CORRECT LP GAS TANK USE
LP gas grill models are designed for use with a standard 20lb. (9.1kg) Liquid Propane Gas (LP Gas) tank, which is not included with the grill. Never connect your gas grill to an LP gas tank that exceeds this capacity. A tank of approximately 12" (305mm) in diameter by 18-1/2" (472mm) high is the maximum size LP gas tank to use. You must use an
"OPD" gas tank which offers a listed Overfill
Prevention Device. This safety feature prevents tanks from being overfilled which can cause malfunction of the LP gas tank, regulator and grill.
The LP gas tank must be constructed and marked in accordance with the Specifications for LP-Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and
Commission, as applicable.
The LP gas tank must have a shut off valve terminating in a LP gas supply tank valve outlet that is compatible with a Type 1 tank connection device.
The LP gas tank must also have a safety relief device
that has a direct connection with the vapor space of the tank.
The tank supply system must have a means for vapor withdrawal.
The LP gas tank used must have a collar to protect the tank valve.
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.
See the Parts List. Have your LP Gas dealer check the release valve after every filling to ensure it remains free of defects. Always keep the LP gas tank in an upright position. Do not subject the LP gas tank to
excessive heat.
Never store an LP gas tank indoors. Tf you store
your gas grill indoors, always disconnect the LP gas tank first and store it safely outside.
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.
The regulator and hose assembly can be seen after opening the door and 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 using the grill again.
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.
]2
Never allow children to operate your grill. Do not allow children or pets to play near your grill.
Use of alcohol or drugs may impair the ability to assemble and operate the appliance.
Keep a fire extinguisher readily accessible. Tn the event of an oil or grease fire, do not attempt to extinguish with water. Use a Type B extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand, or baking soda.
In the event of rain, cover the grill and turn off the burner and gas supply.
Use your grill on a level, stable surface and ensure the locking casters are locked before use.
Do not leave the grill unattended when in use.
Do not move the appliance when in use.
Allow the grill to cool before moving or storing.
Do not use your grill as a heater. This grill is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
A. Do not store a spare LP gas tank under or
near this appliance. B. Never fill the tank beyond 80 percent full; C. ff the information in "(a)'and "(b)" is not
followed exactly, a fire causing death or
serious injury may occur.
Use your grill at least 3 feet away from any
wall or surface. Use your grill at least 3 feet
away from combustible objects that can melt or catch fire (such as vinyl or wood siding, fences and overhangs) or sources of ignition including pilot lights on water heaters and live electrical appliances.
Never use your gas grill in a building, garage, porch, shed, breezeway, boat, or any other enclosed area.
Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air around your gas grill housing.

Notes about LP Gas Tank Exchange Programs
Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing your empty LPgas 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 LPgas tank section of this manual.
Always keep new and exchanged LP gas tanks in an upright position during use, transit or storage.
Leak test new and exchanged LP gas tanks BEFORE connecting one to your grill.
How to Leak Test your LP Gas Tank For your safety:
All leak tests must be repeated each time your LPgas
tank is exchanged or refilled.
Do not smoke when checking for gas leaks.
Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
Your grill must be leak tested outdoors in a
well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical appliances. During the leak test, keep your grill away from open flames or sparks.
Do not use household cleaning agents as damage to
gas assembly components can occur.
[] Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and
water solution.
[] Brush soapy solution onto the LPgas tank in the areas
indicated by the arrows. See diagram.
•If growing bubbles appear do not use or move the LP Gas tank. Call an LP gas supplier or your fire
department.
Regulator and LP Cylinder Connections
The gas pressure regulator provided with this outdoor cooking appliance must be used. This
regulator is set for an outlet pressure of 11 inches water column.
Regulator:
Your regulator is equipped with a Q.C.C. Type 1
quick connect system, it will not allow gas to flow
until a positive seal has been made. it has a thermal element that will shut off the gas flow if the temperature reaches 240 degrees F (115
degrees C). Tt also has a flow-limiting device that
will restrict the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per
hour (0.28 cubic meters per hour).
TO CONNECT THE CYLINDER TO THE
REGULATOR AND HOSE
1. Be sure the LP cylinder is "OFF" by turning the hand wheel clockwise until it stops.
2. Place the cylinder into the base cabinet shelf of
the grill with the valve facing outward and
secure with the cylinder support ring.
3. Be sure all burner controls are turned to the
"OFF" position.
