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.

A tank of approximately 12 inches in diameter by

FOR YOUR g^pgYY

FOR YOUR SAFETY

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 Transporta

tion and Communications (CTC) specifications. Also

be sure to read and follow all LP instructions below.

1. The LP gas tank has a shutoff valve, termi nating in an LP gas supply tank valve outlet,

that is compatible with a Type 1 tank con

nection 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 Grltl

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 IT' 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 grill.

• Do not subject the LP gas tank to excessive heat.

• Never store an LP gas tank indoors. If 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

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 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 insure 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.

A 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 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 electrical 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 17, step 4, or call the Customer Service Helpline for assistance, Sam - 8pm CST, Monday through

Friday 1-888-317-7642.

Assembly Tips

CAUTION: BEWARE OF FLASH-BACK

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

be sure all Pattern Head Thumb Screws are tightened. You may use the supplied Tightening Tool (P55M3A) as needed.

Pre-Assembly Instructions

To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK" (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.

CAUTION: Spiders and small insects occa sionally spin webs or make nests in the grill

Burner Tubes during transit and warehousing. These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruc tion which could result in a fire in and around the Burner Tubes. This type of fire is known as a "FLASH-BACK" and can cause serious damage to your grill and create an unsafe operating condition for the user.

Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of "FLASH-BACK", it is the most common cause.

To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK", you

must clean the burner tubes before assem

bling your grill, and at least once a month in

late summer or early fall when spiders are

most active. Also perform this Burner Tube cleaning procedure if your grill has not been

used for an extended period of time.

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.

Figure 1

A WARNING

The location of the Burner Tube with re spect to the Orifice is vital for safe

operation. Check to ensure the Orifice is

inside of the Burner Tube before using your gas grill. See Fig. 2. If the Burner Tube does not fit over the Valve Orifice, lighting the Burner may cause explosion and/or fire.
