Our grills are tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.58a-1999*CGA 1.6a-M99 Standard for Outdoor Gas Cooking

this grill should be installed in compliance with the National Fuel Code No. Z223.1-1995 and the National Electrical

• 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.
