USE AND CARE

`

• NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or near
the grill appliance or in an enclosed area.

• Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% full.

• If the information in the two points above is not
followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious
injury may occur.

• An over filled or improperly stored cylinder is a
hazard due to possible gas release from the
safety relief valve. This could cause an intense
fire with risk of property damage, serious injury
or death.

• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping,
immediately get away from the LP cylinder and
grill appliance and call your fire department.

LP Tank Removal, Transport and Storage

• Turn OFF all control knobs and LP tank valve. Turn coupling
nut counterclockwise by hand only - do not use tools to
disconnect. Lift LP tank wire upward off of LP tank collar,
then lift LP tank up and off of support bracket. Place the dust
cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use.
Only install the type of the dust cap of the cylinder valve outlet
that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or
plugs may result in leakage pf propane.
Failure to use safety cap as directed may result in
serious personal injury and/or property damage.

LP Tank Valve

LP Cylinder

• The LP cylinder used with your grill must meet the
following requirements:

• Use LP cylinders only with these required measurements: 12"
(30.5cm) (diameter) x 18" (45.7 cm) (tall) with 20 lb. (9 kg.)
capacity maximum.

• LP cylinders must be constructed and marked in accordance
with specifications for LP cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) or for Canada, CAN/CSA-B339,
cylinders, spheres and tubes for transportation of dangerous
goods. Transport Canada (TC). See LP cylinder collar for
marking.

• LP cylinder valve must have:

• Type 1 outlet compatible with
regulator or grill.

• Safety relief valve.

• UL listed Overfill Protection Hand Wheel
Device (OPD). This OPD safety
feature is identified by a unique triangular hand wheel. Use
only LP cylinders equipped with this type of valve.

• LP cylinder must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and
include collar to protect LP cylinder valve. Always keep LP
cylinders in upright position during use, transit or storage.

LP cylinder in upright position for vapor withdrawal

LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)

• LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when produced.
For Your Safety, LP gas has been given an odor (similar to
rotten cabbage) so that it can be smelled.

• LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly
when mixed with air.

LP Cylinder Filling

Safety Cap

Retainer Strap

• A disconnected LP tank in storage or being transported must

have a safety cap installed (as shown). Do not store an LP
tank in enclosed spaces such as a carport, garage, porch,
covered patio or other building. Never leave an LP tank inside
a vehicle which may become overheated by the sun.

• Do not store an LP tank in an area where children play.

4

• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.

• LP dealer must purge new cylinder before filling.

• Dealer should NEVER fill LP cylinder more than 80% of LP
cylinder volume. Volume of propane in cylinder will vary by
temperature.

• A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately close LP
cylinder valve and call local LP gas dealer for assistance.

• Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the atmosphere.
This is a hazardous practice.

• To remove gas from LP cylinder, contact an LP dealer or call
a local fire department for assistance. Check the telephone
directory under “Gas Companies” for nearest certified LP
dealers.

LP Tank Exchange

•Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing
your empty LP tank through an exchange service. Use only
those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision
fill, test and certify their cylinders. Exchange your tank only
for an OPD safety feature-equipped tank as described in
the "LP Tank" section of this manual.

•Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in upright position
during use, transit or storage.

•Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE
connecting to grill.

Connecting Regulator To The LP Tank

1. LP tank must be properly secured onto grill. (Refer to
assembly section.)

2. Turn all control knobs to the OFF position.

3. Turn LP tank OFF by turning OPD hand wheel clockwise to
a full stop.

4. Remove the protective cap from LP tank valve. Always use

LP Tank Leak Test
For your safety

•Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is exchanged
or refilled.

•Do not smoke during leak test.

•Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.

•Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area,
away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical
appliances. During leak test, keep grill away from open
flames or sparks.

•Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and water
solution. Brush soapy solution onto areas indicated by arrows
in figure below. Leaks are indicated by growing bubbles.

Safety Relief Valve

thread on outside

Strap and Cap

If “growing” bubbles appear do not use or move the LP
tank. Contact an LP gas supplier or your fire department!

Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to gas
train components (valve/hose/regulator) can result.

Do not insert a POL transport plug
(plastic part with external threads)
into the Type 1 tank valve outlet . It
will defeat the Safety Relief Valve
feature.

5. Hold regulator and insert nipple into LP tank valve.
Hand-tighten the coupling nut, holding regulator in a straight
line with LP tank valve so as not to crossthread the
connection.

Nipple has to be centered

replacement parts at 1-800-4-MY-HOME®.

4. Brush soapy solution onto areas where bubbles are shown
in picture below:

6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise and tighten to a full stop.
The regulator will seal on the back-check feature in the LP
tank valve, resulting in some resistance. An additional
one-half to three-quarters turn is required to complete
the connection. Tighten by hand only – do not use tools.