4. Remove the safety cap from the cylinder valve.
5. Center the nipple of the regulator into the cylinder valve.
6. Turn the black nut clockwise until it stops.
Hand Tighten Only, Do Not Use A Wrench,
If growing bubbles appear do not use or move the LP Gas tank. Contact an LP gas Supplier or your fire department!

Flow Limiting Valves on LP Gas Tanks
Your LP gas tank is equipped with a flow limiting valve that will restrict the flow of gas due to a sudden change in pressure. This can often activate without your knowledge. You will notice among other things that your grill does not get as hot as it should, will take longer to heat up, or you may not be able to light all burners. If you notice any of the above, then you should reset the valve and clear your gas line.
To do this
1 Ensure the LP gas tank valve is OFF. 2 Disconnect the regulator from the LP gas tank. 3 Open all burner control knobs including the side
burner to Hi at the same time.
4 Close all burner control knobs to OFF. 5 Let the LP gas tank stand for at least 10
minutes.
6 Reconnect the regulator assembly to the LP gas
tank.
7 Slowly, meaning about 1/4 turn at a time, turn
on the LP gas valve.
8 Follow the burner lighting procedures to light
the burner farthest away from the gas source.
9 The flow limiting valve should now be reset.
This flow limiting valve is triggered by sudden changes in pressure. This can be caused by a leak, faulty connection of the regulator to the LP gas tank, turning on the LP gas tank valve too quickly, or turning the burners off by turning the LP gas tank valve off before turning the burner control knobs to off. Note: always turn off your burners using the burner control knobs first before turning the LP gas tank valve off.
Transportation and Storage
1 Place dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet
whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of
propane.
2 Always transport your cylinder in an upright
position.
3 Do not smoke when transporting your cylinder.
Check all connections for LP Gas Leaks
Never test for leaks with a flame. Prior to
first use, at the beginning of each season or every time your LP Gas tank is changed you must check for gas leaks. Follow these three steps:
Make a soap solution by mixing one part
liquid detergent and one part water
Turn the burner control knobs to the OFF position. Then turn the gas ON at the source.
Apply the soap solution to all gas connections indicated by the arrows. See diagram. If bubbles appear in the soap solution the connections are not properly sealed. Check each fitting and tighten or repair as necessary.

CAUTION: Be sure your grill is off and cool before cleaning, and always wear protective gloves when cleaning your grill
Cleaning The Cooking Grates
Wash your cooking grates in a mild soap and warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth, vegetable brush, or brass bristled brush.
Never use any type of steel bristled brush. Dry
them when finished.
Cleaning the Heat Diffusers
Wash the heat diffusers periodically in a soap and warm water solution. Use a vegetable brush to remove stubborn burnt-on cooking residue. Dry the heat diffusers thoroughly before you reinstall them
into the firebox.
Cleaning the Grease Tray and Pan
To reduce the chance of fire, the grease tray and grease pan should be visually inspected before each grill use. Remove any grease and wash both with a mild soap and warm water solution.
Cleaning the Inside of the Grill Lid
Grease can have a tendency to build up on the inside of the grill lid and could drip onto the deck or patio when the lid is opened. Visually inspect the inside of the grill lid before each grill use. Remove any grease and wash with a mild soap and warm water solution.
Annual Cleaning of the Grill Interior
Burning-off excess food after every cookout will keep it ready for instant use. We recommend you periodically give the entire grill a thorough cleaning to minimize your risk of grease fire and keep the grill in good shape. Follow these steps:
1. Turn all burner valves to the "OFF" position.
2. Turn the LP gas tank valve to the "OFF" position.
3. Disconnect the regulator assembly from the gas tank. Inspect the hose for cracking, cuts or any other damage, and replace as necessary. Refer to the Parts List in this Operator's
Nanual.
4. Remove and clean the cooking grates, heat diffusers, warming rack, burners, and grease tray.
5. Cover each gas valve orifice with aluminum foil.
6. Brush the inside and bottom of the grill with a fiber pad or nylon brush and wash with a mild soap and warm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and let dry.
7. Remove aluminum foil from orifices and check each orifice for obstruction.
8. Replace the burners, ensuring the burners fit down over each valve orifice.
]8
9. Check and clean each electrode tip. Adjust the spacing between the tips and the burner as necessary. The space between the electrode tip and burner should be approximately 3/16".
