z_ WARNI NG

Failure to comply with these instructions

could result in a fire or explosion that could cause serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.

Grill Installation Codes

This gas grill must be installed in accordance with all local codes. In areas without local codes, follow the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas

Code ANSI Z223.1. In Canada, installation must conform to standard CAN/CGA lb149.1 or 1-b149.

2 (Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment) and all local codes.

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 with grill box. Never connect your gas grill to an LP gas tank that exceeds this capacity. A tank of approximately 12 inches

in diameter by 18-1/2 inches high is the maxi-

mum size LP gas tank to use. We recommend

buying an "OPD" gas tank which offers an Overfill

Prevention Device. This safety feature prevents the tank from being overfilled which can cause mal-

function of the LP gas tank, regulator and/or grill. The LP gas tank must be constructed and

marked in accordance with specifications of the U.

S. Dept. of Transportation (DOT). In Canada, the

LP gas tank must meet the Canadian Transporta- tion and Communications (CTC) specifications. Also be sure:

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 communication 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.

Proper Placementand 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. Your

gas grill should not be placed under any surface that will burn. Do not obstruct thefiow of ventilation

air around the gas grill housing. This outdoor gas grill is not intended to be installed in

or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.

z WARNING

Failure to comply with these instructions

could result in a fire or explosion that

could cause serious bodily injury, death,

or property damage.

• 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 an upright position.

• Do not store (or use) gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this gas grill.

• An LP gas tank that is not connected for use must not be stored 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, tf you store your gas grill in the garage or other indoor location, always disconnect the LP gas tank first and store it safely outside.

• LP gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Disconnected LP gas tanks 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 LP gas tank.

• 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 the

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.

WARNI NG

A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of gas indicates a serious problem with your gas grill or the LP gas tank. Failure to immediately follow the steps listed below could result in a fire or explosion that could cause serious bodily injury, death, or prop- erty damage.

• Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.

• Turn the control knobs to OFF position.

• Put out any flame with a fire extinguisher.

• Open 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 extinquish, call your fire

department. 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.

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 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 grill has not been used for an extended period

of time.

To reducethechanceof "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.

,.}

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 debris or obstructions through the burner and out the

ports.

WARNI NG

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.
