USE AND CARE

DANGER

• NEVER store a spare LP cylinder under or near the
appliance or in an enclosed area.

• Never fill a cylinder beyond 80% full.

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

• An over filled 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/appliance and call
your fire department.

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 Tanks of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) or for Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, tanks,
spheres and tubes for transportation of dangerous goods.
Transport Canada (TC). 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
feature is identified by a unique triangular hand wheel. Use

only LP Tanks equipped with this type of valve.

• LP Tank must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and include
collar to protect LP Tank valve. Always keep LP Tanks in
upright position during use, transit or storage.

LP (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)

• 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 Tank Filling

• Use only licensed and experienced dealers.

• LP dealer must purge new 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.

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 tanks. 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.

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 sideburner and side shelf is 10 lbs.
?The grease tray must be inserted into grill and emptied after

each use. Do not remove grease 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 grease or other hot material dripping from grill

onto valve, hose or regulator, turn off gas supply at once.
Determine the cause, correct it, then clean and inspect valve,
hose and regulator before continuing. Perform a leak test.

?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!

• Apartment Dwellers:

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 burner tubes.

CONTROL PANEL

VALVE

SPIDER WEBS

INSIDE BURNER TUBE

In some areas of the country, spiders or small insects have been
known to create “flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build
nests and lay eggs in the grill’s burner tube(s) obstructing the flow of
gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the burner tube
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
tube assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned
before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.

•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 grease
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.

Storing Your Grill

•Clean cooking grates.

•Store in dry location.

•When LP cylinder is connected to grill, store outdoors in a well­ventilated space and out of reach of children.

•Cover grill if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of grill
covers offered by Sears or other qualified dealers.

•Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and
disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors.

•When removing grill from storage, follow “Cleaning the Burner
Assembly” instructions before starting grill.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly

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 grease tray from back of grill.

3. Open doors, remove tank heat shield and grease pan from

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
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.

• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
? Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a

concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and
failure of parts can result.

•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.

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.

(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into

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

Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food

residue and dirt.
Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open

11.
paper clip.

12.

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 tube must be properly connected.
See illustration below.

Food Safety

Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor
cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria,
follow 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

food 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 [phone], 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 food 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 165° 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. All 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.

WARNING:　To ensure that it is safe to eat, food must be cooked　
to the minimum internal temperatures listed in the table below.
