[] 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.

For safe operation ensure the Gas Valve Assem- bly 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.

LPG grill models must be used with Liquid Propane Gas and the regulator assembly

supplied. Natural Gas models must be used with Natural Gas only. Any attempt to convert the grill from one fuel type to another is extremely

hazardous and will void the warranty.

• 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.

Never disconnect the gas regulator or any gas

fitting while your grill is lit. A lit grill can ignite

leaking gas and cause a fire or explosion which could result in property damage, personal injury

or death. Keep gas regulator hose away from hot

grill surfaces and dripping grease. Avoid unnecessary twisting of hose. Visually inspect

hose prior to each use for cuts, cracks, excessive wear or other damage. If the hose

appears damaged do not use the gas grill. Call Sears at 1-800-4-MY-HOME _ (1-800-469-4663)

Perform this Electrode Check with the

assistance of another person.

This test will ensure that the Spark Electrode Tips are properly positioned so your grill lights easily

and properly.

Spring

[] Be sure all Control Knobs are set to

"OFF" and open the Grill Lid.

[] Have your assistant stand behind to the

right of the grill and look toward the front of the grill bowl. Never put your face

inside the Grill Bowl.

[] Press the Ignitor Cap. You should hear

a "clicking" sound. Your assistant should see a blue spark within each Gas Collector Box. If a spark is present the

Electrode Tips are properly positioned.

[] If no spark is seen, the Spark Gap

needs to be adjusted as follows:

• Using an adjustable wrench, loosen the inside Nut until the Gas Collector Box can

be turned upward.

• If the gap between the Spark Elec-

trode Tip and Receiver is more than 3/16" use long nose pliers to gently squeeze the Gas Collector Box to narrow gap.

• Return the Gas Collector Box to its

original position, secure the inside Nut and try the Electrode Check again. If no "clicking" sound is heard:

• AA Batteries may be installed back- wards.

• Electric wires may be loose. Remove the AA Batteries and inspect the

ignitor Junction Box found behind the

Control Panel and reconnect any loose wires.

Side Burner Electrode Check [] Open side burner lid. Remove plastic

shipping band from burner and pot support.

[] Push and turn side burner Control Knob

to HIGH. Look for spark between tip of electrode and burner.

[] If you don't see a spark from side burner elec-

trode, adjust gap between electrode and burner surface to 3/16 in.

When you have finished assembling your grill be sure that all screws are tightened

for safe operation of your grill.

Failure to read and follow the Use and Care

Instructions could result in a fire or explosion that could cause serious bodily injury, death or property damage.

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 gdll. 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 overfilled 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 Cylin- ders 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, terminat-

ing 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.

[] Use of alcohol or drugs may impair the ability to

assemble and operate the appliance.

[] 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.

[] Never use charcoal in this gas grill.

[] 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 Parts List.

[] 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. [] 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.

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.

NOTE about LP Gas Tank Exchange Programs

• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of replacing your empty LP Gas tank through an ex- change 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 Gas 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 LP Gas tank is exchanged or refilled.

• When checking for gas leaks do not smoke.

• 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. Damage to gas assembly components can result.

[] Screw the Wing Bolt and Special Nut to Cart

Bottom Shelf.

[] Turn your LP Gas Tank Valve clockwise to the

closed or OFF positon.

[] Place LP Gas tank into tank hole on bottom shelf

or (on select models) slide the Tank Tray out of the cabinet until it is fully extended. The Tank Tray has an auto lock position and may need to be pulled firmly.

[] install the tank so the Tank Valve faces the front

BEFORE rotisserie cooking you will need to remove the Cooking Grid(s) and possibly the Savor Plates ®

from your grill. When rotisserie cooking place a Cooking Pan under the food to be cooked. This will capture the drippings and keep your grill clean of excess grease which could cause a fire. Use caution when moving a Cooking Pan containing hot oils.

10. Replace Savor Plates ® and Cooking Grids.

Proper care and maintenance will keep your grill in top operating condition and prolong its life. Follow these cleaning procedures on a timely basis and your grill will stay clean and operate with minimum effort. CAUTION: Be sure your grill is OFF and cool before cleaning.

