For one year from the date of purchase Sears will
repair or replace, at our option, any grill part
(except for paint loss and ignitor battery) that is
defective in material or workmanship.
Limited Warranty on Selected Grill Parts

designated time periods listed below. Sears will
replace the following grill parts if they are defective
in material or workmanship. You will be charged
for labor.

• 2 Years; Flame Tamers, Cooking Grids, Burners
• 4 Years; All Other Grill Parts (except ignitor battery)
A WARNING
Combustion by-products produced when
using this product contain chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
A WARNING
Failure to compiy 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 1b149.1 or 1b149.2 (Installation Code for Gas Burning Appli
ances 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 malfunction of the LP gas tank, regulator
and/or grill.
Warranty Service
Warranty service is available by contacting your
nearest Sears Service Center.
Warranty Restrictions
• This warranty is void if grill is used for commer
cial or rental purposes.
• This warranty applies only when the grill is
used in the United States.
• This warranty gives you specific legal rights,
and you may also have other rights which vary
from state to state.
Sears, Roebuck and Co., Dept. 81 TWA,
Hoffman Estates, IL 60179
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.
Sears, Roebuck and Co.
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. Your
gas grill should not be placed under any surface
that will burn. Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation
air around the gas grill housing.
This outdoor gas grill is not intended to be installed in
oron recreational vehicles and/or boats.
A 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. 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.
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.
A WARNING
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 extinguish, 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: BEWARE OF FLASH-BACK
CAUTION: Spiders and small insects occa
sionally spin webs or make nests in the
grill burner tubes during transit and ware
housing. 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.
Pre-Assembly Instructions
To reduce 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:
Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger
1,
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.
A WARNING
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.
