Z_WARNING

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.

Z_WARNING

(a) Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance; (b) Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full; and (c) If the information in "(a)" and "(b)" is not

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. ALP cylinder not connected for use must 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.

CGA-B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.

2 © Sears, Roebuck and Co.

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 in grill box. Never connect your gas

_rill to an LP gas tank that exceeds this capacity.

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 a listed Overfill Prevention Device.

This safety feature prevents tank from being overfilled which can cause malfunction of LP gas tank,

regulator and/or grill.

The LP gas tank must be constructed and marked

in accordance with the Specifications for LP-Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation

(D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/ CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Trans-

portation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as

applicable.

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

connection 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.

• 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 usa the gas must be turned off at the LP gas tank.

• The regulator and hose assembly can be seen after opening the doors (if applicable), 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 unnec- essary 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 1-800-4-MY-HOME®(1-800-469-4663) for a Sears authorized replacement hose.

• Never light your gas grill with the lid closed or before checking to ensure 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.

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. Do not locate this appliance under overhead unprotected

combustible surfaces. Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation air around the gasgrill 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 upright position. Do not store (or use) gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this gas grill.

• LP gas tanks 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.

Z WARNING

If you smell gas:

• Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.

• Turn the Control Knobs to OFF position.

• Extinguish any open flame such as candle, cigarette, lighter, etc., that could cause gas

to ignite.

• Open the 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 depart-

ment. 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

call the Grill Information Center for assis- tance, 8am - 8pm CST, Monday through

Friday 1-888-317-7642.

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 "FLASHBACK" and can cause serious damage to your grill and create an unsafe

operating condition for the user. To reduce the chance of "FLASHBACK", 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.

To reduce the chance of "FLASHBACK" (see

CAUTION at left) 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.

[ J

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.

Z WARNING

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

tion. Check to ensure the Orifice is inside the Burner Tube before using your gas grill.

See Figure 2. If the Orifice is not inside the Burner Tube, lighting the Burner may cause explosion and/or fire.
