3. Open Lid.
4. If odor continues, immediately call your gas
supplier or your fire department.

ANSI Z223.1. and National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA 70 In Canada, installation must conform to
standard CAN/CGA lb149.1 or 1-b149.2 (Installation

ProperPlacementand Clearance of Grill
Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,
breezeway or any other enclosed area. Your gas grill is
to be used outdoors only, at least 24 inches from the
back and side of any combustible surface. Your
gas grill should not be placed under any surface
that will burn. Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation
air around the gas grill housing.
This outdoor gas grill is not intended to be installed in
or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
• Never connect an unregulated LP gas tank to
your gas grill. The gas regulator assembly
supplied with your gas grill is adjusted to have
an outlet pressure of 11" water column (W.C.)
for connection to an LP gas tank.
• Only use the regulator and hose assembly
supplied with your gas grill. Replacement
regulators and hose assemblies must be those
specified by Sears.
• Have your LP gas tank filled by a reputable
propane gas dealer and visually inspected and
re-qualified at each filling.
• Never fill the gas tank beyond 80% full.
Have your propane gas dealer check the
release valve after every filling to ensure that it
remains free of defects.
• Always keep LP gas tanks in upright position.
Do not store (or use) gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this gas grill.
• LP gas tanks not connected for use must NOT be
stored on bottom shelf or in the vicinity of this or
any other gas grill.
• Do not subject the LP gas tank to excessive heat.
• Never store an LP gas tank indoors, tf you
store your gas grill in the garage or other indoor
location, always disconnect the LP gas tank
first and store it safely outside.
• LP gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a
well-ventilated area and out of the reach of
children. Disconnected LP gas tanks must not
be stored in a building, garage or any other
enclosed area.
• When your gas grill is not in use the gas
must be turned off at the LP gas tank.
• The regulator and hose assembly must be
inspected before each use of the grill. If there
is excessive abrasion or wear or if the hose is
cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being
used again.
• Keep the gas regulator hose away from hot
grill surfaces and dripping grease. Avoid unnec-
essary twisting of hose. Visually inspect hose
prior to each use for cuts, cracks, excessive
wear or other damage. If the hose appears
damaged do not use the gas grill. Call Sears
at 1-800-366-PART (1-800-366-7278) for a Sears
authorized replacement hose.
• Never light your gas grill with the lid closed or
before checking to ensure the burner tubes are
fully seated over the gas valve orifices.
• Never allow children to operate your grill. Do
not allow children to play near your grill.
, WARNING
A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of
gas indicates a serious problem with your
gas grill or the LP gas tank. Failure to
immediately follow the steps listed below
could result in a fire or explosion that could
cause serious bodily injury, death, or prop-
erty damage.
• Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.
• Turn the Control Knobs to OFF position.
• Put out any flame with a Class B fire
extinguisher.
• Open the Grill Lid.
• Get away from the LP gas tank.
• Do not try to fix the problem yourself.
• If odor continues or you have a fire you
cannot extinguish, call your fire
department. Do not call near the LP gas
tank because your telephone is an electri-
cal device and could create a spark
resulting in fire and/or explosion.
NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the
regulator and hose assembly can create a
humming noise. A low volume of noise is
perfectly normal and will not interfere with
operation of the grill. If humming noise is
loud and excessive you may need to purge
air from the gas line or reset the regulator
excess gas flow device. This purging proce-
dure should be done every time a new LP
gas tank is connected to your grill. For help
with this procedure refer to page 14, step 4,
or call the Grill Information Center for
assistance, 8am - 8pro CST, Monday
through Friday 1-888-317-7642.

To reduce the chance of "FLASHBACK" (see
CAUTION at right) clean the Burner Tubes and
Burners before fully assembling your grill.
Remove the Cotter Pin from the rear underside
of each Burner using a pair of long nose pliers.
Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the
Gas Valve Orifice, then refer to Figure 1 and
perform one of these three cleaning methods:
Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger
works well) into a small hook as shown
below. Run the hook through the Burner Tube
and inside the Burner several times to remove
any debris.
Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle.
.
Run the brush through the Burner Tube and
inside the Burner several times, removing any
debris.
,
Use an air hose to force air through each
Burner Tube. The forced air should pass
debris or obstructions through the Burner and
out the Ports.

BURNER TUBE
• Long nose pliers can be used to remove
Cotter Pin when cleaning the Burners
• Use work gloves to protect your hands

The location of the Burner Tube with re-
spect to the Orifice is vital for safe
operation. Check to ensure the Orifice is
inside the Burner Tube before using your
gas grill. See Fig. 2. tf the Burner Tube
does not fit over the Valve Orifice, lighting
the Burner may cause explosion and/or fire.

CAUTION: While it is possible for one person to as-
semble this grill, obtain assistance from another person
when handling some of the larger, heavier pieces,
especially the grill head.
1. Open Lid of shipping carton and remove top sheet of
cardboard. Lay cardboard sheet on floor and use as a
work surface to protect floor and grill parts from
scratches.
2. Remove packing materials and cart parts from ship-
ping carton.
3. You may slice the carton front corners with a utility
knife to lay open the carton front panel. This will
allow you to raise the grill head Lid and remove the
components packed inside the head, making it
easier to lift.
4. With an assistant, lift the grill head out of the ship-
ping carton and place it on the cardboard work sur-
face. See Fig. 1.
5. Use the parts list to check that all parts have been
included.
6. Inspect the grill for damage as you assemble it. Do
not assemble or operate the grill if it appears
damaged. If there are damaged or missing parts
when you unpack the shipping box, or you have
questions during the assembly process, call the:
