PGS is most concerned about the safe use of our product. The following two pages are a summarization of the safety  
tips found throughout this manual. Please take the time to review them, as they are critical in the enjoyable use of  
your grill. Improper assembly, neglect, or insufficient care of your PGS gas grill may result in serious bodily injury  
and/or property damage.  
Our grills are tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.58a-1999*CGA 1.6a-M99 Standard for Outdoor Gas Cooking  
Appliances. Check your local building codes for the proper methods of installation. In the absence of local codes,  
this grill should be installed in compliance with the National Fuel Code No. Z223.1-1995 and the National Electrical  
Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1995. GAS GRILLS ARE NOT AGA DESIGN CERTIFIED OR RECOMMENDED FOR  
USE ON RECREATIONAL VEHICLES, PORTABLE TRAILERS, BOATS/HOUSE BOATS, OR ANY OTHER  
MOVING INSTALLATION  
California Proposition 65 Warning: The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by-products which are on the  
list of substances and are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law  
requires that businesses warn consumers of potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these  
substances, always operate this gas grill according to the use and care instructions found in this manual. Be certain  
to provide adequate ventilation when cooking.  
WARNING: Do not try to light this appliance without first reading: the "LIGHTING YOUR GRILL" section of this  
manual found on page 21.  
Do not modify original equipment. Your grill has been designed and engineered to operate safely as outlined in  
this manual. Only replace components with genuine PGS replacement parts, which are available from your local  
dealer and/or distributor. Use of non-genuine parts may result in inferior performance and/or safety hazards and will  
void the warranty.  
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is in operation. We suggest placement  
of your grill well away from areas where children play. Do not store items that may interest children in or around the  
grill, in the cart, or in the masonry enclosure. Never allow children to crawl or play inside a masonry enclosure.  
NEVER STORE ADDITIONAL OR EMPTY PROPANE CYLINDERS IN GRILL CABINET OR AROUND THE  
GRILL. DO NOT STORE A PROPANE CYLINDER INDOORS OR ON ITS SIDE. NEVER ALLOW A PROPANE  
CYLINDER TO BE OVERFILLED. Never use a dented, rusty or damaged propane cylinder. Never replace the safety  
coupler fittings on the grill with any other connections.  
Never store pool chemicals or other flammable materials in any cabinet below or near the grill. Never allow loose  
clothing, potholders, synthetic materials, or other flammable materials to come in contact with the grill and/or its parts.  
Flammable materials could ignite and cause personal injury and/or property damage.  
Never move your gas grill when operating. Never move grill when HOT. Never cover grill when HOT.  
Do not heat up unopened food containers on the grill as a buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst.  
The LP cylinder that you use with your grill should be equipped with an overfill protection device (OPD). If you  
use a tank exchange system, be sure to exchange this tank for another tank with the same safety system.  
Use an insulated glove when opening and operating the grill. Open grill lid slowly to allow heat and smoke to  
escape before fully opening.

Never lean over hot grill surface or look directly into grill when attempting to light. The grill hood must be opened  
fully when lighting. Be sure that all family members are aware of safe lighting and operating procedures for the grill.  
If a professional installer or dealer installs the grill, be sure that he shows you where your gas supply shut off is  
located. All gas lines must have a shut off that is readily and easily accessible. If you smell gas, check for gas leaks  
immediately. Check only with a soap and water solution. Never check for gas leaks with an open flame.  
Never use charcoal, volcanic rock, wood chip materials, or non-PGS briquettes in your grill.  
Keep the optional rotisserie motor and electrical supply cord away from heated casting, cooking grids, other hot  
parts or water. Store rotisserie motor and parts in a dry place when not is use.  
Never use grill in a windy area and never use the grill during an extremely windy day. Climatic conditions will  
impact the performance of the grill. In consistently windy conditions, we suggest installing a suitable windbreak.  
Always adhere to the required clearances from combustibles. THE GRILL IS DESIGNED FOR USE OUTDOORS  
ONLY; never operate in garage, buildings, shed, breezeways or other enclosed areas  
Store your grill in a well-vented area. Remove the LP cylinder, if equipped with one, and store it outdoors in a  
well-ventilated area away from heat and where children may possibly tamper with it.  
When using the optional side burner kit, use pots that have flat bottoms and are large enough to cover the entire  
burner. Adjust the flame so that it only heats the bottom of the pot or pan to avoid the possible lighting of clothing.  
Position handle in a way that it does not conflict with the opening and closing of grill lid. You cannot operate your side  
burner kit and rotisserie motor simultaneously.  
Grease is extremely flammable. Let hot grease cool down before attempting to handle or dispose. Please clean  
out your grease tray or grease can on a regular basis.  
Never cover cooking grid with a material that will trap heat beneath cooking grids, such as large pans or aluminum  
foil. Heat reflected below may cause damage to rock grates, burners, gas valve assembly and possibly to gas train.  
You need only to “Pre-Heat” your grill five to seven minutes before cooking. You do not need to “Burn-Off” your gas  
grill for extended times after use.  
Spiders and other small insects can build nests or webs in the burners of your PGS grill, which will cause gas to  
flow out from the front of the burner tubes. This can cause a fire to burn behind your control panel, thereby damaging  
your grill and makes the grill unsafe to operate. Inspect your grill twice a year or immediately when symptoms  
appear. See "FLASHBACK" on page 22.  
Please refer to specific sections of this manual (see Table of Contents) if you have questions regarding different  
types of fuels, lighting, or trouble-shooting. If you have questions that are not answered in this manual, please call  
your local dealer.  
The grill must be located no closer than 30" from any combustible surface above, behind or to the sides. The grill  
should not be located under overhead-unprotected combustible materials.  
Keep the area around the grill clear of combustible materials, flammable vapors or liquids such as gasoline.  
The grill surfaces become very hot during use. Keep children and pets away. Use hot pads or oven mitts.