10. Replace the heat diffusers, grates, warming rack, and grease tray.
11. Reconnect the gas source and observe the burner flame for correct operation.
Cleaning Exterior Surfaces:
Cleaning Exterior Surfaces:
Wash with a mild dish soap and warm water solution. A cloth, soft brush, or plastic cleaning pad can be used. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces:
Wash with a mild dish soap and warm water solution. Clean and polish with a stainless steel cleaner. There are many good quality stainless steel cleaners and polishes available. Follow the manufacturer's
directions. Always polish in the direction of the lines. Do not allow dirt and grease to
accumulate. Do not use steel wool as it will scratch the surface. Do not use abrasive cleaners and scrubbers.
CAUTION:
Heat, weathering, machine oils used in the manufacturing of stainless steel, and dirt can
all cause exterior stainless steel surfaces to
turn tan in color. In addition, the following
products and naturally occurring substances in the outdoors will damage all stainless steel
finishes. Use caution so they will not come in
contact with your grill. Immediately wash
them off and dry the stainless steel should they ever come in contact with your gas grill. They include, but are not limited to, pool
chemicals (chlorine and bromine), lawn
fertilizer, ice melting salts, sea or salt water,
urine, bird droppings, and tree sap.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in injury. Keep grill area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
Do not obstruct the flow of air for combustion and ventilation. Keep the ventilation openings of the tank
enclosure cabinet free and clear of debris.
Page 19
ToreducethechanceofFLASHBACK FIRE you must
clean the burner tubes as follows periodically in summer and fall, wherever spiders are active in your area, and if your grill has not been used for an extended period of time.
1. Turn all burner control knobs to the "OFF" position.
2. Turn the LP gas tank valve to the "OFF" position.
3. Disconnect the LP gas regulator assembly from the LP gas tank.
4. Remove the cooking grates, heat tents, and warming rack from the grill.
5. Remove the screw from the rear of each burner
using a Phillips head screwdriver.
6. Carefully lift each burner up and away from the gas valve orifice.
7. Check and clean burner tubes for insects and
insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the grill.
8. Use one of these three cleaning methods:
METHOD 1: Bend a stiff wire or wire coat hanger into a small hook as shown and run the hook through the burner tube and inside the
burner several times to remove debris.
METHOD 2: Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle and run the brush through the burner
tube and inside the burner several times to
remove any debris.
METHOD 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. Always wear eye
protection if using this method.
Figure 1
TO CLEAN BURNER TUBE. Burner Ports
Regardless of the burner cleaning procedure you use, we recommend you also complete the following steps to help prolong burner life.
1. Use a fiber pad or nylon brush to clean the entire outer surface of each burner until free of food
residue and dirt.
2. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire, such as an open paper clip.
3. Inspect each burner for damage (cracks or holes) and if such damage is found, order and install a new burner. After installation, check to ensure that the gas valve orifices are correctly placed inside the ends of the burner tubes. Also check the position of your electrodes.
4. Never enlarge the burner ports during cleaning.
For safe operation ensure the gas valve assembly orifice is inside the burner tube before using your grill. See figure. If the orifice is not inside the burner tube, lighting the burner may cause explosion and/or fire resulting in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
Orifice Burn _r Tube
Gas Valve Assembly
Small insects, such as spiders, are able to access the burner tubes. Sometimes they will build nests or spin webs. In either case, this can block or reduce the amount of gas flowing through the burner. You will usually see a smaller flame, or a flame that is mostly yellow rather than blue, coming from the burner when this happens. Other signs include the gill not heating evenly, not reaching temperature, or burners not igniting. In cases with severe blockage, this can cause the flame to burn backwards, and outside of the burner tubes, which can cause damage to your grill and/or personal injury.
IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE FLOW OF GAS AT THE LP TANK OR NATURAL GAS VALVE SHOULD THIS HAPPEN. Wait for the grill to cool, and then
clean all burners.
BURNER FLAMES
Always inspect the burner flame after lighting. A good flame should be primarily blue with a yellow tip and have a minimum amount of noise. Some yellow tips are OK if under one inch. New burners sometimes have oil residue, which will cause yellow flame when burning off. Variations in gas supply, altitude, weather, and other factors can all impact burner performance. Older grills can also show more yellow flame as food deposits, oils, and fats can build up.