Cleaning The Cooking Grids

[] Before initial use, and periodically, wash your

Cooking Grids in a mild soap and warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or vegetable brush to clean your Cooking Grids.

Cleaning The Savor Plates ®

[] Periodically you should wash the Savor Plates ®

in a soap and warm water solution. Use a vegetable brush to remove stubborn burnt-on cooking residue. Dry the Savor Plates _"_thoroughly before you reinstall them into the cooking bowl.

Cleaning The Grease Tray and Receptacle

[] To reduce the chance of fire, the Grease Draining

Tray and Grease Receptacle (some models) should be visually inspected before each grill use. Remove any grease and wash Grease Tray and Receptacle 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 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.

Regular Cleaning of The Grill Interior

[] Burning-off excess food after every cookout will

keep it ready for instant use. However,at least every 3 months you must give the entire grill a thorough cleaning to minimize your risk of grease fire and keep the grill in top shape. Follow these steps:

Turn all Burner Valves to the full OFF position.1.

Turn the LP gas tank valve to the full OFF position.For Natural Gas shut off valve.

Disconnect the regulator from the gas tank. Inspect the hose with regulator assembly for cracking, cuts or any other damage, and replace as neccessary. Refer to the Parts List in this Operator's Manual.

Remove and clean the Savor Plates ®, Cooking Grids, Cooking Rack and Grill Burners.

Cover each Gas Valve Orifice with aluminum foil.

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.

Remove aluminum foil from Orifices and check

each Orifice for obstruction.

Check each Spark Electrode, adjusting as needed. The space between the Spark Electrode Tip and Spark Receiver should be approximately 3/16".

Replace the Burners and adjust the Gas Collector Box. The edge of the collector box should be overlapping the Burner Port.

11. Reconnect the gas source and observe the Burner flame for correct operation.

Cleaning Exterior Surfaces:

Before initial use, and periodically thereafter, we suggest you wash your grill using a mild soap and

warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or sponge for this process. Do not use a stiff wire or

brass brush. These will scratch stainless steel and chip painted surfaces (varies by model) during the

cleaning process.

Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces:

Weathering and extreme heat can cause exterior stainless steel surfaces to turn tan in color. Machine

oils used in the manufacturing process of stainless steel can also cause this tanning color. After remov- ing any protective PVC film from the Grill Lid and Control Panel use a Stainless Steel Cleaner to polish the stainless steel surfaces of your grill. Never use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers because they will scratch and damage your grill. Follow these steps for

the best results.

Turn the LP Gas tank valve (clockwise) to the full

OFF position. Disconnect the regulator and hose

assembly from LP Gas tank. For Natural Gas shut

off valve and disconnect the NG regulator and hose

from valve. Cover exposed gas fitting with aluminum foil.

2. Remove dirt or grease using a soft cloth and polish stainless surfaces. Wipe with a soft cloth.

Remove aluminum foil from exposed gas fitting and allow grill to air dry before attaching the regulator and hose to your LP Gas tank, or

attaching the regulator and hose to Natural Gas valve.

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.

After completing each burner lighting procedure visually check burner flame pattern as shown below.

1. Turn all Burner Valves to the full OFF position.

Regardless of which 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. Turn the LP Gas tank valve to the full OFF position.

3. Detach the LP Gas regulator assembly from your gas grill.

4. F_BITEM_thBagc_Jng(_tids, S_IvCrF_65F and Grease Trays from your grill.

5. Remove the screws 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/venturi tubes for insects

and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the grill.

8. Refer to Figure 1 and perform 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.

2. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire, such as an open paper clip.

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 Spark Electrode.

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 result- ing in serious bodily injury and/or property

damage.

Burn-Off

[] Before cooking on your gas grill for the first time, you

should "burn off" the grill to eliminate any odor or foreign matter. Ignite the burners, lower the Lid, and

operate grill on HIGH setting for 3 to 5 minutes.

