Code.
© Sears, Roebuck and Co.
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 in grill box. 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 over-
filled which can cause malfunction of LP gas tank,
regulator and/or gdtl.
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 Trans-
portation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as
applicable.
1. The LP gas tank has a shutoff valve, termi-
nating in an LP gas supply tank valve outlet,
that is compatible with a Type 1 tank con-
nection device. The LP gas tank must also
have a safety relief device that has a direct
connection with the vapor space of the tank.
2. The tank supply system must be arranged
for vapor withdrawal.
3. The LP gas tank used must have a collar
to protect the tank valve.
Proper Placement and Clearance of Grill
Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,
breezeway or any other enclosed area. Your gas grill is
to be used outdoors only, at least 24 inches from the
back and side of any combustible surface. Do not
locate this appliance under overhead unprotected
combustible surfaces. Do not obstruct theflow of
ventilation air around the gasgrill housing.
This outdoor gas grill is not intended to be installed in
or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
• 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.
• Have your LP gas tank filled by a reputable
propane gas dealer and visually inspected and
re-qualified at each filling.
• Never fill the gas tank beyond 80% full.
Have your propane gas dealer check the
release valve after every filling to ensure that
it remains free of defects.
• Always keep LP gas tanks in upright position.
Do not store (or use) gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this gas grill.
• LP gas tanks not connected for use must NOT be
stored on bottom shelf or in the vicinity of this or
any other gas grill.
• 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 or other
indoor location, 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.
• When your gas grill is not in use the gas
must be turned off at the LP gas tank.
• The regulator and hose assembly can be seen
after opening the doors (if applicable), 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 the grill being
used again.
• Keep the gas regulator hose away from hot
grill surfaces and dripping grease. Avoid unnec-
essary 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) for a
Sears authorized replacement hose.
• 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 to play near your grill.
Z WARNING
If you smell gas:
• Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.
• Turn the Control Knobs to OFF position.
• Extinguish any open flame such as candle,
cigarette, lighter, etc., that could cause gas
to ignite.
• Open the Grill Lid.
• Get away from the LP gas tank.
• Do not try to fix the problem yourself.
• If odor continues or you have a fire you
cannot extinguish, call your fire depart-
ment. Do not call near the LP gas tank
because your telephone is an electrical
device and could create a spark resulting
in fire and/or explosion.
NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the
regulator and hose assembly can create a
humming noise. A low volume of noise is
perfectly normal and will not interfere with
operation of the grill. If humming noise is
loud and excessive you may need to purge
air from the gas line or reset the regulator
excess gas flow device. This purging proce-
dure should be done every time a new LP
gas tank is connected to your grill. For help
call the Grill Information Center for assis-
tance, 8am - 8pm CST, Monday through
Friday 1-888-317-7642.

Figure 1 (Natural gas model only)
IMPORTANT: your Kenmore Natural Gas Grill can-
not be converted to use LP Gas. Attempting to do
so is extremely hazardous and will also void the grill
warranty.
Your natural gas grill is designed to operate on
natural gas only, at a pressure of 7" water column
(W.C.) (1/4 psi or 1.75 kpa), regulated at the
residential meter. Check with your gas utility
company for local gas pressure and with your
local municipality for building code requirements.
If your residential gas line pressure has not been
regulated to 7" W.C., contact your local gas utility
company for professional assistance.
It is recommended that a Shutoff Valve be installed
at the gas supply source outdoors. Install 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 Figure 1.
• Pipe sealing com pound orpipe thread tape resistant
tothe action of natural gas must be used on all male
pipe threads when making the connection.
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).

( J
. Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle.
Run the brush through the Burner Tube and
inside the Burner several times, removing any
debris.
.
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.

