After cleaning burner assembly and the lower casting of grill, reinstall burner to lower casting.

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 in 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. BE SURE ORIFICES ARE ENGAGED INTO THE BURNER VENTURIS.

3.The exterior of your grill has been powder coated and baked with a special high temperature powder process that seals the paint to the grill housing. The grill will retain its appearance with a little care. Occasional white oxidation may be washed off with a mild soap and warm water. Once oxidation is removed, turn your grill burners to low heat, close lid and allow to heat up for FIVE MINUTES. After grill housing is WARM apply a small amount of vegetable oil or PGS Stainless Steel Cleaner with a clean lint free cloth and apply evenly to grill housing. This method will keep your grill looking new for many years.

We also recommend keeping your grill covered at all times, when not in use.

For stubborn cases, high temperature touch up paint can make an old grill appear new. Allow 24 hours for paint to dry before using grill.

4.If your pedestal is black galvanized steel you can protect this with a car finish protectant. If you have a stainless support use a good grade of stainless cleaner such as our PGS "SSC" (Stainless Steel Cleaner).

5.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 SELF-CLEANING OVEN. If grids are very dirty, you may want to see your PGS Dealer for a commercial quality grid cleaner. Be sure to oil before using.

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). 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 Fig. 20 a, b).

Your PGS grill has fine mesh brass screening placed around the burner venturis to minimize this problem. Please DO NOT damage or remove these screens when you clean your burners.

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 base with an insect repellent on a regular basis. You may also put MOTHBALLS in the bottom of your base.

PLEASE BE CERTAIN TO KEEP THEM AWAY FROM ANIMALS AND CHILDREN.