CAUTION: Operating ALL main burners on HIGH

setting for longer than five minutes may damage certain parts of your grill. Do not leave your grill unat

tended when in use.

Preheating [] To preheat, light your grill on HIGH, 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.

• To slow cook, preheating is not necessary.

Cooking Temperatures

[] High setting: The HIGH Control Knob setting should

only be used to pre-heat your grill the first 3-5 minutes and for burning food residue off the grill for 3-5 minutes after cooking is complete. CAUTION: Operating ALL main burners on HIGH setting

for longer than five minutes may damage certain parts

of your grill. Do not leave your grill unattended when in use.

IndirectCooking [] The indirect cooking method can also be used with

the supplied Cooking Grids. To cook indirectly, the food should be placed on the left or right side of your

grill with the Burner lit on the opposite side. Or place

your food on the Secondary Cooking Rack and light

the outer grill Burners. Either way, indirect cooking

must be done with the Lid down.

Prepare Cooking Grids for Grilling

[] Greasing the cooking surface will help keep foods

from sticking during the cookout and reduces the amount of cleanup required. Use a brush to apply a thin layer of cooking oil or vegetable shortening onto each Cooking Grid before each cookout. 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. Since flare-ups impart a favorably, distinctive taste and color to food cooked over an

open flame, they should be accepted up to a point. To minimize flare-ups use a drip pan under foods that produce a lot of grease, like ribs.

[] Medium to Low Settings: Most recipes specify

medium to low settings, including all smoking, rotisserie cooking and cooking lean cuts such as fish.

An Important Note About Cooking Temperatures

[] The suggested heat settings and cooking times

shown in the following pages are approximate. Unlike the controlled environment inside your kitchen, variables including outside temperatures, direction and conditions of wind, as well as grill location will affect your grill's heat distribution. Because these condition vary, and no two backyards are alike, we offer this guide as a convenience. We recommend you monitor your grill closely and rotate foods as needed to prevent overcooking and ensure the most delicious results every time.

• The middle and back primary cooking areas offer the highest heat for searing and grilling.

• The Secondary Cooking Rack offers medium heat for preparing breads and firm vegetables like potatoes

and corn.

• The front primary cooking area offers less heat and is ideal for preparing delicate foods and for keeping

cooked foods warm.

DirectCooking [] The direct cooking method can be used with the

supplied Cooking Grids and food placed directly over the lit grill Burners. Direct Cooking requires the Grill

Lid to be open. This method is ideal for searing,

grilling, deep frying and whenever you want foods to

have an open-flame barbecued taste.

• Failure to comply with these instructions could result in a fire or explosion that could cause serious bodily injury, death or property damage.

• Never cover the cooking grids, bottom of grill bowl or Grease/Water Tray with charcoal, aluminum foil, sand or any substance that can absorb grease.

• Before each use of your grill: Pull out the Grease/ Water Tray and remove all grease and food debris to prevent grease fire hazard. It is important to keep this Tray filled with water while grilling to get the best possible results. Wear a flame retardant BBQ Mitt

when handling the Grease/Water Tray.

• Use your grill at least 5 feet away from any

wall or surface. Use your grill at least 5 feet

• Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed, breezeway or any other enclosed area.

• Your grill will get very hot. Always wear a flame retardant BBQ Mitt when cooking on your grill and handling the Grease/Water Tray. Never lean over cooking areas while using grill. Do not touch cooking surfaces, Lid, grill housing or other parts while grill in operation, or until the grill has cooled down after use. Be aware that the Tray does contain water and grease and be extremely careful when removing to prevent spillage.

basting sauce if desired. To cook indirectly, the food should be placed on the left or right side of your grill with the Burner lit on the opposite side and the grill lid down. Or center your food on the Secondary Cooking Rack and light the outer grill Burners. Either way, indirect cooking

must be done with the Lid down.