Both natural gas (NG) and propane gas (LP) have a  
long history of safe use when simple rules are  
followed. If not, there is danger of fire or explosion.  
Check Local Codes. Consult your local LP dealer or  
Natural Gas company listed in your local directory for  
recommended installation procedures and regulations.  
In the absence of local codes, installation must  
conform with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI  
Z21.58a-1999*CGA 1.62-M99.  
The safety system detailed above has been  
incorporated into your PGS gas grill to provide you and  
your family the maximum in safety when operating the  
grill.  
Never connect an unregulated propane gas cylinder or  
unregulated natural gas to your gas grill (Note: most  
homes equipped with natural gas have a regulator  
near the gas meter.  
DO NOT CONNECT THE GRILL TO A PROPANE GAS  
CYLINDER GREATER THAN 20 LB. CAPACITY.  
Check with your LP gas utility or your PGS dealer for a  
and Inlet Connections, ANSI/CGA-V-1, or Connection  
No. 600 in the Compressed Gas Association’s Limited  
Standard Cylinder Valve Outlet Connection for  
Propane Small Valve Series or a combination LP-gas  
cylinder valve and quick-disconnect assembly  
complying with 1.5.5-c and a safety relief device  
making a direct connection with the vapor space of the  
cylinder.  
Be certain tank is equipped with an overfill  
protection device.  
Do not modify hose or LP fittings. Contact a local  
dealer or distributor if tank, hose or fittings need  
replacement.  
If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear,  
or the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the  
grill being operated. Please see your local PGS  
dealer/distributor or call PGS for an exact  
replacement.  
Store propane tank outdoors in a cool, well-  
ventilated area. Never store extra tanks in, on, or  
around your grill.  
Turn off tank when not in use.  
Transport tanks upright ONLY.  
Never allow a tank to be overfilled. 100% full tank  
holds only 4.5 gallons of propane.  
The cylinder supply system must be arranged for  
vapor withdrawal and must include a collar to protect  
the cylinder valve.  
**Special Note** All new tanks are filled with air, not  
propane. Air must be purged before the tank is filled.  
When purchasing an LP gas tank, be certain it meets  
all standards, and allow only a qualified LP-gas dealer  
to fill the propane gas cylinder  
Inspect your grill cabinet often to ensure that  
ventilation openings in sides and back of pedestal  
are free from debris and have proper air  
circulation.  
Never paint LP cylinder a dark color. This may  
cause OVERHEATING. Do not apply heat directly  
to tank.  
LP Gas is stored under high pressure and must be  
handled with care. Do not handle a tank roughly.  
You must use the "TYPE II" fill adapter that was  
provided with your propane grill. If unable to  
locate, see your local dealer, distributor or PGS.  
Be sure your LP gas dealer checks the cylinder  
with a soapy solution for leaks after filling.  
Do not turn gas valve on unless connection  
between regulator and coupler is complete.  
All LP-gas cylinders used with this grill shall be  
approximately 12" in diameter and about 18" in height.  
The maximum fuel capacity must be 20 lbs. of propane  
(47.7 lbs. nominal water capacity or 4.5 gallons). DO  
NOT connect your grill to a propane gas cylinder that  
exceeds this capacity.  
All propane-gas cylinders used with the grill must be  
constructed and marked in accordance with the  
specifications for propane-gas cylinders of the U.S.  
Department of Transportation (DOT). In Canada, gas  
cylinders must meet CTC specs. Federal Law  
requires any tank used for a gas grill must include an  
overfill protection device.  
Storage of your gas grill indoors is permissible only  
if the cylinder is disconnected, removed from grill  
and cylinder stored outdoors.  
All refillable propane-gas cylinders used with the gas  
grill must be inspected at every filling and must be re-  
qualified by a licensed LP-gas cylinder filler in  
accordance with DOT (US) or CTC (Canadian)  
requirements for LP-cylinders.  
.
The cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve  
terminating in an LP-gas supply cylinder, valve outlet  
specified, as applicable, for Connection No. 510 in the  
Standard for Compressed Gas Cylinder Valve Outlet

individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the  
gas supply piping system during any pressure testing  
of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig  
(3.5kPa).  
HINGE PINS AND COTTER PINS: Hinge pin goes  
through lower and upper casting with cotter pins  
permanently holding.  
GASKET: Insulator between pedestal and base.  
The grill must be isolated from the gas by closing its

At the end of each valve there is a tiny gas opening  
known as an orifice. Gas exits the orifice and enters  
the venturis where it mixes with air. The proper  
mixture of gas and air produces a clean blue flame  
with slight yellow tips from the burner.  
Proper  
orifice engagement should be 1/4" to 3/8" into the  
venturis.

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 instant use, once or twice a year you  
should perform basic maintenance to keep your grill in  
top operating condition.  
Visually verify that the burner lights and the flame  
is 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.  
1. After removing cooking grids, ceramic rock and  
rock grates, remove your burner assembly by first  
carefully disconnecting the lead wire from your ignitor  
module. Gently pull the burner forward to release the  
spring clip, then pull the burner assembly forward and  
up. Cover the valve orifices with a small piece of  
aluminum foil to keep out dirt. Brush both sides and  
the bottom of the burner with a stiff wire brush. Any  
clogged flame holes may be opened using a thin wire.  
Use a venturi brush (or bottlebrush), pipe cleaner or  
long flexible wire to clean out the venturis. Since the  
grill housing is heavy rust-free cast aluminum, you are  
only trying to remove built up grease and debris.  
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. On the right hand side of the  
lower grill casting, near the bottom, there is a match  
lighting hole (see Fig. 19). Raise the grill lid. Light a  
long match (or other ignitor) and turn the RIGHT hand  
control knob to HI. Insert the lit match (or ignitor) into  
the hole to the end of the burner and light the grill.  
Under some adverse wind conditions it may be  
necessary to turn the grill or to light the burner via a  
vent opening under the grill head.  
2. DO NOT DAMAGE THE CERAMIC PROBE OR  
COLLECTOR BOX.

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

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.  
Figure 20 a  
Spider webs inside venturi  
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.  
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.

NOTE: Replace battery when sparks noticeably slows

you are not going to use your grill for 30 days or more,  
remove battery.  
When you cook fatty foods over an open flame, you  
can expect flare-ups. Natural juices falling on the hot  
ceramic rock results in flame and smoke that give  
foods cooked on your grill that delicious outdoor flavor  
and appearance. Expect and encourage a  
MODERATE amount of flare-up. We suggest that you  
trim off excess fat before cooking. Excessive flare-ups  
occur when cooking extra fatty foods, or if cooking  
temperatures are too high. To control flare-ups:  
Model K-40 with the "Ultima" burner, the electrode is  
attached pre-set at the factory and should not require  
adjustment. In the model K-30 the electrode, inside  
the collector box, is also adjusted and checked at the  
factory for optimum spark. The tip is 1/8" from the  
inside surface of the collector box. In the event that  
the ceramic insulator should crack and need  
replacement, the collector box is easily removed by  
removing the large nut holding it to the bottom grill  
casting. The grill head must be removed from the  
pedestal support to replace the collector box (electrode  
and collector box are one unit).  
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 can 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).  
Check the new part for proper spacing of the electrode  
end before installing. Since the feed-through fixture is  
threaded its full length, loosening and tightening two  
jam nuts will move the electrode tip closer or farther  
away from the collector box surface. For best spark,  
set at 1/8" (see Fig. 21 & 22).

1. Before using your grill for the first time, please light  
and turn both burners on HI heat for ten to fifteen  
minutes. This will burn off any oils that are on new  
surfaces. Before grilling, we suggest putting a light  
coat of vegetable oil on your cooking grids. This  
should be done before you turn on your grill. A spray  
on oil, safflower or similar oil will work just fine.  
2. Burning unit after each use is not required or  
recommended. Extended burning may cause  
premature wear on components or may damage your  
unit if left unattended. Pre-heating grill 5-7 minutes  
before each use will burn off most residue.  
After the cooking grid has cooled, we recommend that  
you lightly rub the cooking grid with a nylon cleaning  
pad or similar material to remove any baked on foods.  
Please remember to lightly oil the cooking grid with a  
spray on oil, vegetable or safflower oil before using the  
next time.  
If your grids have a lot of food on them, you may want  
to put them in a plastic bag with a cup of ammonia and  
leave them in the sun for a day... be sure to wash  
them thoroughly before using.

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:  
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. If you have any additional questions in this  
area, you should contact your local natural gas or  
propane utility or contact your authorized PGS dealer  
or distributor.  
Carefully remove rock grates, cooking grids, and rock  
from bottom casting. Burner adjustments can be best  
performed in low light and in  
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.  
YELLOW TIPPING  
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:  
Properly adjusted burner  
NORMAL HARD FLAMES  
Slightly out of adjustment burner  
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 loosen the air shutter can be  
rotated to allow more or less air.  
YELLOW FLAMES  
3. If the flame is extremely yellow this indicates the  
burner is getting insufficient air. Turn the air mixer to  
Extremely out of adjustment burner
