafood taste great when steamed in the Qrave
Grill.
Smoking
The Qrave Grill is equipped with a front load smoker box.
1. Soak your avor smoking chips in water for about 15 minutes.
This will make the chips burn slower and create more avor.
2. Remove the smoker box and ll with the soaked chips and
then replace.
3. Set the cooking grids at the low position.
4. Preheat your grill with both valve knobs set to High for 15
minutes or until you detect smoke.
5. Place the food on the grill and adjust the temperature as de-
sired.
Note: The left knob controls the amount of heat under the
smoker box. The smoker box is designed to be used on
low for best results.
This works great for adding smoke avor when grilling and roast-
ing.
Slow Cooking with Smoking
The Qrave Grill has dual controls for more control for those low
temperatures needed for slow cooking.
1. Adjust the cooking grids to the high position.
2. Close the drain valve and add water or marinade to the drip
pan. It is recommended to slow cook with a liquid in the pan
to keep the food from drying out. More liquid may need to be
added to the pan as it evaporates during cooking.
3. Preheat your grill with both valve knobs set to High for 15
minutes.
4. Turn off the right valve knob and turn the left valve knob to
low. Hint: The left valve knob controls the heat on the smok-
er box. Add water-soaked avor chips to the smoker tray as
needed. Most chips will last about an hour before needing to
be replaced.
Turn the food once an hour when slow cooking.
Slow cooking with a Qrave Grill could mean the best ribs or brisket
your family has ever tasted.
CAUTION: Always use an oven mitt when removing smoker
box while grill is hot. Make sure chips are cooled before emp-
tying smoker box.