In some instances, you may want to grill vegetables and fruit directly over the heat, using the supplied Cooking Grids. Foods that work best with direct heat are relatively soft and require a short cooking time: mushrooms, zucchini, tomatoes and skewered fruit such as apricots, peaches, pineapple, strawberries and kiwis. Remember the Grill Lid must remain up when cooking directly.

For very firm vegetables--particularly potatoes and yams, we recommend that you partially boil until almost cooked, before placing them on the grill. Cooking times using the

indirect method with the lid down will be similar to those for your kitchen oven. However, there are many factors

such as outside temperature, wind conditions and location of grill that affect your grill performance so we suggest you watch the temperature gauge and adjust the heat accordingly.

Cooking times for foods prepared with the direct method will be much shorter mainly because of the direct heat source and softness of the food. Timing will be compa- rable to normal pan frying or grilling.

An Important Note About Heat Settings

The suggested heat settings shown are approximate. There are many factors such as outside temperature,

wind conditions and grill location that affect your grill

performance. We offer these cooking times as a conve- nience, but suggest you watch the temperature gauge and

adjust the heat accordingly.

Preparing to Roast

Roasting uses the indirect cooking method. Therefore, the

food should be placed on the left or right side of your grill with the Burner lit on the opposite side. You can also use

the supplied Cooking Grid with an aluminum drip pan underneath allowing you to collect juices for making

gravies. Remember, indirect cooking requires the Lid of your grill to be down.

Preheating your grill is not required for slow cooking methods such as roasting. If you do choose to preheat your grill before roasting, turn the Burners on HiGH and close Lid

for approximately 2-3 minutes.

Type of Food How Cooked Approximate Cooking Times

Beef Rare 18 minutes per pound

Food preparation

Trim meat of excess fat. Truss meat and poultry with cooking string to retain shape if desired. Bacon strips can

be used to cover the outside surface of lean meat and poultry to help prevent it from drying out. Another method

for keeping food moist during roasting is to put water in a cooking pan, then cover with foil. The foil should be removed for the first or the last part of the cooking time to

ensure proper browning. Tips for roasting

Except when roasting with water in a roasting pan, the juices that collect in the pan can be used as the base for a tasty sauce or graw. Place a cooking pan directly over the heat, add extra butter if needed, then add several spoon- fuls of flour to thicken sauce. Finally, add sufficient chicken or beef stock to obtain the desired consistency.

Once the meat is cooked, remove it from your grill and cover with a piece of foil. Allow it to stand for 10-15

minutes which allows the juices to settle. This will make carving easier and ensure a tender, juicy roast.

BAKING TECHNIQUES

From casseroles and combread to delicious desserts like

fondue fruit skewers or crumb cake, baking on the grill is as easy as baking in the kitchen.

Preparing to Bake

To bake in your new grill you'll need a baking dish or cast- iron cooking pan, and a pair of flame retardant BBQ Mitts. If

the cooking pan is cast-iron be sure to season the pan before use.

Preheat your grill 3-5 minutes, then lower heat to achieve the baking temperature desired. Baking uses the indirect cooking method. Therefore, your cooking pan should be

Oven Temperature Slow 300 ° - 340 ° F

Moderate 355 ° - 390 ° F High 410 ° - 480 ° F

placed on the left or right side of your grill with the burner lit on the opposite side.

Tips for Baking

Prepare your favorite recipe as you would in the kitchen. Foods cooked in the grill for long periods of time should always be covered in aluminum foil to retain moisture. You

will need to stir the food several times as it bakes, and add

additional liquid if required.

Watch the temperature, and adjust to cook according to

your recipe directions.

Slow Cooking with a Rotisserie Rotisserie cooking produces foods that are moist,

flavorful and attractive. The optional rotisserie system

is most commonly used for cooking meat or poultry and is designed to cook food slowly. You can place a

cooking pan beneath the food to collect juices for basting and gravy. To flavor the contents of the cooking

pan you may add herbs, onions, or other spices of your choice.

The cooking times on a rotisserie will be approximately the same as for oven cooking.

