IF YOU SMELL GAS:

1. Shut off gas to the appliance.

2 Extinguish any open flame.

3. Open lid.

4. If odor continues, keep away from
the appliance and immediately call
your gas supplier or your fire
department.

other flammable liquids and

vapors within 25 feet (8m) of this

appliance.

4. Do not leave oil/grease unattended.

LPG grill models must be used with Liquid
Propane Gas and the regulator assembly
supplied. Natural Gas models must be used
with Natural Gas only. Any attempt to convert
the grill from one fuel type to another is
extremely hazardous and will void the
warranty.

Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,
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 <e (1-800-469-4663) for a
Kenmore replacement hose.

Grill Installation Codes
The installation must conform with local codes or, in the

absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or CAN/CGA-B149.1, Natural
Gas and Propane installation Code.

Failure to comply with these instructions may
result in a hazardous situation which, if not

1. Remove the screw from the rear of each Burner
using a Phillips Head Screwdriver.

2. Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the
Gas Valve Orifice.

3. Check and clean Burner/Venturi Tubes for insects

and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire
beneath the grill.

4. Refer to the figure below and perform one of

these 3 cleaning methods:

[] METHOD 1: Bend a stiff wire or wire coat

hanger into a small hook as shown and run
the hook through the Burner Tube and inside

the Burner several times to remove debris.

[] METHOD 2: Use a bottle brush with a flexible

handle and run the brush through the Burner
Tube and inside the Burner several times to

remove any debris.

[] METHOD 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.

For safe operation ensure the Gas Valve Assem-
bly Orifice is inside the Burner Tube before using
your grill. See figure. If the Orifice is not inside
the Burner Tube, lighting the Burner may cause
explosion and/or fire resulting in serious bodily

injury and/or property damage.

PRE-ASSEMBLY

Read and perform the following pre-assembly
instructions:

[] Tools Required for Assembly include:

• protective work gloves

• protective eyewear

• #3 Phillips Head Screwdriver (included in
hardware pack in Parts Box)

[] You will need assistance from another person to handle

the grill head and other large, heavy parts.

[] Open Lid of shipping carton and remove parts box

and packing materials. Lay cardboard sheet on floor
and use as a work surface to protect floor and grill
parts from scratches.

knife to lay open the carton front panel. This allows
you to raise the grill head Lid and remove the

components packed inside, making it easier to lift.

protect floor and grill parts from scratches.

[] Use the Hardware and Part Diagrams to ensure all

items are included and free of damage.

[] Do not assemble or operate the grill if it appears

damaged. If there are damaged or missing parts