Never remove threaded
orifice at end of valve.

Hold coupling nut and regulator
as shown for proper connection
to LP tank valve.

If you cannot complete the connection, disconnect regulator
and repeat steps 5 and 6. If you are still unable to complete the
connection, do not use this regulator! Call 1-800-482-0131
for assistance.

• Do not insert any tool or foreign object into the valve
outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage the valve
and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in
explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.

5. If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close LP tank
valve immediately and retighten connections. If leaks
cannot be stopped do not try to repair. Call Sears for
replacement parts at 1-800-4-MY-HOME®.

6. Always close LP tank valve after performing leak test by
turning hand wheel clockwise.

• Outdoor gas appliance is not intended to be installed
in or on a boat.

• Outdoor gas appliance is not intended to be installed
in or on an RV.

Safety Tips

For Safe Use of Your Grill and to Avoid Serious
Injury:

• Do not let children operate or play near grill.

• Keep grill area clear and free from materials that
burn.

• Do not block holes in sides or back of grill.

• Check burner flames regularly.

• Use grill only in well-ventilated space. NEVER use in
enclosed space such as carport, garage, porch,
covered patio, or under an overhead structure of any
kind.

• Do not use charcoal or ceramic briquets in a gas grill.
(Unless briquets are supplied with your grill.)

• Use grill at least 3 ft. from any wall or surface.
Maintain 10 ft. clearance to objects that can catch
fire, or to sources of ignition such as pilot lights on
water heaters, live electrical appliances, etc.

Before opening LP cylinder valve, check the coupling nut
for tightness.
When grill is not in use, turn off all control knobs and LP
cylinder valve.
Never move grill while in operation or still hot.
Use long-handled barbecue utensils and oven mitts to
avoid burns and splatters.
Maximum load for side burner and side shelf is 10 lbs.
The grease tray must be inserted into grill and emptied
after each use. Do not remove grease tray until grill has
completely cooled.
Clean grill often, preferably after each cookout. If a bristle
brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces,
ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior
to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces
while grill is hot.
If you notice grease or other hot material dripping from grill
onto valve, hose or regulator, turn off gas supply at once.
Determine the cause, correct it, then clean and inspect
valve, hose and regulator before continuing. Perform a
leak test.
Keep ventilation openings in cylinder enclosure (grill cart)
free and clear of debris.
Do not store objects or materials inside the grill cart
enclosure that would block the flow of combustion air to the
underside of either the control panel or the firebox bowl.
The regulator may make a humming or whistling noise
during operation. This will not affect safety or use of grill.
If you have a grill problem see the "Troubleshooting
Section".
If the regulator frosts, turn off grill and LP cylinder valve
immediately. This indicates a problem with the cylinder and
it should not be used on any product. Return to supplier!

• Apartment Dwellers:
Check with management to learn the requirements
and fire codes for using an LP gas grill in your
apartment complex. If allowed, use outside on the
ground floor with a three (3) foot clearance from

walls or rails. Do not use on or under balconies.

• NEVER attempt to light burner with lid closed. A
buildup of non-ignited gas inside a closed grill is
hazardous.

• Never operate grill with LP cylinder out of correct
position specified in assembly instructions.

• Always close LP cylinder valve and remove
coupling nut before moving LP cylinder from
specified operation position.

• Putting out grease fires by closing the lid is not
possible. Grills are well ventilated for safety reasons.

• Do not use water on a grease fire. Personal injury may
result. If a grease fire develops, turn knobs and LP
cylinder off.

• Do not leave grill unattended while preheating or
burning off food residue on HI. If grill has not been
regularly cleaned, a grease fire can occur that may
damage the product.

Ignitor Lighting the Grill

1. Open lid during lighting.

2. Open LP cylinder valve or natural gas valve.

3. Push any burner control knob in and turn the knob to the left
to “HI” position. You will hear a clicking sound from all the

burners. Keep pressing the knob until the burner is lit.

4. If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner
control off, wait 5 minutes for gas to clear away, and repeat
step 3.

5. To light other burners, repeat step 3.
NOTE: If ignitor does not work, follow Match Lighting
instructions.

Turn controls and gas source or tank OFF when
not in use.

Burner Flame Check

•Remove cooking grates and heat diffusers. Light burners,
rotate knobs from HIGH to LOW. You should see a smaller
flame in LOW position than seen on HIGH. Perform burner
flame check on sideburner, also. Always check flame prior to
each use.

If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner
control off, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting
procedure. DO NOT leave burner control knob in ON
position if burner does not light. If the burner does not
ignite with the valve open, gas will continue to flow out
of the burner and could accidently ignite with risk of
injury.