[] Electrode Check - Requires an Assistant
Before placing the cooking components into your
grill, ensure that the Spark Electrode Tip is properly
positioned within each Gas Collector Box ( a
3-1/4" wide stainless mechanism found at the front
between each set of Burners.) The easiest way to
ensure this is to perform this Electrode Check:
1. Be sure all Control Knobs are set to "OFF"
and open the Grill Lid.
2. Have an assistant stand behind to the right of
the grill and look down at each Gas Collector
Box. NEVER put your face inside Grill Head.
.
Press the Ignitor Cap. You should hear a
"clicking" sound and your assistant should see
a small blue spark within each Gas Collector
Box. If a spark is present the Electrode Tips
are properly positioned.
4. if no spark is seen the Spark Gap shown in
Figure 10 needs to be adjusted as follows:
Using an adjustable wrench, loosen the inside
Nut just until the Gas Collector Box can be
maneuvered and turned upward.
The gap between the Spark Electrode Tip and
Spark receiver should be approximately 3/16".
If the gap is wider than 3/16" use a pair of long
nose pliers and gently squeeze the Gas Collector
Box until the gap is correct.
Return the Gas Collector Box to its original
horizontal position, secure the Inside Nut and try
the Electrode Check again.
5.
If no "clicking" sound is heard check the following
common causes. If you need assistance call our
Grill Information Center
at 1-888-317-7642.
• IgnitorAA battery not installed properly.
Electric wires may be loose. Remove the AA
battery, inspect the Ignitor Junction Box found
behind the Control Panel, and connect any loose
wires.

Z WARNING
If you smell gas:
Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.
Turn the Control Knobs to OFF position.
Extinguish any open flame such as candle,
cigarette, lighter, etc., that could cause gas
to ignite.
Open the Grill Lid.
Get away from the LP gas tank.
Do not try to fix the problem yourself.
If odor continues or you have a fire you
cannot extinguish, call your fire depart-
ment. Do not call near the LP gas tank
because your telephone is an electrical
device and could create a spark resulting
in fire and/or explosion.
NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the
regulator and hose assembly can create a
humming noise. A low volume of noise is
normal and will not interfere with operation of
the grill. If humming noise is loud and exces-
sive you may need to purge air from the gas
line or reset the regulator excess gas flow
device. This purging procedure should be
done every time a new LP gas tank is
connected to your grill. For help call the
Customer Service Helpline.

check for gas leaks. Follow these four steps:
1.Make a soap solution by mixing one part liquid
detergent and one part water.
2.Turn the grill Control Knobs to the full OFF
position, then turn the gas ON at source.
3. Apply the soap solution to all gas connections.
If bubbles appear in the solution the connec-
tions are not properly sealed. Check each
fitting and tighten or repair as necessary.
4. If you have a gas leak you cannot repair, turn
off gas at the source, disconnect fuel line from
your grill and call 1-800-4-MY-HOME ® or your
gas supplier for repair assistance.

LP Tank Exchange
• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the op-
tion of replacing your empty LP tank through an
exchange service. Use only those reputable
exchange companies that inspect, precision
fill, test and certify their cylinders. Exchange
your tank only for an OPD safety feature-equipped
tank as described in the LP Tank section of
this manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in
upright position during use, transit or storage.
• Leak test new and exchange LP tanks BEFORE
connecting to grill.
LP Tank Leak Test
For your safety
• Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is
exchanged of refilled.
• Do not smoke during leak test.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
• Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ven-
tilated area, away from ignition sources such as
gas fired or electrical appliances. During leak test,
keep grill away from open flames or sparks.
• Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap
and water solution. Brush soapy solution onto
areas indicated by arrows in figure below.
WARNING
If growing bubbles appear do not use or move
the LP tank. Contact an LP gas Supplier or your
fire department!
Basic Lighting Procedures
Machine oils used inthe manufacturing process of
stainless steel can cause stainless steel to turn a tan
color. Before initial grill use, remove protective PVC film
from Control Panel and inside and outside of Grill Lid.
Use a Stainless Steel Cleaner to polish the stainless steel
and remove these excess oils from your grill. Never use
abrasive cleaners or scrubbers because they will scratch
and damage your grill. For details, see Cleaning Exterior
Stainless Steel Surfaces on page 27.
Gas Lighting Instructions
Familiarize yourself with the safety guidelines at the
front of this manual. Do not smoke while lighting grill
or checking gas supply connections.

