IF YOU SMELL GAS:

1. Shut off gas to the appliance.

2. Extinguish any open flame.

3. Open lid.

4. If odor continues, keep away from the appliance and immediately

call your gas supplier or your fire department.

1. Do not store a spare LP cylinder within 10 feet (3m) of this

appliance.

2. Do not store or use gasoline or

other flammable liquids and vapors within 25 feet (8m) of this

appliance.

3. When cooking with oil or grease, do

not allow the oil or grease to get hotter than 350°F (177°C).

4. Do not leave oil/grease unattended.

Grill Xnstallation Codes

The installation must conform with local codes

or, in the absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or CAN/CGA- B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.

All electrical accessories (such as a rotisserie or

light) must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1. Keep any electrical cords and/or fuel supply hoses away from all hot surfaces.

Failuretocomplywiththeseinstructionscould resultina fire or explosion that could cause

serious bodily injury, death or property damage. Spiders and small insects can spin webs and

nest in the grill burner tubes during transit and warehousing which can lead to a gas flow obstruction resulting in a fire in and around the

burner tubes. This type of "FLASHBACK FIRE" can cause serious grill damage and create an

unsafe operating condition for the user.

To reduce the chance of a FLASHBACK FIRE you must clean the burner tubes as follows

before initial use. Also do this at least once a

month in summer and fall or whenever spiders are active in your area, and if your gril has not been

used for an extended period of time.

1. Remove the screw from the rear of each burner using a Phillips head screwdriver.

2.Carefully lift each burner up and away from the gas valve orifice.

3.Check and clean the burner tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the grill.

4.Refer to the figure below and perform one of these 3 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 obstruction through the burner and out the ports.

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 an explosion and/or fire resulting in serious bodily

injury and/or property damage.

Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) grill models must be used with the liquid propane gas regulator assembly supplied. 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 cabinet.

Never disconnect the gas regulator assembly 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 the gas regulator hose away from any heated surface and dripping grease. Avoid unnecessary twisting of the hose. Visually inspect the 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) for a Kenmore replacement gas hose assembly.

PRE-ASSEM BLY

Read and perform the following pre-assembly instructions:

[] Tools Required for Assembly include:

• protective work gloves

• protective eyewear

• Phillips Head Screwdriver (included in hardware pack in Parts Box)

[] You will need assistance from another person to

handle the grill head and other large, heavy parts.

[]

Open lid of shipping carton and remove parts box and packing materials. Lay a cardboard sheet on floor and use as a work surface to protect floor and grill parts from scratches.

Slice all four corners with a utility knife to lay open

the carton. This allows you to remove the grill

head and components packed inside.

Use the Hardware and Part Diagrams to ensure all items are included and free of damage.

Do not assemble or operate the grill if it appears damaged. If there are damaged or missing parts when you unpack the shipping box or you have questions during the assembly process, call the:

Customer Support Center at 1-800-933-0527 8:30am-S:OOpm CST, Monday through Friday.

[] Remove any additional labels or packing material from the grill except the CSA label. Be

sure to clean all foam packing material out of all areas.

[] Please proceed to and read the remaining sections of the Operator's Manual prior to hooking

up your LP cylinder or operating your grill.

CORRECT LP GAS TANK USE

[] LP gas grill models are designed for use with a

standard 20 lb. (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 shutoff 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 a 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. If you store

your gas grill indoors, always disconnect the LPgas 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 (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 yourgrill.

[] Use of alcohol or drugs may impair the ability

to assemble and operate the appliance.

[] Keep a fire extinguisher readily accessible. In

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. 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 2 feet away from any wall or surface. Use your grill at

least 2 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 garage, porch, shed, breezeway, 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 LP gas 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 LP gas tank section of this manual.

• Always keep new and exchanged LP gas tanks inan 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.

• 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). It 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.

If growing bubbles appear do not use or move the LP gas tank. Contact an LP gas supplier or your fire department!

CAUTION: When the appliance is not in use the gas must be turned off at the tank.

