breezeway or any other enclosed area. Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air around

your gas grill housing. Keep gas regulator hose away from hot grill

surfaces and dripping grease. Avoid unneces- sary 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 Kenmore replacement hose.

Burner and out the Ports.