Turning Grill Off

•Turn all knobs to position. Turn LP cylinder off by turning
hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop.

Match-Lighting

Ignitor Check

•Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Push the control knob in and
turn the knob to the left to “HI” position." Clicking" should be
heard and spark seen each time between collector box or
burner and electrode. See "Troubleshooting" if no click or
spark.

Do not lean over grill while lighting.

1. Open lid during lighting.

2. Place match into match holder (hanging from side of cart).
Light match, place into the firebox.

3. Push in and turn right knob to HIGH position. Be sure burner
lights and stays lit.

4. Light other burners by pushing knob in and turning to HI
position.

Valve Check

•Important: Make sure gas is off at LP cylinder before
checking valves. Knobs lock in OFF position. To check
valves, first push in knobs and release, knobs should spring
back. If knobs do not spring back, replace valve assembly
before using grill. Turn knobs to LOW position then turn back
to OFF position. Valves should turn smoothly.

Hose Check

•Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn.
Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use only identical
replacement part valve/hose/regulator as specified in the
Parts List of this Use and Care Guide.

•Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the
factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong
solution of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with
scrub brush on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow
to completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven
cleaner to painted surfaces.

• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.

General Grill Cleaning

Side burner Match Lighting

1. Open side burner lid. Turn on gas at LP cylinder.

2. Place lit match near burner.

3. Turn side burner knob to HI. Be sure burner lights and
stays lit.

9

Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a

concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and
failure of parts can result.

•Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most
residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution

or specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring

powder for stubborn stains.

•Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive
cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft
nonabrasive cloth.

•Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill’s high quality
appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy

water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-

on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic
cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid
damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.

• Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of
the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on
cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to
clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.

Storing Your Grill

•Clean cooking grates.

•Store in dry location.

•When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a
wellventilated space and out of reach of children.

•Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill
covers offered by manufacturer.

•Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and
disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors.

•When removing grill from storage, follow “Cleaning the Burner
Assembly” instructions before starting grill.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of

burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.

1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder.

2. Remove cooking grates and heat diffusers.

3. Remove cotter pins from rear of burners.

4. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.

SPIDER ALERT!

SPIDER AND WEBS
INSIDE BURNER TUBE

We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one
easiest for you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well)
into a small hook. Run the hook through each burner
tube several times.

(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not
use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each
burner tube several times.

If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that
The flame isn’t as strong as it should be, take the time to
check and clean the burner tubes.

Spiders or small insects have been known to create
“flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests
and lay eggs in the grill’s burner tubes obstructing the
flow of gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite
in the burner tube behind the control panel. This is known
as a flashback and it can damage your grill and even
cause injury.

To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the
burner and burner tube assembly should be removed
from the grill and cleaned before use whenever the grill
has been idle for an extended period.

(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into
the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each
port to make sure air comes out each hole.

5. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food
residue and dirt.

6. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open
paper clip.

7. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion
some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or
holes are found replace burner.

Food Safety
Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor

cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria,
follow these four basic steps:
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy
water before and after handling raw meat and poultry.
Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat
foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and
utensils when removing cooked foods.
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a
thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.
For more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline
at 1-800-535-4555 (In Washington, DC [phone], 10:00
am-4:00 pm EST).

Correct burner-to-valve engagement

Indirect Cooking
Poultry and large cuts of meat cook slowly to perfection on the
grill by indirect heat. Place food over unlit burner(s); the heat
from lit burners circulates gently throughout the grill, cooking
meat or poultry without the touch of a direct flame.
This method greatly reduces flare-ups when cooking extra fatty
cuts because there is no direct flame to ignite the fats and

j

uices that drip during cooking.

How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly

• Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast on
the outside. Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has
reached a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to
check for visual signs of doneness.

• Whole poultry should reach 180° F; breasts, 170° F. Juices
should run clear and flesh should not be pink.

• Hamburgers made of any ground meat or poultry should
reach 160° F, and be brown in the middle with no pink juices.
Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked
to 145°F. All cuts of pork should reach 160° F.

• NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later.
Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.

• When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats like hot
dogs, grill to 165° F, or until steaming hot.

flow under normal conditions yet control excess gas flow.
Rapid changes in pressure can trigger the excess flow
device providing a low flame and low temperature. If the
tank valve is turned open to allow gas flow while a burner
valve is open, the surge of pressure will cause the device
to activate. The device will remain closed until the
pressure is equalized. This should occur within 5
seconds.
To ensure this does not cause difficulty in lighting the grill,
follow these instructions:

1. Make sure all burner valves are “OFF”.

2. Open the tank valve and wait 5 seconds.

3. Light the burners one at a time following the lighting
instructions.
