cooking temperatures are too high. To control flare-
ups:
1. Turn your control knob to a lower heat setting.
2. Move the meat to another part of the grill, if
possible. With a dual burner, you can cook on one
side and move food, as necessary to the unlighted
side or lower heat setting.
3. Cook with the lid open to reduce heat inside of
grill head. Periodically flip rock so that it will self clean
residual grease build-up.
4. If you need to immediately control any excessive
flare-up, spray the flame with water or throw a small
amount of baking soda directly on briquettes (avoid
baking soda on food).

GREASE CUP CLEAN OUT
We recommend periodic inspection and clean out of
the grease cup with your PGS gas grill.
FLAME ADJUSTMENT TIPS
Your PGS burner has been designed to operate
efficiently under widely varying operating conditions
and is adjusted at the factory for proper operation so
no adjustments should be required. Occasionally,
vibration during transport or variations in local fuels
and gas pressure, altitude, or other external
conditions might require minor burner adjustments.
Sometimes your burner will burn differently if your
propane cylinder has been recently filled or it is near
empty. Sometimes air will need to be purged from
your natural gas line.
A qualified technician should make burner
adjustments at the time of installation. Extreme care
should be exercised if adjustments are required after
installation. If you need to inspect and adjust burners
while unit is operating:
Carefully remove rock grates, cooking grids, and rock
from bottom casting. Burner adjustments can be best
performed in low light and in non-windy conditions
so you can properly view burner operation and make
proper flame adjustments. Turn gas supply on and
light grill as usual.
Inspect the burner when it is on low. Flames should
be mostly blue and stable. The flame tips will be
yellow at the ends and this is normal. When you re-
install the rock grates the burner flames impinging on
the rock grates will also cause the flame pattern to
appear more yellow, this is normal and does not in
any way affect the performance of your grill. A burner
in an outdoor appliance operates in a different
environment than an indoor appliance burner or flame
and as a result will visually look different.
If you see the flames lifting from the burner, or only
parts of the burner are burning, or if you hear
excessive noise from the burner, please check the
following: valve/orifice engagement in the venturis,
that the burner is level in the casting, and also check
burner tubes to be certain they are not obstructed with
debris or spider webs. These conditions will more
often be the case than the burner being out of
adjustment. If you feel that you do need to adjust the
burners please follow directions below when burners
are
cool to the touch:
1. Disconnect ignition wire at module. Disengage
your burner by unclipping it from the rear and lifting
forward and up.
2. At the end of each of the burner venturis you will
see an air mixer secured by a small setscrew.
When the screw is loosened the air shutter can be
rotated to allow more or less air.
3. If the flame is extremely yellow this indicates the
burner is getting insufficient air. Turn the air mixer to
the open position to allow more air to the burner.
Tighten screw to insure mixer stays in this position.
4. If the flame is noisy and tends to lift away from the
burner tube there is too much air being fed to the
burner. Turn the air mixer to reduce the opening and
air volume to the burner. Tighten screw to insure air
mixture does not move.
5. Reinstall burner and light as normal and inspect
flame. If burner requires additional adjustment repeat
above procedure. There is not a significant degree of
adjustment required to these burners.
Differences in altitude, operating conditions, weather
conditions; gas pressures, odorants and stabilizers
used in both natural gas and propane will often cause
burners to burn differently. As long as you are getting
good ignition, even cooking performance, and the
burner flame is blue with yellow tips and operating
consistently, you should not have to adjust the
burners.
