• Never lean over hot grill surface or look directly into grill when attempting to light. The grill hood must be opened
fully when lighting. Be sure that all family members are aware of safe lighting and operating procedures for the grill.
• If a professional installer or dealer installs the grill, be sure that he shows you where your gas supply shut off is
located. All gas lines must have a shut off that is readily and easily accessible. If you smell gas, check for gas leaks
immediately. Check only with a soap and water solution. Never check for gas leaks with an open flame.
• Never use charcoal, volcanic rock, wood chip materials, or non-PGS briquettes in your grill.
• Keep the optional rotisserie motor and electrical supply cord away from heated casting, cooking grids, other hot
parts or water. Store rotisserie motor and parts in a dry place when not is use.
• Never use grill in a windy area and never use the grill during an extremely windy day. Climatic conditions will
impact the performance of the grill. In consistently windy conditions, we suggest installing a suitable windbreak.
• Always adhere to the required clearances from combustibles. THE GRILL IS DESIGNED FOR USE OUTDOORS
ONLY; never operate in garage, buildings, shed, breezeways or other enclosed areas.
• Store your grill in a well-vented area. Remove the LP cylinder, if equipped with one, and store it outdoors in a
well-ventilated area away from heat and where children may possibly tamper with it.
• When using the optional side burner kit, use pots that have flat bottoms and are large enough to cover the entire
burner. Adjust the flame so that it only heats the bottom of the pot or pan to avoid the possible lighting of clothing.
Position handle in a way that it does not conflict with the opening and closing of grill lid. You cannot operate your side
burner kit and rotisserie motor simultaneously.
• Grease is extremely flammable. Let hot grease cool down before attempting to handle or dispose. Please clean
out your grease tray or grease can on a regular basis.
• Never cover cooking grid with a material that will trap heat beneath cooking grids, such as large pans or aluminum
foil. Heat reflected below may cause damage to rock grates, burners, gas valve assembly and possibly to gas train.
You need only to “Pre-Heat” your grill five to seven minutes before cooking. You do not need to “Burn-Off” your gas
grill for extended times after use.
• Spiders and other small insects can build nests or webs in the burners of your PGS grill, which will cause gas to
flow out from the front of the burner tubes. This can cause a fire to burn behind your control panel, thereby damaging
your grill and makes the grill unsafe to operate. Inspect your grill twice a year or immediately when symptoms
appear. See "FLASHBACK" on page 22.
• Please refer to specific sections of this manual (see Table of Contents) if you have questions regarding different
types of fuels, lighting, or trouble-shooting. If you have questions that are not answered in this manual, please call
your local dealer.
• The grill must be located no closer than 30" from any combustible surface above, behind or to the sides. The grill
should not be located under overhead-unprotected combustible materials.
•
Keep the area around the grill clear of combustible materials, flammable vapors or liquids such as gasoline.
The grill surfaces become very hot during use. Keep children and pets away. Use hot pads or oven mitts.