Annual Cleaning of The Grill Interior
Burning-offthe grill after every cookout willkeep it
ready for instant use. However, once a year you should
give the entire grill a thorough cleaning to keep it in top
operating condition. Follow these steps:
1. Turn all Burner Valves to the futl OFF position.
2. Turn the LP gas tank valve to the full OFF position.
3. Disconnect the regulator from the gas tank. Inspect
the hose with regulator assem bly for cracking, cuts
or any other damage, and replace as neccessary
with Sears replacement parts. See Parts List.
4. Remove and clean the Flame Tamers, Cooking
Grids, Cooking Rack and Grill Burners.
5. Cover each Gas Valve Orificewith 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 Orificesand check
each Orifice for obstruction.
8. Check each Spark Electrode, adjusting as needed.
The space between the Spark Electrode Tip and
Spark Receiver should be approximately 3/16".
9. Replace the Burners and adjust the Gas Collector
Box. The edge of the collector box should be
overlapping the Burner Port.
10. Replace Flame Tamers and the 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 that might remove paint during the clean-
ing 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
the 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 abra-
sive cleaners or scrubbers because they will scratch
and damage your grill. Follow these steps for the best
results.
1. TurntheLPgastankvalve(clockwise)tothefull OFF
position. Disconnect the regulator and hose assem-
bly from LP gas tank. Cover exposed gasfitting with
aluminum fo_.
2. Remove dirt or grease using a soft cloth and polish
stainless surfaces. Wipe with a soft cloth.
3. Remove aluminum foil from exposed gasfitting and
allow grill to air drybefore attaching the regulator
and hose to yourLP gas tank.
Keep outdoor cooking gasappliance area clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline and other flam-
mable vaporsand liquids.
CAUTION:
1. Do not obstruct the flowofair forcombustion
and ventilation.
2. Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder
enclosure cabinet free and clear of debris.
3. Visually check burner flames occasionally to
observe for proper flame pattern as shown below.

Cleaning The Burner Tubes and Burner Ports
To reduce the chance of FLASHBACK the proce-
dure below should be followed at least once a month
in late summer or early fall when spiders are most
active or when your grill has not been used for a
period of time.
1. Turn all Burner Valves to the full OFF position.
2. Turn the LP gas tank valve to the full OFF position.
3. Detach the LP gas regulator assembly from your
gasgrill.
4. Remove the Cooking Grids, FlameTamers, and
Grease Trays from your grill.
5. Remove the Cotter Pin from the rear underside of
each Burner using a pair of long nose pliers.
6. Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the
Gas Valve Orifice.
7. Checking and cleaning burnedventuri 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:
Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat
hanger works well) into a small hook as
shown below. Run the hook through the
Burner Tube and inside the Burner several
times to remove any debris.
,)
Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle.
Run the brush through the Burner Tube
and inside the Burner several times,
removing any debris.
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.
. 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.
Z WARNING
The location of the Burner Tube with respect
to the Orifice is vital for safe operation.
Check to ensure the Orifice is inside the
Burner Tube before using your gas grill. See
Figure 2. If the Orifice is not inside the
Burner Tube, lighting the Burner may cause
explosion and/or fire.