Balancingthe Food

In rotisserie cooking, balancing the food is of utmost importance. The rotisserie must turn evenly or the

stopping and starting action will cause the food to cook unevenly and possibly burn the heavier side.

The easiest foods to balance are those of uniform shape and texture. To test if the food is balanced

correctly when secured, place the ends of the rotis- serie spit loosely in the palms of your hands. If there is no tendency to roll, give the spit a quarter turn. If it is still stable, give it a final quarter turn. It should rest

without turning in each of these positions. It can then

be attached to your grill.

Food Preparation When preparing poultry, truss the birds tightly so that

wings and drumsticks are close to the body of the bird.

The cavity of the bird may be stuffed prior to this. Pull the neck skin down and, using a small skewer, fix it to the

back of the bird. Push the rotisserie spit through length- wise, catching the bird in the fork of the wishbone. Center the bird and tighten with the holding forks. Test the

balance as described before.

Preparing to Smoke Smoking gives food a distinctive, delicious flavor. You will

find a variety of wood chips available for use in smoking grilled foods. Pre-soaking of wood chips may be re-

quired so read and follow the manufacturers instructions for preparing smoking chips prior to use.

Note: It is our experience that many smoking chip

products do not actually produce a smoke but instead infuses the food with flavor. Please read product labels carefully and if in doubt, ask your retailer for details.

Using A Smoker Box There are many optional smoker boxes available for

purchase. Follow these guidelines and always refer to the label of your smoking chips for specific directions.

Raise your Grill Lid and light the grill. Lower the Grill Lid allowing your grill to reach the desired cooking tempera- ture for the food you are grilling. Fill your smoker box with your prepared smoking chips. Dried herbs and spices may also be added to produce different flavors. Wear a

flame retardant BBQ Mitt and place your smoker box on a Cooking Grid or Savor Plate® directly above a lit grill

Burner. The heated smoking chips will flavor your foods.

Tips for Smoking

You can reduce the strength of the smoke flavor by only smoking for half or three quarters of the cooking time. The heat required for smoking is normally LOW to

MEDIUM.

Foods naturally high in oils lend themselves well to smoking, while drier foods benefit from a marinade.

A rolled piece of meat requires the rotisserie skewer to be

inserted through the center of the length of meat, then

secured and balanced.

For meats that contain bones, it is best to secure the

rotisserie skewer diagonally through the meaty sections. If

protruding bones or wings brown too quickly, cover with

pieces of foil.

• Tuna steaks, marinated in Asian flavors of sesame oil, soy sauce and sherry.

• Pork fillets, rubbed with ginger, orange rind and brushed with maple syrup.

• Mussels, brushed with lemon rind and chili oil.

• Lamb cutlets, marinated in virgin olive oil, lemon, oregano and black pepper. The same marinade can be used for a whole leg or rack of lamb.

• Chicken, boneless chicken pieces--especially sliced breasts.

• Fish, sliced fillets of firm fish, assorted seafood such as prawns, scallops and calamari.

• Pork, sliced fillets, diced or minced pork, sliced leg steak, sliced chops.

• Beef, sliced fillet, rib-eye, round, rump, sirloin.

• Lamb, sliced fillet, round, loin.

STIR-FRYING TECHNIQUES

This method of cooking is popular around the world and

can be easily accomplished outdoors on your gas grill. It's a quick and healthful way of preparing a complete meal using meat, poultry or seafood in infinite combinations

with other interesting ingredients like vegetables, rice or

noodles.

DEEP-FRYING TECHNIQUES

A wide variety of foods can be deep-fried outdoors on

your grill, from potatoes, to seafood and chicken. Deep-

frying uses a large portion of oil, preferably saturated.

The outdoor location is ideal for deep-frying as smoke, grease and smells disperse in the open air instead of

collecting on the ceiling of your kitchen.

Preparing to Stir-fry

Although it is possible to stir fry in other dishes, a wok is

your best tool. Its high sides enable the cook to stir food

without spillage. Its construction allows you to cook quickly

at high temperatures, with instant control of heat which is essential for successful stir frying.

