Z_ WARNI NG
Your grill will get very hot. Never lean over
the cooking area while using your grill. Do not touch cooking surfaces, grill housing, Lid or any other grill parts while the grill is in operation, or
until the grill has cooled down after use.
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. An LP cylinder not connected for use shall 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.
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.

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 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 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.
WARNI NG
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, 8am - 8pm CST, Monday through
Friday 1-888-317-7642.

2. Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle. Run the brush through the Burner Tube and
inside the Burner several times, removing any
debris.
3. 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.
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.
z 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.
