LP Cylinder

USE AND CARE

• The LP cylinder used with your grill must meet the following

requirements:

• Use LP cylinders only with these required measurements: 12"

(30.5cm) (diameter) x 18" (45.7 cm) (tall) with 20 lb. (9 kg.)

Capacity maximum.

• LP cylinders must be constructed and marked in accordance

with specifications for LP cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or for Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, cylinders, spheres and tubes for transportation of dangerous goods. Transport Canada (TC). See LP cylinder collar for marking.

• LP cylinder valve must have:

• Type 1 outlet compatible with

regulator or grill.

• Safety relief valve.

• UL listed Overfill Protection

Device (OPD). This OPD safety feature is identified by a unique triangular hand wheel. Use only LP cylinders equipped with this type of valve.

LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)

LP Tank Removal, Transport And Storage

• Turn OFF all control knobs and LP tank valve. Turn coupling nut

counterclockwise by hand only - do not use tools to disconnect. Lift LP tank wire upward off of LP tank collar, then lift LP tank up and off of support bracket. Install safety cap onto LP tank valve. Always use cap and strap supplied with valve. Failure to use safety cap as directed may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.

LP Tank Valve

• LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when produced. For Your Safety, LP gas has been given an odor (similar to rotten cabbage) so that it can be smelled.

• LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly when mixed with air.

LP Cylinder Filling

• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.

• LP dealer must purge new cylinder before filling.

• Dealer should NEVER fill LP cylinder more than 80% of LP

cylinder volume. Volume of propane in cylinder will vary by temperature.

• A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately close LP cylinder valve and call local LP gas dealer for assistance.

• Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the atmosphere. This is a hazardous practice.

• To remove gas from LP cylinder, contact an LP dealer or call a local fire department for assistance. Check the telephone

directory under “Gas Companies” for nearest certified LP

dealers.

Safety Cap

Retainer Strap

• A disconnected LP tank in storage or being transported must have a safety cap installed (as shown). Do not store an LP tank in enclosed spaces such as a carport, garage, porch, covered patio or other building. Never leave an LP tank inside a vehicle which may become overheated by the sun.

• Do not store an LP tank in an area where children play.

DANGER

• Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% full.

• If the information in the two points above is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

• An overfilled or improperly stored cylinder is a hazard due to possible gas release from the safety relief valve. This could cause an intense fire with risk of property damage, serious injury or death.

• If you see, smell or hear gas escaping, immediately get away from the LP cylinder and appliance and call your fire department.

LP Tank Exchange

• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing your empty LP tank through an exchange service. Use only those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill, test and certify their cylinders. Exchange your tank only for an OPD safety feature-equipped tank as described in the "LP Tank" section of this manual.

• Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in upright position during use, transit or storage.

• Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE connecting to grill.

Connecting Regulator To The LP Tank

thread on outside

Safety Relief Valve

Strap and Cap

• Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is exchanged or refilled.

• Do not smoke during leak test.

• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.

• Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area,

away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical appliances. During leak test, keep grill away from open flames or sparks.

• Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and water solution. Brush soapy solution onto areas indicated by arrows in figure below. Leaks are indicated by growing bubbles.

Do not insert a POL transport plug

(plastic part with external threads) into the type 1 valve outlet. It will defeat the Safety Relief Valve feature.

WARNING

If “growing” bubbles appear do not use or move the LP

tank. Contact an LP gas supplier or your fire department!

5. Hold regulator and insert nipple into LP

tank valve. Hand-tighten the coupling nut, holding regulator in a straight line with LP tank valve so as not to crossththread the connection.

Nipple has to be centered into the LP tank valve.

▲Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to the gas

train components (valve/hose/regulator) can result.

Leak Testing Valves, Hose and Regulator

1. Turn all grill control knobs to OFF.

2. Be sure regulator is tightly connected to LP tank.

3. Completely open LP tank valve by turning OPD hand wheel

counterclockwise. If you hear a rushing sound, turn gas off immediately. There is a major leak at the connection. Correct before proceeding by calling Sears for replacement parts at 1-844-553-6667.

picture below:

Hold coupling nut and regulator

as shown for proper connection

▲

to LP tank valve.

