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
resultinafireorexplosionthatcouldcause
seriousbodilyinjury,deathor 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 grill 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 2 cleaning methods:
[] METHOD 1: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 2: 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.
Gas Valve AssenlNy Orifice 8_Jrne_Tube
Uquid Propane Gas (LPG) grill models must be
used with LP gas and the LP gas regulator
assembly supplied. Natural Gas grill 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 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 or natural gas
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, tf the hose appears damaged,
do not use the gas orill. Call Sears at
1-800-4-MY-HOME(e (1-800-469-4663) for a
Kenmore replacement gas hose assembly or
natural gas hose depending on your model.

CORRECT LP GAS TANK USE
[] LP gas grill models are designed for use with a
standard 20 lb. (9.1kg) Liquid Propane Gas (LP
G) 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 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 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.
[] 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, tn
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Hand Tighten Only. Do Not Use A Wrench,
[]
[]
[]
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.
Ifgrowing bubbles appear do not use or move the LP
Gas tank. Call an LP gas supplier or your fire
department.
Type I c_nection per
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.
]9
Flow Limiting Valves on LP Gas Tanks
Your LP gas tank is equipped with a flow limiting
valve that wilt restrict the flow of gas due to a
sudden change in pressure. This can often
activate without your knowledge. You will notice
among olher things that your grtl does not get as
hot as it should, witl take longer to heat up or

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.
1. Turn all burner control knobs to the "OFF"
position.
2. Turn the LP Tank or Natural Gas valve to the
"OFF" position.
3. Disconnect the regulator assembly or natural
gas hose from the gas supply.
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.
METHOD I: 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 2: 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.
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 Va_ve AssemMy Orifice BumerTube
BURNER FLAMES
Always inspect the burner flame after
lighting. A good flam should be primarily blue
with a yellow tip and have a minima 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
2?
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. To slow cook, preheating is not
necessary.
Cooking Temperature
High Setting: The "HI" control knob setting
should only be used to sear some meats, 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. Never use the "HI" setting for extended
cooking.
Medium to Low Settings: Nost 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 dosed 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 REMOVABLE ICE CHEST
Your gas grill comes with a removable
stainless steel ice chest with a plastic liner.
This ice chest is designed to keep beverages
and product in sealed containers cool for a
short period of time. We recommend you do
not store food in this ice chest.
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.

Question:
Can iFconvert my gas grill from one fuel
type to anotherr 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) or NG (Natural 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
Cylinder or Natural Gas valve. Turn on LP
Cylinder or the gas at the Natural Gas
source.
2. Your LP Cylinder is out of propane.
3. Crimped fuel supply hose. Inspect and
straighten.
4. Regulator failure or damaged hose
assembly. Inspect and order a replacement
part. Do not use your grill if you find a
damaged hose assembly.
5. Gas not getting to the burners. Inspect the
burners under the control panel to be sure
they are aligned with the valve orifices.
6. Blockage in the gas system. Inspect
burners and valve orifices for blockages,
such as spider webs, insects, etc. Clean as
necessary.
Question:
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 burner
electrodes.
4. Inspect the electrodes to be sure they are
not coated with grease or dirt. If so, clean
with rubbing alcohol.
If you hear a clicking sound, then:
1. Inspect the electrodes to be sure they
are not coated with grease and dirt.
Clean with rubbing alcohol.
2. Inspect the distance from the electrode
to the burner. It should be 1/8 to 1/4
inch from the main burner and 1/8 to
3/16 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.
5. Reconnect the gas regulator to the LP
tank.
6. Follow the burner lighting procedures
and light the burner farthest from the
LP tank.
Question:
Where do I use my grill for safer
operation and better performance7
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.
3O
Use your grill at least 2 feet away from
combustible objects that can melt or catch fire
(such as vinyl or 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 supplier 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 appNances
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. We recommend you clean aN 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 the 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.