Food preparation Slice meat and poultry into long thin strips and cube fish

fillets. Remove all fat from meat and poultry and cut large vegetables into even slices or cubes.

Marinate foods for extra flavor and tenderness. Marinating

times will vary for red meat, fish and or various cuts. Less tender cuts of meat should be marinated longer. Remem-

ber to always chili marinating food in the refrigerator prior

to cooking.

Stir-fry meats, poultry or fish first. Next, add hard veg- etables like carrots. Then continue with softer vegetables like snowpeas and peppers. To ensure even cooking, continually stir and toss the food in the wok using a

wooden spoon or spatula.

Tips for Stir-frying

Place a wok on a Cooking Grid or Side Burner directly over a HIGH heat . Add only a small amount of food at a time to ensure fast cooking and also to allow the wok

to reheat between ingredients.

Preparing to Deep-fry

Deep-fry on your grill using a cooking pan or wok, over direct heat.

Fill a cooking pan no more than half full of vegetable or corn oil. Start with LOW heat, then raise the heat gradu-

ally. Check the temperature of the oil carefully with a

frying thermometer or test with a cube of bread. The

cube of bread should brown in about 30 seconds for most cooking needs. A temperature between 350 and

400 degrees is optimal for preparing the majority of

deep-fried foods.

Food Preparation

Foods being deep-fried taste better when coated with either batter or breadcrumbs to add flavor and prevent

moisture from escaping.

Tips for Deep-frying

Wear a flame retardant BBQ Mitt and slowly lower

foods into the hot oil using a wire scoop or stainless

steel tongs. Add only a small quantity of food to the oil, allow it to cook, then repeat with another small

quantity. This ensures the oil doesn't drop in tem- perature. Once the food is cooked, remove it carefully and drain onto a paper towel. Turn the heat off as soon as you have finished deep-frying and allow your pan to cool. When the oil is cool, remove all rem- nants of fried foods by straining it through a fine

metal sieve, and store it in a clean bottle for future use.

Vegetables are generally easy to cook on the grill. The

Cooking Rack makes it convenient because you can still use the main cooking area while the vegetables are

suspended above the grids.

Pre-cook hard vegetables by briefly boiling or

microwaving them before cooking on the grill. Wrap vegetables in a double thickness of foil to protect them while cooking on the grill. Then, remove the foil if desired,

10-15 minutes before the end of cooking, brush veg- etables with butter or oil and finish cooking.

The Cooking Rack can be used for purposes other than

just the obvious. Consider using the rack for warming

French bread, garlic bread, croissants or even bagels.

A small whole fish wrapped in foil also cooks well on the

Cooking Rack. Parcels of seafood such as scallops, prawns and sliced fish fillets prepared in a sauce and portioned into small foil wraps cook well this way, too.

Anything you enjoy cooking indoors can be

prepared outdoors as well. These optional

grill accessories make it easy to enjoy your new Kenmore Premium or Kenmore Elite grill as an

outdoor kitchen.

Rotisserie cooking produces foods that are moist and

flavorful because the slowly rotated food self-bastes to

seal in meat's natural juices. Use a Rotisserie Kit to slow cook foods using the indirect cooking method or an infrared back burner, a feature available on some models.

Question:

Can I convert my grill from one fuel type to another in other words from LPG to NG or vice versa?

Answer:

No, your gas grill is manufactured to exact specifications

and is certified for LPG (Liquid Propane Gas) or NG (Natural Gas) use only. For your safety, conversion kits are not available, nor will we sell or otherwise provide parts or information to be used to convert your grill. Any attempt to convert your grill is dangerous and will void your warranty.

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 will be located on the left or right side bowl panel underneath the side shelf, underneath the right side of the control panel, outside left or right of control panel or on the back of the grill

cabinet.

Question:

My grill will not light properly. Why?

Answer:

Try this procedure:

1. Turn gas off at source and turn Control Knobs OFF. Wait at least 5 minutes for gas to clear, then retry.

2. If your grill still fails to light, turn the Burner Control Knob(s) and gas source OFF and conduct a leak test

of ALL gas connections and gas sources as

explained in the Use and Care section of this manual.

