CORRECT LP GAS TANK USE
[] LP Gas grill models are designed for use with a standard
20 lb. Liquid Propane Gas (LP Gas) tank, not included
with grill. Never connect your gas grill to an LP Gas tank
that exceeds this capacity. A tank of approximately 12
inches in diameter by 18-1/2 inches 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 tank from being overfitled
which can cause malfunction of LP Gas tank, regulator
and/or 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 shutoff valve, terminating
in an 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 be arranged 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 hose and regulator assembly must
be identical to those listed in the parts list of this Use
and Care Guide as specified by the Manufacturer.
[] Have your LP Gas dealer check the release valve after every
filling to ensure it remains free of defects.
[] Always keep LP Gas tank in upright position.
[] Do not subject the LP Gas tank to excessive heat.
[] Never store an LP Gas tank indoors. If you store your gas
grill in the garage 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 doors (if applicable) 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.
[] Any attempt to convert the grill from one fuel type to
another is extremely hazardous and must be per-
formed by a qualified gas technician only, using a NG
Conversion Kit purchased from Sears.
[] 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.
[] Never allow children to operate your grill. Do not allow
children or pets to play near your grill.

[] Use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs
can impair your ability to properly assemble and
safely operate your grill.
[] Keep fire extinguisher readily accessible. In the event
of a oil/grease fire, do not attempt to extinguish with
water. Use 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 in an area
clear of combustible materials.
[] Do not leave 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.
[] The grill is not intended for commercial use.
[] Never use charcoal in this gas grill.
A. Do not store a spare LP-Gas tank under or near
this appliance.
B. Never fill the tank beyond 80 percent full; and
C. If 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.
• Outdoor cooking gas appliance shall not be used
under overhead combustible construction.
• 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.
• Inwindy conditions, always position the front of grill to
face oncoming wind to reduce smoke and heat blowing
in your face and prevent potential hazards to self and
grill.
