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.

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.
