GAS, TIGHTEN FITTINGS AND REPEAT THIS

CHECK.

PLEASE NOTE!!! ABOVE PROCEDURE IN IMPERATIVE FOR SAFE OPERATION ON YOUR GRILL.

LIGHTING YOUR GRILL

ALWAYS OPEN THE LID COMPLETELY BEFORE LIGHTING THE BURNER. This is to avoid trapping gas fumes, which could explode. Do not stand with your head over the grill when lighting the burner.

• Open the lid. Examine the interior to be sure it appears normal.

• Be sure all control knobs are in the OFF position. Any control knob may be used when lighting your PGS gas grill.

•Turn gas ON at tank or supply.

•Turn any lower burner knob to Medium and gently push the

black button on control panel ignitor module. You should hear the ignitor clicking and one of the burners should be lit within four seconds. Turn the other control knob(s) on HI and the other burner(s) will cross light automatically.

•Visually verify that burner lights and the flame are acceptable. Close the grill top and let the ceramic rocks get hot.

Pre-heat the grill on HI with the lid down for five to seven

minutes. This will ensure even heat and allow cooking at MEDIUM, for the most part.

WE STRONGLY SUGGEST OBSERVING GRILL FOR ONE MINUTE AFTER LIGHTING YOUR GRILL. SMALL LEAKS AND OR SPIDER FIRES CAN EASILY BE REMEDIED IF CAUGHT IMMEDIATELY.

Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting.

If the burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn knob to "OFF" and wait 5 minutes before trying again, to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate. If the burner will not light after several attempts, then it can be match lit.

IF THE BURNER FAILS TO LIGHT

Immediately turn controls OFF to prevent gas build-up. Wait five minutes for gas to clear and try the above procedure again. If the burner does not light with the electronic ignition, light the burner with a match or other hand held ignitor. DO NOT

TOSS A LIT MATCH INTO THE UNIT AND TURN

THE GAS ON!

At the right hand side of the lower grill housing; near the top of the cooking grid, there is a match lighting port. Raise the grill lid. Light a match (or other ignitor) and turn the LOWER BURNER RIGHT hand control knob to HI. Hold the lit match (or ignitor) just above the ignition port and light the grill, you should hear the grill ignite within five seconds.

IF THE GRILL STILL FAILS TO LIGHT, CHECK THE GAS SUPPLY. YOU COULD BE OUT OF LP GAS OR THE MAIN GAS SUPPLY FOR NATURAL GAS MAY HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF.

Manual Lighting of Grill

NOTE: If grill is hot, manual lighting tube may not work. Allow grill to fully cool before relighting.

ELECTRODE ADJUSTMENT

The electrode and ground wire is fixed and checked at the factory for optimum spark. The tip from the electrode is 1/8" away from the grounding wire. Spark may get “hotter” by SLIGHTLY increasing or decreasing the distance between these two wires. Please note, you should not increase the distance between these two wires to more that 3/8”. In the event that this spacing cannot be corrected or the ceramic insulator is cracked and needs replacement, the entire assembly is easily changed by removing the grease tray, remove the screw and nut holding assembly, unplugging from ignition module and reinstalling new.

NOTE GAP ON ELECTRODE AND GROUND WIRE

GREASE TRAY LINING & CLEAN OUT

Before using grill, we suggest you LINE YOUR GREASE TRAY WITH HEAVY-DUTY ALUMINUM FOIL. We also recommend periodic inspection and clean out of the grease tray provided with your PGS gas grill. You will find this very easy. The foil should be replaced at least every ten grill uses or more often if you are cooking fatty meats.

If you have left your grill out in rain without covering, grease tray may accumulate water. Please empty prior to use.

Please note that cooking especially juicy meats may require replacement of foil more often. Regular replacement will add life to grease tray. Foil should be cool to the touch before replacement.

PERIODIC CLEANING

Knowing how to remove and replace the burner allows you to easily and thoroughly clean your grill. Even though "Burning Off" the grill after every cookout will keep it ready for use, once a year you should perform basic maintenance to keep it in top operating condition.

BE SURE THAT YOUR GAS SUPPLY IS OFF AND THAT YOUR FEEDLINE IS BLED OF ANY GAS.

Remove your burner assembly by first removing cooking grids and then rock grates with rock on them, then gently pull up on the back of the burner assembly.

Remove the burner/venturi assembly; cover the valve orifices with a small piece of aluminum foil to keep out dirt. Brush both sides and bottom of the inside of the burner with a stiff wire brush. Any clogged flame holes may be opened using a thin wire. Use a bottlebrush, pipe cleaner or long flexible wire to clean out the venturis.