Never remove threaded

orifice at end of valve.

6. Turn the coupling nut clockwise and tighten to a full stop. The

regulator will seal on the back-check feature in the LP tank valve, resulting in some resistance. An additional one-half to three-quarters turn is required to complete the connection. Tighten by hand only - do not use tools.

NOTE:

If you cannot complete the connection, disconnect regulator and repeat steps 5 and 6. If you are still unable to complete the connection, do not use this regulator! Call 1-844-553-6667 for an identical replacement part.

DANGER

• Do not insert any tool or foreign object into the valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage the valve and cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.

5. If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close LP tank

valve immediately and retighten connections. If leaks cannot be stopped do not try to repair. Call Sears for replacement parts at 1-844-553-6667.

6. Always close LP tank valve after performing leak test by

turning hand wheel clockwise.

WARNING

For Safe Use of Your Grill and to Avoid Serious Injury:

• Do not let children operate or play near grill.

• Keep grill area clear and free from materials that

burn.

• Do not block holes in sides or back of grill.

• Use grill only in well-ventilated space. NEVER use

in enclosed space such as carport, garage, porch, covered patio, or under an overhead structure of any kind.

• Do not use charcoal or ceramic briquets in a gas grill.

• Use grill at least 3 ft. from any wall or surface. Maintain 10 ft. clearance to objects that can catch fire or sources of ignition such as pilot lights on water heaters, live electrical appliances, etc.

• Apartment Dwellers: Check with management to learn the requirements and fire codes for using an LP gas grill in your apartment complex. If allowed, use outside on the ground floor with a three (3) foot clearance from walls or rails. Do not use on or under balconies.

• NEVER attempt to light burner with lid closed. A buildup of non-ignited gas inside a closed grill is hazardous.

• Never operate grill with LP cylinder out of correct position specified in assembly instructions.

• Always close LP cylinder valve and remove coupling nut before moving LP cylinder from specified operation position.

Safety Tips

▲ Before opening LP cylinder valve, check the coupling nut for

tightness.

▲ When grill is not in use, turn off all control knobs and LP cylinder

valve.

▲ Never move grill while in operation or still hot. ▲ Use long-handled barbecue utensils and oven mitts to avoid

burns and splatters.

▲ Maximum load for side shelf is 10 lbs. ▲ The Drip tray must be inserted into grill and emptied after each

use. Do not remove Drip tray until grill has completely cooled.

▲ Clean grill often, preferably after each cookout. If a bristle

brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.

▲ If you notice Drip or other hot material dripping from grill

Determine the cause, correct it, then clean and inspect valve, Keep ventilation openings in cylinder enclosure (grill cart) free and clear of debris.

▲ Do not store objects or materials inside the grill cart enclosure

that would block the flow of combustion air to the underside of either the control panel or the firebox bowl.

▲ The regulator may make a humming or whistling noise during

operation. This will not affect safety or use of grill.

▲ If you have a grill problem see the "Troubleshooting Section". If the regulator frosts, turn off grill and LP cylinder valve immediately. This indicates a problem with the cylinder and it should not be used on any product. Return to supplier!

CAUTION

• Putting out drip fires by closing the lid is not possible. Grills are well ventilated for safety reasons.

• Do not use water on a drip fire. Personal injury may result. If a drip fire develops, turn knobs and LP cylinder off.

• Do not leave grill unattended while preheating or burning off food residue on HI. If grill has not been regularly cleaned, a drip fire can occur that may damage the product.

Electronic Ignition Lighting Instructions

▲Do not lean over grill while lighting.

1. Open lid during lighting.

2. Turn ON gas valve on tank.

3. Push and turn any main burner control knob to HI and

hold in. You will hear a clicking sound from the electrodes of all burners.

4. If ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner

control knob to OFF, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting procedure.

5. To ignite another burner, repeat step 3.

6. Once burners are lit, adjust knobs to desired flame

setting. To extinguish an individual burner, turn its knob to OFF.