Burn-Off
Some of the new parts of your grill could have
residual oils. We recommend you ignite the burners,
turn to "Hi", and lower the lid for 3 to 5 minutes to
burn any oils off before grilling for the first time. CAUTION= Operating your grill on the "Hi" setting for longer than fifteen minutes may damage certain
parts of your grill.
Preheating
To preheat, light your grill on "Hi", lower the lid, and follow this timetable: for high temperature cooking, preheat grill 3 to 5 minutes; for low temperature cooking, preheat grill 3 minutes. Preheating is not necessary to slow cook.
Cooking Temperature
High Setting: The "Hi" control knob setting should
only be used to sear some meats, pro-heat your grill the first 3-Sminutes and for burning food residue off the grill for 3-5 minutes after cooking is complete. Never use the "Hi" setting for extended cooking.
Medium to Low Settings: Most recipes specify
medium to low settings, including all smoking and rotisserie cooking, lean cuts of meat, chicken, and fish.
An Important Note About Cooking Temperature
The outside grilling area is not the controlled environment that your indoor kitchen is. Many variables can impact the cooking performance of your grill, including outside air temperature, wind, humidity, and altitude. Allow more cooking time for cold, wind, and higher altitudes. We recommend you place the grill in an area protected from wind.
Monitor your grill closely and rotate foods as needed to prevent overcooking and ensure the most delicious results every time. Experimenting makes grilling more fun and interesting! The middle and back primary cooking areas offer the highest heat for searing and grilling. The warming rack offers medium heat for preparing breads and firm vegetables like potatoes and corn and keeping food warm. The front primary cooking area offers less heat and is ideal for preparing delicate foods and also for keeping cooked foods warm.
Direct Cooking
The direct cooking method is used when food is placed directly over the lit grill burners. This method is ideal for searing, grilling, deep frying and whenever you want foods to have an open-flame barbecued taste. The lid can be open or closed depending on your preference.
Indirect Cooking
The indirect cooking method is used for most foods.
Do not place the food directly over a burner to use this method. Instead, the food should be placed on the left or right side of your grill with the burner lit on the opposite side or in the center with the center burners off. Indirect cooking must be done
with the lid down.
Prepare Cooking Grates for Grilling
Greasing the cooking surface will help keep foods from sticking and reduce the amount of cleanup required. Use a brush to apply a thin layer of
cooking oil or vegetable shortening onto each cooking grate. We do not suggest spray type oils
unless they are specified for high-temperature cooking. Be sure to coat the entire cooking surface including edges and any areas with chipped porcelain.
Flare-Ups
The fats and juices dripping from grilled food can
cause flare-ups. Flare-ups work to color and flavor your foods, so some flare-ups are preferred. Too many can work against you though. Reduce flare-ups by trimming away excess fat, using the indirect method of grilling, and grilling using lower temperatures.
Using the Back Burner (If Equipped)
The back burner is used when cooking with a
rotisserie, which is sold separately. Please follow the points below when using the back burner.
1. Always remove the warming rack.
2. Do not use the main burners when the back burner is in use.
3. Use an aluminum foil pan to catch the juices
that drip down from the food.
Allowing grease to gather in the bottom of the firebox could create a grease fire the next
time the main burners are used.
20
Never line the bottom of the firebox with aluminum foil, sand or any substance that will
restrict the flow of grease into the grease tray
or cup.
Before each use, pull out the grease tray and remove all grease and food debris to prevent a
grease fire hazard. Your grill will get very hot. Always wear a flame retardant BBO Mitt when cooking on your grill. Never lean over cooking areas while using grill. Do not touch cooking surfaces, lid, grill
housing or other parts while grill is in operation, or until the grill has cooled down after use.

Question:
Can T convert my gas grill from one fuel type to another, such as LP to NG (natural gas) or vice versa?
Answer:
Yes, a conversion kit is available for purchase.
Refer to page 6.
Question:
Are the serial and model numbers of my grill listed somewhere for reference?
Answer:
The serial and model numbers are listed on a silver CSA label placed on the grill. Depending on
the grill model, the silver CSA label generally will
be located inside the right door of the cart.
Question:
My grill will not light properly, Why?
Answer:
Check these possibilities:
1. The gas supply is turned off at the LP tank. Turn on the gas at the LP tank.
2. Your LP tank is out of propane.
3. The regulator is not properly seated in the tank valve. Remove and reattach. Hand
tighten only.
