GRILL STORAGE
SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners if grill is not used for an extended period. These nests can
cause fires inside the burner tube or beneath the grill. This is a very dangerous condition. When
using grill
after a period of non-use, please observe grill for at least one minute after lighting. Normally if a
spider
fire occurs, you will hear a significantly different sound than the normal operation and may see flame
coming out the front of the control panel. TURN OFF GRILL IMMEDIATELY at tank, clean out
burners
and burner orifices. Use a PGS grill cover when grill is stored for an extended period.
WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS
Inspect the burners at least once a month or immediately if any of the following conditions occur:
1) Yellow flame with burning smell.
2) Temperature won’t rise.
3) Heats unevenly.
4) Burners make “popping” or “roaring” noises.
GRILL STORAGE:
1) Clean the grill.
2) Store the grill in a well-ventilated, dry outdoor area. Keep out of the reach of children when LP
tank is connected to the grill.
3) Store the grill in dry indoors ONLY after the LP tank is turned off and removed. The LP tank
must be stored outdoors, out of the reach of children. NEVER store the tank in a building, garage
or any other enclosed area.
4) Put on the optional vinyl cover.(Available separately)
WIND AND YOUR GRILL
PROPER POSITIONING OF YOUR GRILL IS IMPERATIVE
. Wind can greatly effect the
performance of your grill. In breezy areas, or at windy times of the day, grill should always
be facing perpendicular to the wind so that wind will hit the side of the grill NOT the front
or rear. Failure to do so, may result in burner over-heating the control panel and
damaging components.
