Yellow. 
2.    When you light the grill, sound is significantly different than 
normal. 
3. The Grill does not reach temperature.

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE/TROUBLESHOOTING 
CHECKLIST 
Grill won't light when the igniter button is depressed
 
Replace Battery 
Ensure electrode is attached to igniter module and also to the end of 
the electrode behind the burners.    DO NOT TURN THE CONTROL 
VALVE "ON" AT THIS STAGE.    
Depress the igniter button and 
watch the igniter tip. You should see a spark jump from the tip of the 
igniter when the button is pressed.    If there is no spark, clean the 
igniter tip and free from debris. Readjust for proper gap.     
 
If there is a spark, is there gas supplied to the unit and is the link 
purged of air?   
Can you match light the burner?   
Check the orifice for blockage 
 
Burner flame 
is 
yellow or orange, or is there the odor of gas. 
Turn the burner off   
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. 
Is the grill in a dusty area? 
Low heat - with the con rol 
knob 
set to  he "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? 
 
CARE OF STAINLESS STEEL 
 
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.     
 
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. 
 
2. For more tenacious deposits, including oil, grease and water-borne 
deposits, PGS has a wonderful spray cleaner and also cleaning “wipes”.   
Please see your local dealer. 
 
3. Harsh abrasives and scouring materials should not be used for 
cleaning stainless steel as they will leave scratch marks in the surface 
and damage the appearance of the Grill. Likewise do not use wire 
brushes, scrapers or contaminated scouring pads. 
 
4. Your PGS Grill has a directional polished grain, any cleaning with 
abrasives should be carried out along this grain and not across it 
 
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. 
 
 
RUST MARKS 
When this type of staining occurs it is unlikely that rusting of the 
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. 
 
These brown marks are only superficial stains, which will not harm the 
Grill; they should be removable using a soft damp cloth and a quality 
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. 
 
PITTING 
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: 
 
Bleaches: 
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. 
 
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. 
 
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.   
 
MASONRY ENCLOSED GRILL 
PGS grills are easily installed in Masonry enclosures.    No additional 
supports “frames” are necessary.    We have included a natural gas 
regulator set at 5 1/2” w.c. which must be installed for proper grill 
performance.    Please have masonry contractor examine grill before 
building enclosure to ensure proper clearance for the natural gas 
regulator and gas connection from building material.    A “carve out” 
of the masonry material may be necessary to accommodate regulator 
combination shown on page 10.     
 
ENCLOSURE MUST BE CONSTRUCTED ON A