3. If no leaks are detected, wait 5 minutes for any gas to clear and repeat the lighting procedure.

Question:

If my ignitor or battery is not working how can I light

my grill manually? And - Why would I need the silver

lighting stick that hangs from the side of my grill?

Answer:

If your ignition fails to work or your battery needs

replacing, you can light your grill through the Lighting Hole on the side of the grill bowl using the Manual

Lighting Stick that hangs from the side of your grill. The Lighting Stick is designed to hold a paper match and

allows you to safely insert a match through the Lighting Hole without getting close to the Burner. Never remove the Cooking Grids and attempt to light the grill from above. To light your gas grill manually, insert a paper match into the Manual Lighting Stick and follow steps 1 through 6 of the Basic Lighting Procedures. Then, light

the match and place it through the Lighting Hole on the left side of the grill (location of hole varies by grill model). Turn the nearest main Burner Control Knob to

the High setting to release gas. The Burner should light immediately.

Question:

Sometimes I hear a humming sound coming from my

regulator, What causes this? And- My grill has a low flame and sometimes will not light, Why?

Answer:

The humming sound is gas flowing through the

regulator. A low volume of sound is normal and will not

interfere with the operation of your grill. Loud or

excessive regulator humming and/or low flow and

intermittent lighting may be caused by the regulator's excess gas flow device. Opening the tank valve all the way or too quickly is what triggers the regulator's safety device to restrict gas flow, preventing excess gas flow to your grill. Lighting the main Burner farthest from the fuel source every time will help eliminate air pockets in the manifold. Note: This procedure should be done every time a new LP Gas tank is connected to your grill.

[] Turn all Control Knobs to the OFF position.

[] Turn off the LP Gas tank at the tank valve.

[] Disconnect regulator from LP Gas tank. [] Let unit stand for 5 minutes.

[] Reconnect regulator to the LP Gas tank. [] Open grill Lid (or Side Burner Lid if you are lighting

the Side Burner)

[] Turn the tank valve slowly _¼ of one turn.

[] Light the left main Burner. [] Turn the tank valve slowly one more t/4 of one turn

for ½ of one complete turn.

[] Turn Knob for each other burner and light as you

move toward the fuel source.

[] Do not turn tank valve more than ½ of one turn.

Question:

Where do I 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 5 feet away from any wall or surface.

[]

Use your grill at least 5 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.

A-7

[]

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 supplied with your new grill, the tank is outdated and must be replaced. Note: Effective April 1, 2002 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 not be refilled.

Question:

Is it safe to clean my porcelain coated cooking grids in the dishwasher?

Answer:

Clean your cooking grids by hand if there are any chips or cracks in the porcelain finish and dry them thoroughly.

If no chips or cracks are present it should be safe to use the dishwasher. Remember to dry the cooking grids

thoroughly before placing back onto your grill to

minimize rusting.

Question:

What causes grill parts to rust and what affect does

it have on my grill?

Answer:

Rusting is a natural oxidation process and may

appear on cast-iron and steel parts. Rust will not affect the short term performance of your grill.

To slow the rusting process on steel Cooking Grids

(select models) we recommend greasing the Cooking Grids before and after each cookout. Use a

brush to apply a thin layer of cooking oil or vegetable shortening onto each Cooking Grid. 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.

Question:

Which is a better cooking surface to grill on;

porcelain coated steel / cast-iron cooking grids or stainless steel grids?

Answer:

They all have their advantages. For traditional grilling

and searing meats, cast-iron or steel grids offer better heat conductivity. To protect against the natural

rusting process, steel or cast-iron cooking grids offer a porcelain finish which requires routine maintenance to keep the grids well seasoned.

Stainless steel is popular with those who prefer less

maintenance.

A new innovative solution is available on select

models called Stainless Clad Therma-Core R. This Cooking Grid combines a heat conducting steel core

with an easy-to-clean stainless outer shell.
