Side Burner Location
Gas Type
Your Broilmaster® side burner is factory equipped
for LP gas. Natural gas conversion instructions
are located in the Natural Gas section of this
manual. Never use liquid propane gas with a grill
designed for natural gas, or natural gas with a grill
designed for liquid propane gas. The type gas
required for your grill can be determined from its
product identification label. Questions regarding
different types of gases should be directed to your
gas supplier.
Your grill and side burner have been designed for
outdoor use ONLY.
This side burner mounts on the right side of a
Broilmaster® gas grill and cannot be used with
another grill or for any other purpose.
You should never install or operate your grill and
side burner in any building, garage, or other
enclosed area.
For your safety, the grill and side burner
should not be installed or operated under any
combustible materials, such as carports,
covered porches, awnings, or overhangs.
Cylinder Requirements
Your Broilmaster® Premium Gas Grill requires a
standard twenty (20) pound propane gas cylinder.
Never install or use your grill and side burner
in or on any recreational vehicle or boat.
The propane gas cylinder used must be:

THIS GRILL AND SIDE BURNER AT CLEARANCES LESS
THAN SPECIFIED BELOW MAY CAUSE A FIRE, PROPERTY
DAMAGE, OR PERSONAL INJURY.
A minimum clearance of sixteen (16") inches is
required from all sides of the side burner to any
combustible material. Refer to the grill’s Owner’s
Manual for specific grill clearances.
applicable.
2. provided with a listed overfilling protection device
(OPD).
3. provided with a listed safety device having direct
access with the vapor space of the cylinder and
the cylinder supply system must be arranged
for vapor removal.
Examples of combustible materials are patio
furniture, fences, or the wall of your home.
4. provided with a shutoff valve terminating in a
valve outlet as specified in the Standard for
Compressed Gas Cylinder Outlet and Inlet
Connections, ANSICGA-V-1.
5. provided with a plug to effectively seal off the
cylinder outlet when the cylinder is being stored
or transported.
The area surrounding the grill and side burner
should be clear to ensure proper ventilation. Do
not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air in any way. The ventilation openings on the
propane cylinder enclosure must also remain free
and clear of debris.
6. provided with a collar to protect the cylinder
valve.
Portable grills with side burners should be level
and positioned away from direct wind prior to each
use.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE A PROPANE GAS CYLINDER
WHICH HAS A CAPACITY GREATER THAN TWENTY (20)
POUNDS WITH THIS GRILL AND SIDE BURNER.
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL OR OPERATE THIS
GRILL AND SIDE BURNER WHERE GASOLINE OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE MATERIALS ARE USED OR STORED. FAILURE
TO COMPLY WITH THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN
EXPLOSION OR FIRE CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE OR
PERSONAL INJURY.

PROPANE GAS CONNECTION
Propane Cylinder Safety
Liquid propane gas has a long history of safe use
when the safety precautions provided in this
manual are followed.
Connection Requirements
CAUTION: NEVER USE LIQUID PROPANE 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 COMPANY.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
COULD RESULT IN A FIRE OR EXPLOSION CAUSING
PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
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 company or
Propane gas dealer for code regulations and
recommended procedures.
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.
®
WARNING: BROILMASTER GAS GRILLS AND SIDE
BURNERS REQUIRE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDERS
EQUIPPED WITH AN OVERFILL PROTECTION DEVICE
(OPD). AN OVERFILLED OR IMPROPERLY FILLED
PROPANE CYLINDER CAN BE DANGEROUS.
A propane gas cylinder should never be
transported in the passenger area of a vehicle.
Keep cylinders out of direct sunlight and never
apply any other source of direct heat to them.
Always use the pressure regulator and hose
assembly supplied with your propane gas grill.
When refilling your cylinder, always insist on a
reputable, qualified gas dealer. Your propane gas
cylinder is filled by weight, and should never
exceed eighty (80%) percent of its weight limit. If
the cylinder is not completely empty, the gas
dealer must make necessary adjustments to
ensure it is not overfilled. Never use an overfilled
Propane gas cylinder.
Note: Not all valve and cylinder combinations are
compatible. Check warning tag on valve and
cylinder as well as external fitting threads.
All Broilmaster® pressure regulators and hose
assemblies require propane cylinders with a Type
1 connection device as illustrated by Figure 8.
Cylinder Storage
Your grill must be stored outdoors in a well
ventilated area if the cylinder is attached to it.
FIGURE 8
Disconnected cylinders must have a threaded
valve plug tightly installed and must not be stored
in any building, garage, or other 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.

end of the hose to the "tee" (20) and use two
wrenches to tighten the S/S flex line connections.
One wrench should be used to turn the S/S flex line
connector while the "tee" or valve is held with the
second wrench. FIGURE 11.
CAUTION: OPERATION OF A PROPANE GAS GRILL AND
SIDE BURNER WITHOUT THE PRESSURE REGULATOR AND
HOSE ASSEMBLY WILL CAUSE GAS LEAKS WHICH COULD
LEAD TO FIRE OR EXPLOSION, RESULTING IN PROPERTY
DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
The pressure regulator’s fitting must remain clean
and free of nicks and scratches. A dirty, nicked or
scratched fitting can cause a gas leak, resulting in
an explosion or fire. Use only genuine Broilmaster®
replacement parts unless otherwise specified by the
manufacturer.