Question: Can Iconvert my Kenmore gas grill from
one fuel type to another?
Answer: Your Kenmore gas grill is manufactured to
exact specifications and is approved by the Canadian
StandardsAsseciation (CSA). Foryour own safety,
conversion kits are not available and any attempt to
convert your grill from one gas type to another wilt void
your product warranty.
Question: Why doesn't the hose and regulator assem-
bly supplied with my new Kenmore grill fit the older LP
gas tank rve used for years?
Answer: The U.S. Government regulates gas appli-
ances and LP gas tanks. Whenever new regulations are
passed the LP gas tank fittings are altered. If your tank
does not fit the hose and regulator supplied with your
new grill, the tank is outdated and must be replaced.
Question: What can cause grill parts to rust and what
affect does it have on the grill materials.
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 or affect
the taste of your foods.
Stainless steel grill parts will not rust. However, weath-
ering and extreme heat can cause stainless steel Lid
surfaces to turn tan color. This is discoloration, not rust.
Question: How can I minimize the risk of rust or
stainless steel discoloration?
Answer: To protect against the natural rusting process,
the Grill Bowl and Burners have a porcelain finish.
However, dropping, scraping or scratching these items
will damage the porcelain finish and allow rusting. We
recommend you "season" these items before and after
each use. Consistent seasoning will help deter rusting
and will create an easy to clean cooking surface.
Weathering and extreme heat can cause exterior
stainless steel surfaces to turn tan in color - which is
not to be confused with rust. Machine oils used in the
manufacturing process of stainless steel can also
cause this tanning color. After removing the protective
PVC film from your Grill Lid use a Stainless Steel
Cleaner to polish the inside and outside of your grill
Lid. Never use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. Follow
the easy "Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces"
procedures found in this Owner's Manual.
Question: Sometimes my grill does not light when I
push the Ignition Button. Why?
Answer: Refer to the Lighting Instructions in this
Owner's Manual. Also check these common causes:
• Ignition AA battery may need replacing.
• Ignition wires may be loose. Remove the AA battery,
inspect the Ignitor Junction Box found behind the
Control Panel, and connect any loose wires.
Question: What is the best way to protect my new
Kenmore gas grill from the weather?
Answer: A good quality grill cover should be used to
protect your grill when not in use. Sears offers a cover
that is made to fit this particular grill model. Also, follow
the cleaning and maintenance instructions in this
Owner's Manual on a timely basis, and your new grill will
give you years of enjoyment.
Question: Where can I buy replacement parts?
Answer: For the repair or replacement parts you need
call 6 am - 11 pm CST, 7 days a week 1-800-366-
PART (1-800-366-7278). Use only Sears authorized
parts. The use of any part that is not Sears authorized
can be dangerous and will also void your product
warranty. You will need your model number and serial
number to order parts.
Question: Are the serial and model numbers of my
grill listed somewhere for future reference?
Answer: This information is listed on a silver label found
on the right side of your Grill Heed under the Side Shelf.
Question: Sometimes I hear a humming sound
coming from my regulator. What causes this?
Answer: The humming noise is actually the gas
flowing through the regulator. A low volume of noise is
perfectly normal and will not interfere with the opera-
tions of the grill. If humming noise is loud and exces-
sive you may need to purge air from the gas line or
reset the regulator excess gas flow device. Note: This
purging procedure should be done every time a new
LP gas tank is connected to your grill. For help with
this procedure refer to page 26, step 4, or call the
Grill Information Center at the number shown below.
Question: Why doesn't the Fuel Gauge Display show
the tank level after "CHECK" button pressing?
Answer: Make sure the Wire Plug "A" from Fuel Gauge
Display is connected with the Wire Plug "B"from rear of
Tank Pull-Out Tray. Or, it might be that 20 seconds have
not elapsed from the first time that you pressed "Check"
and therefore your second pressing of "Check" has manu-
ally turned the fuel gauge to "off'. Simply repress "Check"
to manually turn the fuel gauge to "on".
29
Z WARNING
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.
Failure to comply with these instructions
may result in serious bodily injury.
Burn-Off
Before cooking on your gas grill for the first time, you
will want to "bum off' the grill to eliminate any odor or
foreign matter. Just ignite the burners, lower the Lid,
and operate grill on the HIGH setting for three to five
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.
Preheating
To preheat, light your grill on HIGH, lower the Lid and
followthis 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.
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 mounted
inside your grill bowl and light the 2 outer grill Burners.
Either way, indirect cooking must be done with the
Lid down.
Seasoning Cooking Grids
Before and after each cookout, apply a thin layer of
cooking oil, spray or vegetable shortening to each
Cooking Grid. Be sure to coat the entire surface includ-
ing edges and any areas with chipped porcelain. Insert
the Cooking Grids into your warm grill for 2 to 3 minutes.
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.
Nevertheless, uncontrolled flaring can result in a
ruined meal.
Z WARN ING
Do not line the bottom of the grill housing
with aluminum foil, sand or any substance
that will restrict the flow of grease into the
Grease Draining Tray and Receptacle.
Failure to comply with these instructions
could result in a fire or explosion which
could cause serious bodily injury, death, or
property damage.
Cooking Temperatures
High setting: Only use this setting for fast warm-up,
searing steaks or chops and for burning food residue
off the grill 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, rotis-
serie cooking and for cooking lean cuts such as fish.
NOTE: Temperature settings will vary with the
temperature and the amount of wind outside your
home.
Direct Cooking
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 many
recipes including deep frying, searing and whenever
you want meat, poultry or fish to have an open-flame
barbecued taste.
A-1
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Before the first use and at the beginning of each
season:
1. Read all safety, lighting and operating instructions.
2. Check gas valve orifices, burner tubes and burner
ports for any obstructions.
3. Perform gas leak check.
Before each use of your grill:
1. Pull outthe Grease Tray and remove all grease and
food debris to prevent grease fire hazard.
2. Be sure the grill is positioned outdoors at least
24 inches from the back and side of any combus-
tible surface.
Grilling Steak and Ribs
Turn the grill Burners on HIGH, close the Lid
and preheat your grill 3 to 5 minutes.Open
Lid and place the meat on the Cooking Grid
directly above the lit Burners. Cook the meat
on both sides until seared. Reduce the heat
to MEDIUM and cook meat until done.
Grilling times willvary according to meat
thickness.
Grilling Hamburgers and Sausages
Turn the grill Burners on HIGH, close Lid and
preheat your grill 3 to 5 minutes. Open Lid
and place the meat on the Cooking Grid
directly above the lit Burners. Cook the meat
on both sides until seared. Reduce the heat
to MEDIUM and cook the meat until done.
Grilling times willvary according to meat
thickness.
Grilling Poultry
Turn the grill Burners on HIGH, close Lid and
preheat your grill 2 to 3 minutes. Then raise
the Lid, reduce heat to MEDIUM and cook
poultry directly over lit Burners until done.
Poultry skin is fatty so you should expect
some flare-ups when using this direct
method.
To minimize flare-ups, try grilling poultry
using the indirect method. Place the poultry
on one side of the grill with the opposing
Burners on MEDIUM heat, and lower the grill
Lid. Grilling times will vary based on the size
of your poultry.
Grilling Pork
Turn Burners on HIGH and preheat your grill
3 to 5 minutes with the Lid closed. Raise Lid,
place pork on Cooking Grid and cook until
seared. Reduce heat to MEDIUM and cook
until done. Grilling times will vary according
to meat thickness.

