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
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
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
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.
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.
12.
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
(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.
While cooking you may add pellets directly into the pellet hopper
as needed.
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.