If the igniter does not work, follow Match Lighting instructions

CAUTION

Turn controls and gas source or tank OFF when not in use.

If ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner controls OFF, wait 5 minutes and repeat the lighting procedure. If the burner does not ignite with the valve open, gas will continue to flow out of the burner and could accidently ignite with risk of injury.

Match Lighting Instructions

▲Do not lean over grill while lighting.

1. Open lid during lighting.

2. Place match into match holder (hanging on left

side panel).

3. Light match and insert match holder through

lighting hole in side of firebox.

4. Place lighted match next to a burner. Turn

burner knob to HI position. Be sure burner lights and stays lit.

5. To light the other burners repeat step 4.

6. Once burners are lit, adjust knobs to desired

flame setting. To extinguish an individual burner, turn its knob to OFF.

Burner Flame Check

• Remove cooking grates and flame tamers. Light burners, rotate knobs

from HIGH to LOW. You should see a smaller flame in LOW position than seen on HI. Always check flame prior to each use. If only low flame is seen refer to "Sudden drop or low flame" in the Troubleshooting Section.

Turning Grill Off

• Turn all knobs to OFF position. Turn LP cylinder off.

When you are finished grilling, raise the grill lid while allowing the grill to fully cool. If the grill lid is closed during grill cooling, condensation may occur on interior grill surfaces and possibly cause them to rust.

Igniter Check

• Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Press and hold electronic ignitor button.

"Clicking" should be heard and spark seen each time between collector box or burner and electrode. See "Troubleshooting" if no click or spark.

Valve Check

• Important: Make sure gas is off at LP cylinder before checking valves.

Knobs lock in OFF position. To check valves, first push in knobs and release, knobs should spring back. If knobs do not spring back, replace valve assembly before using grill. Turn knobs to LOW position then turn back to OFF position. Valves should turn smoothly.

Hose Check

• Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn. Replace

damaged hoses before using grill. Use only valve/hose/regulator as specified in the parts list of this Use & Care Guide. General Grill Cleaning

• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of Drip and smoke for

paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.

• Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most residue can

be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.

• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner

and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.

• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill’s high quality

appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on Drip deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.

• Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill

cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.

Drip Tray and Cup: When the grill has completely cooled down after

use, remove the Drip cup from the bottom of the Drip Tray. The Drip Tray in this grill is not removable. You will have to remove the burners to properly access the drip tray for cleaning. See the Cleaning the Burner Assembly section for instruction to remove and reinstall burners. Reinstall the burners and reattach the drip cup to the bottom of the drip tray before using the grill again.

We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one easiest for you.

(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well)

into a small hook. Run the hook through each burner

tube several times.

(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not use

a brass wire brush), run the brush through each burner tube several times.

the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.

5. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt.

6. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.

7. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and

corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.

VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve openings. See illustrations below.

8. Carefully replace burners.

9. Attach burners to brackets with cotter pin.

10. Reposition carryover tubes and attach to burners. Replace

heat diffusers and cooking grates.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly

CAUTION

SPIDER ALERT!

Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.

1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder

2. Remove cooking grates and heat diffusers.

3. Remove cotter pin from rear of burners.

4. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.

SPIDER ALERT!

Spiders or small insects have been known to create “flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs in the grill’s

venturi tube(s) obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the venturi behind the control panel. This is known as a flashback and it can damage your grill and even cause injury.

To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and venturi assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.

Storing Your Grill

•Clean cooking grates.

•Store in dry location.

•When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a

well-ventilated space and out of reach of children.

•Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill

covers offered by manufacturer once available.

•Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and

Disconnected, remove from grill and stored outdoors.

• When removing grill from storage, follow “Cleaning the Burner

Assembly ” instructions before starting grill.

SPIDER ALERT!

If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the

flame isn’t as strong as it should be, take the time to check and clean the venturi’s.

IMPORTANT: Always ensure that the venturi burner tubes are clean. A venturi burner tube has a narrow area in which spiders tend to build nests.
