Sears, Roebuck and Co., Dept. 817WA, Hoffman Estates, IL 60179

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 Electdcal 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 gdll 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. A tank of approximately 12 inches in diameter by

18-1/2 inches high is the maximum size LP gas

tank to use. You must use an "OPD" gas tank which offers an Overfill Prevention Device. This

safety feature prevents the tank from being overfilled which can cause malfunction of the LP gas tank, regulator and/or grill.

The LP gas tank must be constructed and marked in accordance with specifications of the U.S. Dept. of Transportation (DOT). In Canada, the LP gas tank must meet the Canadian Transportation and Communications (CTC) specifications. Also be sure

to read and follow all LP instructions below.

1. The LP gas tank has a shutoff valve,

terminating in an LP gas supply tank valve outlet, that is compatible with a Type 1 tank connection device. The LP gas tank must also have a safety relief device that has a direct communication with the vapor space of

the tank.

2. The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.

3. The LP gas tank used must have a collar to protect the tank valve.

Proper Placement and Clearance of Grill Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed, breezeway or any other enclosed area. Your gas grill isto be used outdoors only, at least 24 inches from the back and side of any combustible surface.

Your gas gdll should net be placed under any surface that will burn. Do net obstruct the flow of

ventilation air around the gas grill housing. This outdoor gas grill isnot 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 gdll 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 an upright

position.

• Do not store (or use) gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this gas grill.

• An LP gas tank that is not connected for use must

NOT be stored on bottom shelf or in the vicinity of

this or any other gas gdll.

• Do not subject the LPgas tank to excessive heat.

• Never store an LP gas tank indoors. If you store your gas gdll 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 gdll 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

unnecessary 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 gdll.

Call Sears at 1-800-366-PART (1-800-366-

7278) for a Sears authodzed replacement

hose.

• Never light your gas grill with the lid closed or before checking to insure the burner tubes are fully seated over the gas valve odfices.

• Never allow children to operate your grill. Do

not allow children to play near your grill.

Z WARNING

A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of gas indicates a serious problem with your gas gdll or the LP gas tank. Failure to

immediately follow the steps listed below could result in a fire or explosion that could cause sedous bodily injury, death, or

property damage.

Shut off gas supply to the gas gdll.

Turn the Control Knobs to OFF position.

Put out any flame with a fire extinguisher. Open 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 electdcal 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 wilt 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 15, step 4, or call the Customer Service Helpline for assistance, 8am - 8pm CST, Monday through

Friday 1-888-317-7642.
