GETTING STARTED
Remove the cooking grids and grease tray: wash thoroughly in
warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and dry with a soft towel,
do not air dry, and do not put in dishwasher.
SEASONING CAST IRON COOKING GRIDS:
Coat your cast iron cooking grids with high smoke point cooking
oil. Use a paper towel or cloth to coat cover all surfaces.
PRIMING THE GREASE SYSTEM
The grease tray on your Broil King
to redirect the cold smoke up towards the heat shield and
chimney. To prime the grease tray, add a ½cup [125ml] of water
to the empty grease trap. Note: As you use your grill the water
will be replaced by grease.
INITIAL 'BURN-IN'
Before you start to cook on your Broil King
Grill you must burn off the protective residues from
manufacturing.
1.
Plug the power cord into an appropriate grounded
electrical outlet.
2.
Inspect pellet hopper and auger prior to adding pellets to
ensure there are no foreign objects that could hinder
startup. Ensure the agitator is in the closed position.
3.
Add pellets using Broil King
best results. Never use heating fuel pellets.
4.
Set the Roto-Draft™ exhaust damper to position 5 (wide
open) to let the maximum amount of air in to fuel the fire.
5.
Open the lid during preheat for 10 min or until white smoke
turns clear.
6.
Power on the grill to activate the controller. After a few
seconds, the grill will go into startup mode.
7.
Set temperature to 500°F (260°C). Note: on initial burn in
the grill will take longer to heat up as the auger will need to
be primed with fuel prior to ignition. When target
temperature is reached – burn for an additional 15-20
minutes. This will burn off any of the protective coating
from manufacturing and begin the process of smoke
curing the internal components of the grill. The more you
use your pellet grill, the better the seasoning will be.
8.
When the grill is cool, thoroughly season cooking grids by
spraying or wiping a high smoke point cooking oil on them.
Ensure that the entire surface is generously coated
including the corners. For cast iron cooking grids, light
seasoning should be done before every use.
9.
When cooking is complete, use the trap door located on
the back of the pellet hopper to remove any excess fuel
and store fuel in a warm dry place so it is ready for your
next cookout.
10.
Clean the grease tray frequently to reduce the possibility
of a grease fire. Please see "Maintenance" for more
details.
11.
Clean the burn pot using the agitator and remove the
ashes from the ash tray frequently to ensure best
performance. When you are finished cleaning out the burn
pot you must ensure the agitator is in the closed position.

Note: your grill will always start with an ignition and
preheat cycle and end with a 15-minute shut-down.
LIGHTING / START-UP
Open the lid of the smoker and ensure the chimney damper is in
the open position.
Press the illuminated power button on the grill to activate the
controller. After a few seconds, the grill will automatically go into
ignition and preheat cycle.
Preheat to desired cooking temperature by using the control
dial. Set the desired temperature by pushing in the dial. You will
hear a beep and the set temperature will flash for three seconds
then return to the actual temperature. If you prefer to use a
preset temperature, press the SMOKE, ROAST or GRILL
button. The lid must be open during the preheat for the first 10
minutes or until white smoke turns clear. You can use the Broil
King
®
grid lifter (60745) to hold the lid open at a lower position
in case of windy or rainy conditions.
COOKING
Once preheat cycle is complete and the desired temperature is
reached, load food into the grill and close the lid.
SHUT-DOWN
Press the illuminated power button on the grill to deactivate the
controller. After a few seconds, the grill will automatically go into
shutdown cycle (15 minutes). Once grill is completely cool,
unplug and remove ash from burn pot using the agitator. Clean
the grease tray. Empty pellet hopper using hopper cleanout. For
best cooking results store pellets in a cool dry place between
cookouts.