4. Crimped fuel supply hose. Inspect and straighten.
5. Regulator failure or damaged hose assembly. Inspect and order a replacement part. Do not use your grill if you find a damaged hose assembly.
6. Gas not getting to the burners. Inspect the burners under the control panel to be sure they are aligned with the valve orifices.
7. Blockage in the gas system. Tnspect burners and valve orifices for blockages, such as spider webs, insects, etc. Clean as necessary.
Question:
My electronic ignition is not working.
Answer:
Listen to hear the electronic igniter clicking. If not, check these possibilities:
1. Replace the AA battery. Ensure the "+" end is facing up and out.
2. Ensure the battery is centered and fits into the battery holder properly.
3. Be sure the wires are all attached to the electronic ignition assembly behind the
control panel and the individual electrodes.
4. [nspect the electrodes to be sure they are not coated with grease or dirt. [f so, clean with
rubbing alcohol.
If you hear a clicking sound, then:
1. Inspect the electrodes to be sure they are not
coated with grease and dirt. Clean with rubbing alcohol.
2. Inspect the distance from the electrode to the burner. It should be 1/8 to 1/4 inch from the main burner and 1/8 to 3/16 inch from the side burner.
Question:
Sometimes Z hear a humming sound coming from my regulator. What causes
this?
Answer:
The humming sound is gas flowing through the
regulator. This is more likely to occur in periods of high gas flow. A low volume of sound is normal and will not interfere with the operation of your grill.
Question:
My grill has a low flame on some burners, or some burners will not light at all. What
can cause this?
Answer
This can be caused by the flow limiting device,
which is generally triggered by a sudden change in pressure. Opening the tank valve too fast or shutting the burners off using the tank valve can
cause this. To reset:
1. Close the LP tank valve and disconnect the regulator assembly from the tank.
2. Let the LP tank sit for 10 minutes.
3. Open all burner control knobs, including the side burner, to "Hi" at the same time.
4. Close all burner control knobs.
5. Reconnect the gas regulator to the LP tank.
6. Follow the burner lighting procedures and light the burner farthest from the LP tank.
22
Page 23
Question:
Where do Z use my grill for safer operation and better performance?
Answer:
Strong winds and low temperatures can affect the heating and performance of your gas grill so factor in these elements when positioning your grill outdoors for cooking.
Use your grill at least 3 feet away from any wall
or surface.
Use your grill at least 3 feet away from
combustible objects that can melt or catch fire
(such as vinyl or wood siding, fence and
overhangs) or sources of ignition including pilot
lights on water heaters and live electrical
appliances.
Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed, breezeway or any other enclosed area.
Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air around
your gas grill housing.
Question:
The Regulator and Hose supplied with my gas grill does not fit the older LP Gas Tank I've used for years, Why not?
Answer:
The U.S. Government regulates gas appliances
and LP gas tanks. When regulations are changed the LP gas tank fittings are altered to insure compliance. If your LP gas tank does not fit the regulator and hose assembly supplied with your new grill, then the tank is outdated and must be replaced. Note: Effective April 1, :_002 all LP gas tanks sold must include an
"OPD" Overfill Prevention Device. The OPD
tanks are identified by their triangular-shaped valve wheel. This internal device prevents the LP gas tank from being overfilled. Tanks without an OPD valve can no longer be refilled.
Question:
Can Z clean parts of my grill, such as the cooking grates and heat diffusers, in a self-cleaning oven?
Answer:
No. You should not clean any part of your grill in a self-cleaning oven.
Question:
What can T do to keep my cast iron grates from rusting?
Answer:
Cast iron grates do require special care. We recommend you first season new grates. Wash new grates with dishwashing liquid, rinse, and dry completely with a soft cloth. Never wash
them in a dishwasher. We recommend you use a
solid vegetable shortening over the grates to season them the first time. Spread a thin coating with a paper towel over the entire surface, corners, and edges. Preheat your grill to 500 degrees. Turn half your burners to "LOW" and half "OFF", and place grates in the firebox for about an hour. Shut offall burners and allow the grates to cool. We recommend you coat the grates with a liquid vegetable oil before each use. We do not suggest spray type oils unless they are specified for high temperature cooking.
Question:
Zs it safe to clean my porcelain coated cooking grates in the dishwasher?
Answer:
No. You should not clean any grill parts in your Dishwasher. We recommend you clean all parts
of your grill, including the cooking grates, by
hand.
