Failure to install can in clip will cause hot
grease to drip from bottom of grill with risk of
Иге or property damage.
CAUTION
A
USE AND CARE i
Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full. An overfilled
spare LP tank is hazardous due to possible gas
released from the safety relief valve.
The safety relief valve on the LP tank could activate
releasing gas and cause an intense fire with risk of
property damage, serious injury or death.
NEVER store a spare LP tank under or near grill or in
enclosed areas.
If you see, smell or hear escaping gas, immediately get
away from the LP tank/grill and call your fire
department.
All spare LP tanks must have safety caps installed on
the LP tank outlet.
LP Tank
• The LP tank used with your grill must meet the following
requirements:
• Use LP tanks only with these required measurements: 12"
{30.5cm} (diameter) x 18" {45.7 cm) (tall) with 20 lb. (9 kg.)
capacity maximum.
• LP tanks must be constructed and marked in accordance with
specifications for LP tank of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT). See LP tank collar for marking.
• LP tank valve must have:
• Type 1 outlet compatible with
regulator or grill.
• Safety relief valve. ^
• UL listed Overfill Protection
Device (OPD). This OPD safety
OPD Hand Wheel
feature is identified by a unique triangular hand wheel. Use
only LP tanks equipped with this ^pe of valve.
• LP tank must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and Include
collar to protect LP tank valve.
LP Tank Removal, Transport And Storage
LP (Liquefied Petroieum Gas)
• 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 injui^ 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.
LPTank Filling
• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.
• LP dealer must purge tank before filling.
• Dealer should NEVER fill LP tank more than 80% of LP tank
volume. Volume of propane in tank will vary by temperature.
• A frosty regulator indicates gas overfill. Immediately close LP
tank 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 tank, contact an LP dealer or call a
local fire department for assistance. Check the telephone
directory under “Gas Companies" for nearest certified LP
dealers.
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.
463845504*17
LP Tank Exchange
Connecting Regulator To The LP Tank
• 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.
LP Tank Leak Test
For your safety
1. LP tank must be properly secured onto grill. (Refer to
assembly section.)
2. Turn all control knobs to the OFF position.
3. Turn LP tank OFF by turning OPD hand wheel clockwise to a
full stop.
4. Remove the protective cap from LP tank valve. Always use
cap and strap supplied with valve.
• 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.
A A
If “growing” bubbles appear do not use or move the LP tank.
Contact an LP gas supplier or your fire department!
A Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to gas
train components can result.
Do not use a POL transport plug
(piastic part with external threads)!
It will defeat the safety feature of
the valve.
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 cross
thread the connection.
Nipple has to be centered

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
4. Brush soapy solution onto areas where bubbles are shown in

. 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:
counterclockwise. If you hear a rushing sound, turn gas off
immediately. There is a major leak at the connection. Correct
before proceeding.
picture below;
▲ Never remove threaded
orifice at end of valve.

^ ^
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!
Do not insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. You
may damage the valve and cause a leak. Leaking propane
may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or
death.
Never attempt to attach this grill to the self-contained LP gas
system of a camper trailer or motor home.
Do not use grill until leak-tested.
If a leak is detected at any time, STOP and call the fire
department.
If you cannot stop a gas leak, immediately close LP tank
valve and call LP gas supplier or your fire department!
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. Cali Sears for replacement

If the regulator frosts, turn off grill and LP tank valve
immediately. This Indicates a problem with the tank and it
should not be used on any product. Return to supplier!
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 tank out of correct position
specified in assembly instructions.
Always close LP tank valve and remove coupling nut
before moving LP tank from specified operation
position.

Before Your First Cookout
Repainting Your Grill
• Light burners, check to make sure they are lit, close the lid and
warm up grill on HIGH for 15 minutes. Curing of paint and parts
will produce an odor only on first lighting.
Burner Flame Check
• Light burner, rotate knobs from HI to LO. You should see a
smaller flame in LO position than seen on HI. Always check
flame prior to each use. Perform flame check on sideburner. If
only low flame is seen refer to "Sudden drop or low flame" In
the Troubleshooting Section.

