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 1-80O-4-MY-HOME ® (1-800-469-4663)
for a Kenmore replacement hose.

Failure to read and follow the Use and Care
Instructions could result in a fire or explosion
that could cause serious bodilyinjury, 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 gdll.
[] 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 Commis-
sion, 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 pres-
sure 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
re,qulators 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 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.
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 outdoors, 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 garage, porch, shed,
breezeway or any other enclosed area.
Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air around
your gas grill housing.

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.
Turn the LP gas tank valve to the full OFF position.
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.
10. Replace Savor Plates ® and Cooking Grids.
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
removing any protective PVC film from the Grill Lid or
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.
1. Turn the LP Gas tank valve (clockwise) to the full
OFF position. Disconnect the regulator and hose
assembly from LP Gas tank. 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.
3. Remove aluminum foil from exposed gas fitting
and allow grill to air dry before attaching the
regulator and hose to your LP Gas tank.
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.
Visually check burner flames occasionally to
ensure proper flame pattern as shown below.

Check and clean burner/venturi tubes for insects
and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire
beneath the grill.
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.
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. 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 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 resulting 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 your grill on the HIGH setting for
longer than five minutes may damage certain parts of
your grill. Do not leave your grill unattended 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 minut-
es after cooking is complete. Never use the HIGH
setting for extended cooking.
[] 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
[]
Unlike the controlled environment inside your kitchen,
variables like outside temperatures, direction
and conditions of wind, as well as grill location will
affect your grill's heat distribution. Because these
conditions vary, no two cooking situations are alike.
For this reason, we recommend you monitor your grill
closely so you can adjust heat settings 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.
Indirect Cooking
[] 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-Up
[] 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.
Failure to comply with these instructions could
result in a fire or explosion that could cause
serious bodily injury, death or property damage.
Never line the bottom of the grill housing or
Savor Plates ® with aluminum foil, sand or any
substance that will restrict the flow of grease
into the Grease Draining Tray and Receptacle.
Before each use of your grill: Pull out the Grease
Tray and remove all grease and food debris to
prevent grease fire hazard.
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 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.
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.

Rotisserie cooking produces foods that are moist and
flavorful because the slowly rotated food self-bastes to seal
in meat's natural juices. A rotisserie can be used to slow
cook foods using the indirect cooking method or an infrared
back burner, a feature available on select 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 ]east 5 minutes for gas to clear, then retry.
2. ]f your grill still falls 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 or Savor Plates ® 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:
]he 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 1/4of one turn.
[] Light the left main Burner.
[] Turn the tank valve slowly one more _¼of one turn
for ½ of one complete turn.
[] Continue to light Burners moving towards the tank.
[] 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 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 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 mygrill?
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 Therma-Core TM. This
Cooking Grid combines a heat conducting steel core
with an easy-to-clean stainless outer shell.
Question:
Some stainless steel grills specify 304 grade
construction while others do not mention a grade at
all? What is the difference?
Answer:
All stainless grades are not created equal. The 304
grade, also called 18-8 stainless steel, is prized for its
excellent resistance to rust and corrosion and good
performance at high temperatures, which makes it ideal
for grill construction.
304 grade stainless steel is by far the most popular
stainless steel and contains 18-20% chromium and
8-10% nickel, making it non-magnetic.
Some stainless steel grills are constructed of Type 430
stainless steel which contains 16-18% chromium but
generally less than 1% nickel. It is magnetic with less
corrosion and rust resistance and designed for limited
temperature use. Beware of stainless steel grills that
offer no claim of grade because what looks shiny on the
sales floor could become a problem on your patio.
How can you tell if a product is made of 304 grade
stainless? Take the simple magnet test. If a magnet
sticks to the stainless steel it is 430 grade. If a magnet
does not stick you can trust its 304 grade quality.
