Correct LPG Cylinder Use

LPG grill models are designed for use with a

standard 20 lb. Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) cylinder, not included with grill box. Never connect your gas grill to an LPG cylinder that

exceeds this capacity. A cylinder of approxi- mately 12 inches in diameter by 18-1/2 inches

high should be the maximum size LPG cylinder used. We recommend buying an "OPD" gas

cylinderwhich offers an Overfill Prevention

Device. This safety feature prevents the cylinder

from being overfilledwhich can cause malfunction of the LPG cylinder, regulator and/or grill.

The LPG cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with specificationsof the

U.S. Dept. of Transportation (DOT). In Canada, the LPG cylinder must meet the Canadian

Transportationand Communications(CTC) specifications. Also be sure:

1. The LPG cylinder has a shutoff valve, termi- nating in an LPG supply cylinder valve outlet,

that is compatible with a Type 1 cylinder

connection device. The LPG cylinder must also have a safety relief device that has a

direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder.

2. The cylinder supply system must be arranged

for vapor withdrawal.

3. The LPG cylinder used must have a collar

to protect the cylinder valve.

2 © Sears, Roebuck and Co.

WARNING

Failure to comply with these instructions could result in a fire or explosion which

could cause serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.

• Never connect an unregulated LPG cylinder 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 LPG cylinder.

• 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 LPG cylinder filled by a reputable

propane gas dealer and visually inspected and re-qualified at each filling.

• Never fill the gas cylinder 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 LPG cylinders in an upright position.

• Do not store (or use) gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this gas gdll.

• An LPG cylinder that is not connected for use

must not be stored in the vicinityof this or any other gas grill.

• Do not subject the LPG cylinder to excessive

heat.

• Never store an LPG cylinder indoors. If you

store your gas grill in the garage or other indoor location, always disconnect the LPG

cylinder first and store it safely outside.

• LPG cylinders must be stored outdoors in a

well-ventilated area. Disconnected LPG cylin- ders 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 LPG cylinder.

• 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 gas

grill. Call Sears at 1-800--4-MY-HOME 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.

WARNING

IF YOU SMELL GAS:

• Shut off gas supply to the grill.

• Extinguish any open flame.

• Open grill lid.

• If odor continues, immediately call your

gas company or local fire department.

Failure to comply with these instructions could result in a fire or explosion which

could cause serious bodily injury, death, or

property damage.

WARNING

A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of

gas indicates a serious problem with your gas grill or the LPG cylinder. Failure to

immediately follow the steps listed below could result in a fire or explosion which

could cause serious bodily injury, death, or propertydamage.

• Get away from the LPG cylinder.

• Do not try to fix the problem yourself.

• Call your fire department. (Do not call

near the LPG cylinder because your

telephone is an electrical device.)

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

grill burner tubes dudng transit and warehousing. These webs can lead to a gas

flow obstruction 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

assembling 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 gdll has not been used for an extended period

of time.

/h WARNING

Toreduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK" (see

caution on page 3) 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:

1. 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•

( ;- '1)

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 debds

or obstructions through the burner and out the ports.

The location of the burner tube with respect 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.