• After extended use and exposure to weather, paint on grill may
deteriorate or become spotted. Although this detracts from
grill's appearance, It will not impair its performance.
• To refinish your grill brush outside of grill lid and bottom with
wire brush and lightly sand with fine grit sandpaper. Sanding
allows new paint to adhere more easily. Wash grill lid and
bottom with soap and water to remove dust and grease. Do not
use a grill cleaner on outside of grill. Wipe with vinegar.
Refinish outside with heat-resistant paint. Do not paint inside
of grill.
NATURAL HAZARD • SPIDERS
Turning Grill Off
• Turn all knobs to position. Turn LP tank off by turning
OPD hand wheel clockwise to a full stop.
Ignitor Check
• Turn gas off at LP tank. Press and hold ignitor button. "Click"
should be heard and spark seen each time between collector
box or burner and electrodes. See "Troubleshooting" It no click
or spark.
FACT: Sometimes spiders and other small insects climb into
the burner tubes attached to the burners. The spiders spin
webs, build nests and lay eggs. The webs or nests can be
very small, but they are very strong and can block the flow of
gas. Clean burners prior to use after storing, at the beginning
of grilling season or after a period of one month not being
used.
CAUTION
Valve Check
• important: Make sure gas is off at LP tank before checking
valves. Knobs lock in 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 LO position then turn back to 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 Identical
Kenmore replacement valve/hose/regulator assembly.
General Grill Cleaning
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease 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
Spider guards are on the air intakes in an effort to reduce this
problem, but it will not eliminate it! An obstruction can result
In a "flashback" (a fire in the burner tubes). The grill may still
light, but the obstruction does not allow full gas flow to the
burners.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Smell gas.
2. Burner(s) will not light.
3. A small yellow flame from burner (should be blue).
4. Fire coming from around or behind control knob.

air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted
surfaces.
• Plated wire grates: Wash grates and V-bar with concentrated
grill cleaner or use soap and water solution. Dry thoroughly and
STOP!
Immediately turn off gas at LP tank!
A After a burner tube fire, you must inspect the hose and
store Indoors between cookouts.

Follow the “Cleaning The Burner Assemblf Instructions.
• Porcelain grates: 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.

assembly or If you have trouble igniting grill.
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP tank.
2. Remove cooking grate and V-bar.
3. Remove grease can from beneath grill. Beneath grill bottom,
disconnect ignitor wire from electrode.
4. Remove screw holding collector box. Note which hole on
collector box used for attaching to burner. Remove collector
box and clean ceramic portion of electrode with rubbing
alcohol and cloth.
5. Under control panel, disengage burner springs from burner
tubes. Do not remove springs from valves.
6. To remove burner, slide backwards, lift up and out of grill.
7. Clean outside of burner with soap and water. Lay burner
upside down on flat surface. Force a stream of water through
tubes. Make sure water comes out of all burner holes. Open
clogged holes with a thin wire. Shake out excess water and
examine holes. Due to normal wear and corrosion, some
holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are
found replace burner.
8. If grill is to be stored, coat burner lightly with cooking oil.
Wrap in protective cover to keep insects out. If not storing grill
after cleaning, hold burner at an angle and insert into grill
bottom.

storing Your Grit!
• Clean cooking grates.
• Store in dry location.
• When LP tank is connected to grill, store outdoors in wellventilated space and out of reach of children.
• Cover grill if stored outdoors.
• Store grill indoors ONLY if LP tank is turned off and
disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors.
• When removing grill from storage follow "Cleaning Burner
Assembly" instructions before starting grill.
Direct Cooking
Use both burners to heat the grill for searing of the meat. Once
the meat has been seared, turn the burners to LO to cook meat
thoroughly.
Indirect Cooking
Once the grill is preheated, turn one of the burners off and place
your meat on the grate above the burner that is NOT burning.
This indirect method of cooking allows you to slow cook poultry
or large cuts of meat without the touch of a direct flame.
• Always cook with the iid closed.
• Due to weather conditions, cooking times may vary. During cold
and windy conditions the temperature setting may need to be
increased to insure sufficient cooking temperatures.
1. Ignite the LEFT burner. For slow cooking, adjust the control
knob to the LO setting. For faster cooking, adjust the control
knob to the H! setting.
2. Place the food on the RIGHT side of the cooking grate.
3. Because the heat source is only on one side, the food shouid
be rotated at least once during cooking to insure even
cooking. Use a meat thermometer to determine when the food
is done.
Food Safety
Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor
cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria,
foliow these four basic steps;
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water
before and after handling raw meat and poultry.
Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat
foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and
utensils when removing cooked foods.
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a
thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.
For more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at
1-800-535-4555 In Washington, DC (202) 720-3333,10:00 am4:00 pm EST.
How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly
• Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the
outside. Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached
a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to check for
visual signs of doneness.
• Whole poultry should reach 180° F; breasts, 170° F. Juices
should run clear and flesh should not be pink.
• Hamburgers made of any ground meat or poultry should reach
160° F, and be brown in the middle with no pink juices. Beef,
veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to 145°
F. Ail cuts of pork should reach 160° F.
• NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later.
Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.
• When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats like hot
dogs, grill to 165° F, or until steaming hot.