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/Light 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.

g. 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 a 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 of propane valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage.

2. Always transport your cylinder in an upright position.

3. Do not smoke when transporting your cylinden

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:

[] Hake 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

Troubleshooting

If the grill fails to light:

[]

Turn gas off at source and turn control knobs to "OFF". Wait at least 5 minutes for gas to

clear, and then retry If your grill still fails to light, check the gas

supply and connections. Ensure gas supply is turned on (turn counterclockwise), there is gas in the tank, and the regulator is properly seated in the tank valve.

Repeat lighting procedure. If your grill still fails to light, turn the gas off at the source, turn the control knobs to "OFF", and check the following:

Obstruction in Gas Line Correction: Detach regulator hose assembly. Do not smoke! Open all control knobs at the same time to "High". Close all burner control knobs to "OFF" and reattach the regulator hose

assembly to the grill.

Plugged Orifice or Burner Tube Obstruction Correction; Remove burners from grill and clean following the burner cleaning instructions

later in this manual. Observe valve orifice to be sure there is no obstruction visible.

If an obstruction is suspected in Gas Valve or Manifold, call the Customer Support Center.

Misalignment of Igniter and Burner Correction: Check for proper position of the electrode tip. The gap between the electrode tip and burner should be approximately 3/16 of an inch. Adjust if necessary. With the gas supply off and all control knobs set to "OFF" press the electric igniter button and check for the presence of a spark at the electrode.

Disconnected Electric Wires Correction: Inspect the electric igniter (see

Parts List) found behind the control panel. Connect loose electric wires to ignition assembly.

Weak AA Battery Correction: Unscrew the igniter cap and replace

the battery.

Do not dispose of batteries in fire! Batteries ma'

explode or leak.

Proper care and maintenance will keep your grill in good 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, 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 Manual.

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.

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.

To reduce the chance of FLASHBACK 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.

I. 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, grease cup, and grease tray 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. Refer to FIGURE1 and 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 CtEAN _U_NE_ TUSE,

rNSE_T HOO_ AS INDICATED BYTHEA_OW

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.

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.

Gas Valve Assembly Orifice BumerTube

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.

Good Bad

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 five minutes may damage certain parts of your grill.

Preheating

[] To preheat, light your grill on "HI/LIGHT', 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, pre-heat your grill the first 3-5minutes 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: Host 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

[] 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.

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 BBq 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 1 convert my gas grill from one fuel

type to another, such as LP to NG (natural

gas) or vice versa?

Answer:

No, your gas grill is manufactured to specific standards developed by CSA and ANSI for your safety and is certified for LPG (Liquid Propane Gas) use only.

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 on the back panel 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. Inspect

burners and valve orifices for blockages, such as spider webs, insects, etc. Clean as necessary.

Questions:

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 electronic igniter button properly.

3. Be sure the wires are all attached to the electronic ignition assembly behind the

control panel and the individual electrodes.

4. Inspect the electrodes to be sure they are not coated with grease or dirt. If so, clean with rubbing alcohol.

Ifyou hear a clickingsound, then:

1.1nspect the electrodes to be sure they are not coated with grease and dirt. Clean with rubbing alcohol.

2.Inspect the distancefrom the electrode to the burner. Itshould be 118 to 114

inch from the main burner and 118 to 3116 inch from the side burner.

Question:

Sometimes I 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. S. Reconnect the gas regulator to

the LP tank.

6. Follow the burner lighting

procedures and lightthe burner

farthestfrom the LP tank.

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 2 feet away from any wall or surface.

Useyourgrillat least2feetawayfrom combustibleobjectsthatcanmeltorcatchfire (suchasvinylor 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, 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 no longer be refilled.

Question:

Is 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.

Question:

Can I clean parts of my grill, such as the cooking grates and heat tents, in a self-cleaning oven?

Answer:

No. You should not clean any part of your grill in a self-cleaning oven.

Question:

What can I 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 off all

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.
