CAUTION: Spiders and small insects occasionally spin
webs or make nests in the grill burner tubes during transit

and warehousing. These webs can lead to gas flow
obstruction which could result in a fire in and around burner

tubes. This type of fire is known as "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.

See instructions on cleaning burner tube on page 10.

The Fuel System

Gas grills are used safely by millions of people when
following simple safety precautions.

The items in the fuel system are designed for
operation with this Kenmore grill. They must not be

replaced with any other brand. (See parts list for
replacement items.)

GAS BURNER: The gas burner is constructed of
tubular stainless steel and should not require

maintenance other than inspection for insects/nests
inside the air intake slots.

BURNER VALVE/REGULATOR: The burner
control is actually a regulator/valve assembly. The

regulator attaches directly to the end of the burner,
which extends out of the right end of the grill by, a 1-
pound propane cylinder threads into the regulator.
Only a factory supplied gas valve/regulator must
be used, (See parts list for replacement items.)

LP GAS REGULATOR CAUTION

The gas pressure regulator provided with this
appliance must be used. This regulator is equipped

with the required orifice and is set for the required
outlet pressure for this appliance. This combination

of orifice size and pressure regulation specifications
provides the cooking performance intended by

Kenmore Table Top Grill. Substitution of regulator
by any other device or any other manufacturer is

dangerous and could result in serious injury.

LP GAS REGULATOR

The gas pressure regulator is shipped loose and
must be installed prior to operating your grill. This is
a "slip-fit"- requiring no tools. See assembly
instructions on page 7 for proper installation. The
regulator may be removed from the grill after use.
Turn the regulator control knob to the "OFF" position;
disconnect the LP cylinder and allow the grill to cool
for at least 30 minutes prior to removing regulator.

Care should be taken to store the regulator in a
clean, secure location when the grill is not in use.
The threaded cylinder connection area should be
kept clean and free of dust, dirt, sand or any
foreign materials. Clean both the regulator and
LP cylinder threaded areas prior to connecting
cylinder to regulator.

PROPANE FUEL: WARNING - propane is a
flammable gas. Improper handling may result in
an explosion andlor fire and serious accident or
injury. Your grill is designed to operate with
propane (LP) gas only and is equipped with the
proper orifice for propane gas.

WARNING: Do not connect this grill with any

gas supply other than propane. Propane gas is
heavier than air and settles in lower areas. Make

certain adequate ventilation is available when
using your grill. The gas cylinder may be stored

outside in a well-ventilated area out of the reach
of children when the grill is not in use.

LP GAS CYLINDER: This grill is designed and
intended to be used with a disposable propane

cylinder with a nominal fuel weight of 1lb. Such
a cylinder is approximately 4" in diameter and 7"

long. The Kenmore Table Top Grill does not
include an LP gas cylinder. This must be

purchased separately and be found at most
hardware stores. The cylinder used must be

constructed in accordance with the specifications
for LP cylinders of the U.S. Department of

Transportation (DOT) DOT-39 NRC232/290 MIlIO.

4

The LP gas cylinder shall be used only outdoors in a well-ventilated space and not in a building, garage, or
any other enclosed area. The Kenmore Table Top Grill may be stored indoors if the LP gas cylinder is
removed and stored outdoors. The LP gas cylinder (not included) is threaded for connection directly to the
gas regulator supplied with this appliance. Care should be taken when threading the cylinder to the regulator
to engage threads correctly to achieve the proper and intended connection. When disconnecting or
connecting the gas cylinder, be careful that the regulator does not strike the grill, the ground, or any other
surfaces. Replace the protective cap over the threaded cylinder connection when removed from grill. If any
difficulty occurs when connecting or disconnecting the cylinder to the regulator assembly, contact your local
gas supplier for assistance.

When re-connecting the LP gas cylinder to the regulator, be sure to hand-tighten until snug. This connection
should be inspected for damage and leak tested after each re-connection.

To leak test, make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray
bottle, brush, or rag to apply the solution to the cylinder-regulator connection. Bubbles indicate leaks.
