Failure to comply with these instructions may result in serious bodily injury.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

1. Do not store or use gasoline or other flam-

mable material and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

2. A LP cylinder not connected for use must not be stored in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

If you smell gas:

1. Shut off gas to the appliance.

2. Extinguish any open flame.

3. Open Lid.

4. If odor continues, immediately call your gas

supplier or your fire department.

IMPORTANT: Your Kenmore LP Gas Grill cannot be converted to use Natural Gas. Attempting to do

so is extremely hazardous and will also void the grill warranty.

Grill Installation Codes This gas grill must be installed in accordance with

all local codes. In areas without local codes, follow the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code

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 Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment)

and all local codes.

Correct LP Gas Tank Use LP gas grill models are designed for use with a

standard 20 lb. Liquid Propane Gas (LP gas) tank, not included with grill box. Never connect your gas grill to an LP gas tank that exceeds this capacity.

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.

ASSEMBLY \\

BURNER TUBE

• Long nose pliers can be used to remove Cotter Pin when cleaning the Burners

• Use work gloves to protect your hands

• Wear eye protection

• When you have finished assembling your

grill we strongly urge that all Pattern

Head Thumb Screws be tightened, either

with the supplied Tightening Tool

GAS COLLECTOR BOX

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:
