SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Insect Warning. Spiders and insects can nest in the burner of this
and any other grill, and cause the gas to flow from the front of the
burner. This is a very dangerous condition, which can cause a fire to
occur behind the valve assembly, thereby damaging the grill and
making it unsafe to operate.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
1. Shut off gas to the appliance.
2. Extinguish any open flames.
3. Open lid.
4. If odor continues, immediately call your gas supplier.
Do not operate the grill under unprotected combustible construction.
Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings, garages,

Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located
in a consistently windy area (oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.) a wind-
break will be required. Always adhere to the specified clearance.
SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
When properly cared for, your grill will give safe, reliable service for
many years. However, extreme care must be used since the grill
produces intense heat, which can increase accident potential. When
using this appliance, basic safety practices must be followed, including
the following:
LOCATION
When determining a suitable location, take into account concerns such
as exposure to wind, and proximity to traffic paths. Locate the grill
only in a well-ventilated area. Never locate the grill in a building,
garage, breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas with out an
approved ventilation system. During heavy use, the grill will produce a

part of the grill unless specifically recommended in this manual. All
other service should be referred to a qualified technician. For
personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or sleeves
should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic
fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.
Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come in

To Combustible Construction
A minimum clearance of 30" between the grill and any

use and care instructions. If you purchased an optional Side

Do not use aluminum foil to line the grilling grids or grill bottom. This

THIS SHOULD BE DONE ROUTINELY AFTER THE GRILL HAS SET IDLE
FOR EXTENDED PERIODS. Your PGS grill has fine mesh brass

Please DO NOT damage or remove these screens when you clean your
burners.
SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this or any other grill,
and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a very
dangerous condition, which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve
panel, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate.

WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS
You should inspect the burners at least twice a year or immediately if
any of the following conditions occur:

Yellow.
4. Your PGS Grill has a directional polished grain, any cleaning with
abrasives should be carried out along this grain and not across it
2.
When you light the grill, sound is significantly different than
normal.
3. The Grill does not reach temperature.
4. The Grill heats unevenly.
5. The burners make popping noises.
5. If required, dry the Grill after use with a soft dry cloth or towel.
If the preceding guidelines are adhered to, your PGS Stainless Steel
Grill should offer excellent life and should live up to its reputation of
being "stainless".
Neglect of this practice, however, can lead to
deterioration of the surface and, in some extreme cases, corrosion of
the steel itself. The two most common types of corrosion that may be
encountered, particularly on stainless steel, are rust marks and pitting
of the surface.
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE/TROUBLESHOOTING
CHECKLIST
RUST MARKS

stainless steel itself causes the marks.
Similar marks can be found
with both porcelain and plastic sinks. The rust marks are more likely to
be the result of small particles of "ordinary "steel which have become
attached to the surface; these have subsequently rusted in the damp
environment. The most common source of such particles is from
"wire-wool" scouring pads, but contamination may also occur from
carbon steel utensils and cast iron water supply pipes.

stainless cleaner.
Occasionally, it may be necessary to resort to a
proprietary stainless steel cleanser, to return the surface
of the Grill to its original condition. To avoid re-occurrence of any
"rust-staining" it is essential that the source of the contamination be
eliminated.
Burner flame is yellow or orange, or is there the odor of gas.
Turn the burner off
PITTING
Check the burner inlet for obstructions (spiders, etc).
Adjust the air shutter rings to allow more or less gas found at the end
of the burner venturi.
Another form of corrosion, which occasionally occurs in stainless steel,
is pitting of the surface. The reason for this corrosive attack can
usually be attributed to certain household products. for example:
Is the grill in a dusty area?
Bleaches:
Low heat - with the control knob set to the "HI" position.
Does the orifice or burner need cleaning?
Is the gas supply, or gas pressure low?
Is the grill being preheated for 3 minutes?
Is there L.P. gas in the tank?
Most common domestic bleaches & sterilizing solutions contain
chlorine in the form of sodium hypochlorite.
If used in concentrated
form, bleaches can attack the stainless steel, causing pitting of the
surface. They should always be used to the strengths prescribed by
the manufacturer and should be thoroughly rinsed off with clean water
immediately after use.
CARE OF STAINLESS STEEL
Foodstuffs;
In general stainless steel is fully resistant to all foodstuffs in common
use. Only in isolated cases, such as when concentrated salt and
vinegar mixtures are allowed to remain in contact with the steel for
along period, can any surface marking result.
Stainless Steel is widely used for catering and residential kitchen
equipment because of its strength, its ability to resist corrosion and its
ease of cleaning. In fact, stainless steel ranks alongside glass and new
china in terms of "ease of cleaning" and in percentage removal of
bacteria during washing up. As a result of these virtues, the metal is
often taken for granted and it is assumed that no problems will arise
during its usage. However, some care is required to ensure that the
stainless steel can live up to this reputation.
COOKING GRIDS
Routine cleaning of the grill grids is best accomplished by scrubbing
the grids with a brass or stainless steel brush immediately before and
after cooking, while the grill is hot. Wear a barbeque mitt to protect
your hand from the heat while cleaning. When needed, remove the
grids from the grill and scrub with a soap solution or oven cleaner.
Rinse thoroughly, and allow the grids to dry completely before
reinstalling onto grill.
DAY-TO-DAY CARE
To maintain the original appearance of your PGS, a regular cleaning
routine should be carried out using the following guidelines:
1. After use, wipe the Grill with a soft, damp, soapy cloth and rinse
with clean water, preferably warm/ hot water. This should remove
most substances encountered during the grilling process.

and delicate pieces of seafood can be cooked on the "Vari Grids" or on

by feeling the meat. Oily fish should be grilled with a minimum of

minimized by using a basting sauce that contains oil, plus seasonings
and wine or lemon juice as required to add moisture. Experiment a