Prepare your fruit or vegetables and brush with butter
or 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 articularly 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 grill thermometer 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 comparable to normal pan frying or grilling.
A-3
An Important Note About Heat Settings Food preparation
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
convenience, but suggest you watch the grill ther-
mometer and adjust the heat accordingly.
Preparing to Roast
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.
Roasting uses the indirect cooking method. There-
fore, 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.
Tips forroasting
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 gravy. Place a cooking pan directly
over the heat, add extra butter if needed, then add
several spoonfuls of flour to thicken sauce. Finally, add
sufficient chicken or beef stock to obtain the desired
consistency.
Once the meat iscooked, remove itfrom your grill and
cover with a piece of foil. Allow itto stand for 10-15
minutes which allows the juices to settle. This wilt make
carving easier and ensure a tender, juicy roast.

BAKING TECHNIQUES
From casseroles and cornbread 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 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 wouldin 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 feed several times as it bakes,
and add additional liquid if required.
Watch the temperature, and adjust to cook according to
your recipe directions.

Rotisserie Cooking
A Kenmore Rotisserie Kit is made to fit this panticular model. 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 from the Back Burner using infrared heat. The location of the Burner allows the placement of a
cooking pan beneath the food to collect juices for basti ng and gravy. To flavor the contents of the cooki ng pan you
may add herbs, onions, or other spices of your choice. The Back Burner isan infrared type, which provides intense
searing radiant heat. The intense heat sears in the natural juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of meat.
The cooking times on a rotisserie will be approximately the same as for oven cooking, but differences in wind, air
temperature and equipment will affect the cooking times. It is recommended that you use a meat thermometer to
test for the desired well-aloneness of any foods prepared on a rotisserie.
ROTISSERIE COOKING CAN BE CONSIDERABLY SLOWER THAN DIRECT HEAT COOKING, BUT THE
RESULTS CAN BE WELL WORTH THE TIME AND EFFORT.
Balancing the 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 rotisserie 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 lengthwise, catching the bird in the fork of the wishbone. Center the bird
and tighten with the holding forks. Test the balance as described before.
A roiled piece of meat requires the rotisserie spit 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 spit diagonally through the meaty sections. If
protruding bones or wings brown too quickly, cover with pieces of foil.
Tips for Using The Back Burner
For Back Burner lighting instructions refer to page 25 of this Owner's Manual.
The location of the Back Burner makes it more susceptible to winds that will decrease the performance of your
rotisserie cooking. For this reason you should not operate the Back Burner during windy weather conditions.
For best results, always rotisserie cook with the grill Lid down and the Back Burner Control Knob set to HIGH.
DO NOT USE THE MAIN BURNERS WHEN THE BACK BURNER IS IN OPERATION.

Preparing to Smoke
Smoking gives food a distinctive, delicious flavor. You will find a variety of wood chips or pellets available for use in
smoking grilled foods. Pre-soaking of wood chips may be required so read and follow the manufacturers instruc-
tions for preparation of smoking chips prior to filling the Smoker Drawer.
Using The Smoker Drawer
Start your grill and allow itto reach the desired cooking temperature for the food you are grilling. Wear a flame
retardant BBQ Mitt and pull the Smoker Drawer out of the grill and fill with your prepared smoking chips. Dried herbs
and spices may also be added to produce different flavors. Return the Smoker Box to the grill and the heat will
produce smoke and season the food.
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. You can
also rub the food with herbs, spices or flavored oils. Many foods can be smoked to produce stunning results with
very little effort. Here are a few suggestions:
• Tuna steaks, marinated in Asian flavors of sesame oil, sey sauce and sherry.
• Pork fillets, rubbed with ginger, orange rind aod 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, bonetess 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, rouod, 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
Kenmore 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.
Preparing to Stir-fry
Although it ispossible to stir fry in other dishes, a wok
isyour 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 intolong 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. Remember to always chill marinat-
ingfood in the refrigerator prior to cooking.
Stir-fry meats, poultry or fish first. Next, add hard
vegetables 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 wokon 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.
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 reach for the
sky ot the ceiling of your kitchen.
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
gradually. 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 prepar-
ing the majority of deep-fried foods.
Food Preparation
Foods being deep-flied 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 tempera-
ture. 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 remnants of flied
foods by straining itthrough a fine metal sieve, and
store it ina clean bottle for future use.
Vegetables are generally easy to cook on the grill.
The Cooking Racks makes it convenient because you
can still use the main cooking area while the veg-
etables 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 vegetables with butter or oil and finish cooking.
The Cooking Racks can be used for purposes other
than just the obvious. Consider using the racks for
warming French bread, garlic bread, croissants or
even bagels.
A small whole fish wrapped in foil also cooks well on
the Cooking Racks. 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.
