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:

• 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.

• 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.

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 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 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.

[] 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.

[] 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.

[] 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.

• In windy 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.

NOTE: For illustration purpose,

your grill model may differ

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 exchange service. Use only those reputable exchange compa- nies 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 guide.

• 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.

Natural Gas Safety Instructions

[]

Your natural gas grill is designed to operate on natural gas only, at a pressure of 4" water column (W.C.) with natural gas regulator. The gas pres- sure Regulator supplied with this appliance must be used. This Regulator is set for an outlet pressure of 4" W.C.

Install a Shutoff Valve at the gas supply source outdoors at a point after the gas pipe exits the outside wall and before the quick-disconnect

hose. Or install it at the point before the gas line piping enters the ground. See Fig. 2.

Pipe sealing compound or pipe thread tape resistant to the action of natural gas must be used on all male pipe thread connections.

Disconnect your gas grill from fuel source when the gas supply is being tested at high pressures. This gas grill and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply pipe system during any pressure testing of that system at pressure in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5kpa).

Turn off your gas grill when the gas supply is being tested at low pressures. The grill must be isolated from the gas supply pipe system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply pipe system at pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5kpa).
