(See Flashback Section). Since the grill housing is heavy
After cleaning burner assembly and the lower housing of grill, reinstall burner. TURN YOUR GAS SUPPLY (LP OR NAT) ON AND TEST ALL FITTINGS FOR LEAKS. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO LIGHT GRILL, BE CERTAIN BOTH VALVES ARE IN THE OFF POSITION. TURN GAS SUPPLY ON (leaving both control knobs to the "OFF" position).
CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS WITH A SOLUTION OF 50% LIQUID SOAP, 50% WATER. SOLUTION CAN BE SPRAYED ON WITH A SPRAY BOTTLE OR PAINTED ON ALL CONNECTIONS WITH A BRUSH. IF
BUBBLES APPEAR, TURN OFF GAS, TIGHTEN FITTINGS AND TRY AGAIN.
We also recommend keeping your grill covered at all times when not is use. For cleaning all stainless steel surfaces, use a good grade of stainless cleaner such as our PGS “SSC”(spray Stainless Steel
Cleaner) or our SS Wipes (towelettes with cleaner on them).
To maintain cooking grids, we recommend brushing with a grill cleaning brass brush after grill has completely cooled. A light vegetable oil on grids just before cooking will prevent food from sticking to the surface. NEVER PLACE COOKING GRIDS IN A
FLASHBACK
In many areas, spiders or small insects have been found to create "flashback" problems. The spiders spin webs and/or insects build nests in the grill's venturi tube(s). The web and/or nests can lead to gas flow obstruction, which can damage your grill as it results in a "flashback" (a fire in the venturi tube(s). See illustration below. The grill may still light, but the obstruction does not allow full gas flow
to the burner. Therefore, some gas will back up and escape at the venturi air shutter. This will ignite, causing flashback, which could also damage your grill (see illustration). To remove spider webs and/or other obstructions, you must remove the burner and clean out the venturi with a long narrow
bottlebrush.
Spider webs inside venturi
THIS SHOULD BE DONE ROUTINELY AFTER THE GRILL HAS SET IDLE FOR EXTENDED PERIODS. Your PGS grill has fine mesh brass screening placed inside the burner venturis to minimize this problem. Please DO NOT damage or remove these screens when you clean your burners.
BE CERTAIN THAT YOUR GAS SUPPLY IS OFF AND YOUR GAS FEED LINE HAS BEEN BLED OF ANY FUEL. REMOVE BURNER AS DESCRIBED IN THE PERIODIC CLEANING SECTION.
CLEAN OUT THE VETURI WITH A VENTURI CLEANING BRUSH, PIPE CLEANERS, OR OTHER SIMILAR ITEM.
BE CERTAIN THAT THE BURNER VENTURI’S ARE ENGAGED ON VALVES AT LEAST 1/4”.
If you live in an area where spiders are plentiful, you should make it a point to clean the venturis often. You may want to spray around the bottom of your cart or masonry enclosure with an insect repellent on a regular basis. You may also put MOTH BALLS in the bottom of your cart or masonry enclosure. PLEASE BE CERTAIN TO KEEP THEM AWAY FROM ANIMALS AND CHILDREN.
BEFORE LIGHTING YOUR GRILL:
TURN YOUR GAS SUPPLY (LP OR NAT) ON AND TEST ALL FITTINGS FOR LEAKS. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO LIGHT GRILL, BE CERTAIN BOTH VALVES ARE IN THE OFF POSITION. TURN GAS SUPPLY ON (leaving both control knobs to the "OFF" position) AND CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS WITH A SOLUTION OF 50% LIQUID SOAP, 50%
WATER. SOLUTION CAN BE SPRAYED ON WITH A SPRAY BOTTLE OR PAINTED ON ALL CONNECTIONS WITH A BRUSH. IF BUBBLES APPEAR, TURN OFF GAS, TIGHTEN FITTINGS AND TRY AGAIN.
NOTE: Replace battery when sparks noticeably slow down or every six months, whichever is first. If you are not going to use your grill for 30 days or more, remove battery.
FLARE-UPS
When you cook fatty foods over an open flame, you can expect

¾Turn your control knob(s) to a lower heat setting.
¾ Move the meat to another part of the grill, if possible. With multiple burners, you can cook on one side and move food, as necessary to the unlighted side or lower heat setting.
¾Cook with the lid open to reduce heat inside of grill head. Periodically flip rock so that it can self clean.
¾If you need to immediately control any excessive
GAS GRILL CONVERSION
We strongly recommend having your gas grill converted by a servicing dealer, your local gas utility or other trained personnel. PLEASE NOTE, IMPROPER ORIFICE SIZE COULD RESULT IN EITHER INSUFFICIENT OR EXCESS GAS GOING TO BURNER, AND MAY POSE A SAFETY RISK.
TROUBLESHOOTING
SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this or any other grill, and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a very dangerous condition, which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate.
WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS
You should inspect the burners at least twice a year or immediately if any of the following conditions occur:
