VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY TIPS AND WARNINGS CONTINUED
Never move your gas grill when operating. Never move grill when HOT.
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 of grill.
If a professional installer or a dealer installs 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.
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, if at all possible.
Always adhere to the required clearances from combustibles. THE GRILL IS DESIGNED
FOR USE OUTDOORS ONLY; never operate grill in garage, buildings, shed, breezeways or
other enclosed areas.
Store your grill in a well-vented area with gas supply OFF. If grill is stored INDOORS, LP cylinder MUST
be removed, 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
entire burner. Adjust the flame so that it only heats the bottom of the pot or pan to avoid the possible

children and pets away. Use hot pads or oven mitts.
GAS
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 to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z233.1.
NEVER USE NATURAL GAS IN A UNIT
DESIGNED FOR LIQUID PROPANE OR
THE REVERSE. IF YOU WISH TO CONVERT
YOUR GRILL FROM ONE TYPE OF GAS TO
THE OTHER, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL
DEALER, DISTRIBUTOR, OR AEI CORP.
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).
SAFETY INFORMATION OF PROPANE MODELS
Your PGS grill is designed to operate on propane gas regulated at a
gas pressure of 11" water column (W.C.) (2.7kPa). If you are
hooking your grill into “System LP” which fuels your home, please be
certain that you are at this pressure.
Operating your grill at pressure higher
or lower than recommended may damage
the grill or result in a hazard or poor
performance.
A regulator adjusted to this pressure must be installed in the gas
supply line before the grill is connected to the propane source. PGS
propane gas grills include a 11” W.C. regulator and a “TYPE I
“ Cylinder Connection Device. This system complies with the
specifications and requirements of ANSI Z21.58b standards. This
system can only be used with a QCC Type I tank. Our hoses include
an excess flow safety system that will stop the flow of gas to your grill
in the event of leaking gas or a damaged hose.
7
PLEASE NOTE. In the event that you
inadvertently have the valves of your grill
turned to the “ON” position, and then open
the valve on top of your tank, the excess flow
device will activate and shut off the flow of
gas. If this should occur, turn the valves to
the “OFF” position on your grill head then the
valve on the tank “OFF”. Wait five minutes
before attempting to light. Always turn on the valve at the
top of your tank and then the valves to your grill head to the
“ON” position. 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.
PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE LP HOSE OR USE WITH A TANK
LARGER THAN 20 LBS. OR TO A TANK EQUIPPED WITH
ANYTHING OTHER THAN A QCCI FITTING. TURN VALVE
THAT IS LOCATED AT THE TOP OF TANK TO “OFF” WHEN
GRILL IS NOT IN USE.
PROPANE CYLINDER FILLING & HANDLING
TIPS
When the hose and regulator are disconnected from the tank, the
flow of gas is safely shut off. You must still shut off the main tank
valve located at the top of the tank when transporting your tank or
when the unit is not in use.
Do not modify hose or LP fittings. Contact 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 or
call the factory 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% empty tanks
hold only 4.5 gallons of propane.
Inspect your grill cabinet often to ensure that
ventilation openings in sides and back of cart 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.
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 tank is complete.
Storage of your gas grill indoors is permissible only if
the cylinder is disconnected, removed from grill and
cylinder stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area away

25249.6
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:
Read this Manual carefully and completely before using your
grill to reduce the risk of fire, burn hazard or other injury.
Begin by ensuring proper assembly. Do not repair or replace any 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 contact with or too close
to any grate, burner or hot surface until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite
and result in personal injury.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the grill bottom (it may be used to line
Grease Tray). This can severely upset combustion airflow or trap
excessive heat in the control area. The result of this can be melted
knobs, igniters and increased chance of personal injury.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area
where the grill is being used. Never allow them to sit,
stand or play on or around the grill at any time. Do not
store items of interest to children around or below the
grill.
Do not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of pressure may
cause the container to burst. Use a covered hand when opening the
grill lid. Never lean over an open grill. When lighting a burner, always
pay close attention to what you are doing. Be certain you are depressing
the igniter button. When using the grill: do not touch the grilling grids,
burner, casing or immediate surrounding area as these areas become
extremely hot and could cause burns.
For proper lighting and performance of the burner, keep the ports clean.
The burner will only operate in one position and must be mounted
correctly for safe operation. Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam
burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while it is hot.
Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot
surface.
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.
DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL UNDER UNPROTECTED
COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION. Use only in well ventilated areas.
Do not use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways or any enclosed
areas. Keep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible
materials, trash, or combustible fluids and vapors such as gasoline or
charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
If the unit is stored indoors ensure that it is cool. The propane cylinder
must be unhooked and stored outside in a well- ventilated area, out of
reach of children. 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. Position grill
so that prevailing breeze is hitting side of grill, not front or back.
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 lot of
smoke. Grill should be placed on a sturdy, level surface. In breezy
conditions face side of grill towards prevailing direction. Do not face
front or rear of grill in direction of breeze as wind will disrupt burners
and possibly overheat knobs and ignition system.
Please note wind entering back of grill may push burner flames
forward causing control knobs to get hot. If you have a
prevailing breeze, place grill with side of grill facing breeze
direction. If building into a masonry island, have side of
island facing breeze not front or back of island.
CLEARANCE
To Non-Combustible Construction
A minimum of 6” clearance from the back of the
grill to non-combustible construction is required to
insure hood opens fully.
To Combustible Construction
A minimum clearance of 30" between the grill and any
combustible materials is required. This includes all sides with
no combustible material above as the grill and all surfaces
produce heat.

ORIFICE ENGAGEMENT
At the end of each valve there is a tiny gas opening known as an orifice.
Gas exits the orifice and enters a venturi where it mixes with air. The
proper mixture of gas and air produces a clean blue flame with slight
yellow tips at the burner. BE CERTAIN THAT ORIFICES ARE
FULLY ENGAGED INTO THE BURNER VENTURI TUBES AS
PICTURED BELOW. Proper orifice engagement should be 1/4" to
3/8" into the venturi's. Failure to insure this connection may cause fire
and result in serious damage to your grill.
