LP Gas Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT: Your Kenmore LP Gas Grill cannot
be converted to use Natural Gas. Attempting to do
so is extremely hazardous and will also void the
grill warranty.
Grill Installation Codes
This gas grill must be installed in accordance with
all local codes. In areas witiiout local codes, follow
the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1. and National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA 70 In Canada, installation must conform to
standard CAN/CGA 1b149.1 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 witii 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
©Sears, Roebuck and Co.
18-1/2 inches high is the maximum size LP gas
tank to use. You must use 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.
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 tiie Canadian Transporta
tion and Communications (CTC) specifications. /Mso
be sure to read and follow all LP instructions
below.
1. The LP gas tank has a shutoff valve, termi
nating in an LP gas supply tank valve outlet,
that is compatible with a TiT>® 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.
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
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 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 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. 3
• 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 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 1-800-366-PART (1-800-366-7278)
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.
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 proper fire extin
guisher.
• 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.
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
with this procedure refer to page 17, step 4,
or call the Customer Service Helpline for
assistance, Sam - 8pm CST, Monday through
Friday 1-888-317-7642.
Natural Gas Safety Instructions
Figure 1 (Natural gas model only}
IMPORTANT: your Kenmore Natural Gas Grill cannot
be converted to use LP Gas. Attempting to do so
is extremely hazardous and will also void the grill
warranty.
• Your natural gas grill is designed to operate on
natural gas only, at a pressure of 7" water column
(W.C.) (1/4 psi or 1.75 kpa), regulated at the
residential meter. Check with your gas utility
company for local gas pressure and with your
local municipality for building code requirements. If
your residential gas line pressure has not been
regulated to 7" W.C., contact your local gas utility
company for professional assistance.
• It is recommended that a Shutoff Valve be installed
at the gas supply source outdoors. Install at a point
after the gas pipe exits the outside wall and before
the quick^disconnect hose, or install it at the point
before the gas line piping enters the ground.
See Fig. 1.
• Pipe sealing compound or pipe thread tape resistant
to the action of natural gas must be used on all male
pipe threads when making the connection.
• Disconnect your gas grill from fuel source when
the gas supply is being tested at high pressures.
This gas grill and its individual shutoff valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply pipe system
during any pressure testing of that system at
pressure in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5kpa).
GAS SUPPLY
DISCONNECT
• Turn off your gas grill when the gas supply is
being tested at low pressures. The grill must be
isolated from the gas supply pipe system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply pipe
system at pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi
(3.5kpa).
CAUTION: bevVARE OF FLASHBACK
Flashback Prevention
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 t^^e 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 dean 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 right) 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.
C
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.
>
Figure 1
A 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 Fig. 2. If the Burner Tube does not fit
over the Valve Orifice, lighting the Burner
may cause explosion and/or fire.
