BUBBLES APPEAR THERE IS A LEAK, TURN OFF
GAS, TIGHTEN FITTINGS AND REPEAT THIS
CHECK.
PLEASE NOTE!!! ABOVE PROCEDURE IN IMPERATIVE
FOR SAFE OPERATION ON YOUR GRILL.
LIGHTING YOUR GRILL
12
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.
