tank valve and call local LP gas dealer for assistance.
• Do not release liquid propane (LP) gas into the atmosphere.
This is a hazardous practice.
• To remove gas from LP tank, contact an LP dealer or call a
local fire department for assistance. Check the telephone
directory under "Gas Companies" for nearest certified LP
dealers.

463845504.17
LPTank Exchange
• Many retailers thatsell grills offer you the option 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 exchanged LP tanks BEFORE

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-ventilated 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.
If "growing" bubbles appear do not use or move the LP tank.
Contact an LP gas supplier or your fire department!
• Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to gas
train components can result.

NOTE:
If you cannot complete the connection, disconnect regulator and
repeat steps 5 and 6. If you are still unable to complete the
connection, do not use this regulator!

For Safe Use Of Your Grill And To Avoid Serious
Injury:
• Do not let children operate or play near grill.
• Keep grill area clear and free from materials that burn.
• Do not block holes in bottom or back of grill.
• Check burner flames regularly.
• Use grill only in well-ventilated space. NEVER use in
enclosed space such as carport, garage, porch, covered
patio, or under an overhead structure of any kind.
• Do not use charcoal or ceramic briquets in a gas grill.
(Unless briquets are supplied with your grill.)
• Use grill at least 3 ft. from any wall or surface. Maintain
10 ft. clearance to objects that can catch fire or sources of
ignition such as pilotlights on water heaters, live electrical
appliances, etc.
• Apartment Dwellers:
Check with management to learn the requirements and fire
codes for using an LP gas grill in your apartment complex. If
allowed, use outside on the ground floor with a three (3) foot
clearance from walls or rails. Do not use on or under
balconies.
• NEVER attempt to light burner with lid closed. A buildup
of non-ignited gas inside a closed grill is hazardous.
• Never operate grill with LP tank out of correct position
specified in assembly instructions.
• Always close LP tank valve and remove coupling nut
before moving LP tank from specified operation
position.
Safety Tips
• Before opening LP tank valve, check the coupling nut for
tightness.
• When grill is not in use, turn off all control knobs and LP tank
valve.
• Never move grill whilein operation or still hot.
• Use long-handled barbecue utensils and oven mitts to avoid
bums and splatters.
• Maximum load for shelves is 10 Ibs.
• Asoup can must be attached to grease clip and emptied
after each use. Do not remove soup can until grill has
completely cooled.
If you notice grease or other hot material dripping from grill
onto valve, hose or regulator, turn off gas supply at once.
Determine the cause, correct it, then clean and inspect valve,
hose and regulator before continuing. Perform a leak test.
The regulator may make a humming or whistling noise during
operation. This will not affect safety or use of grill.
If you have a grill problem see the "Troubleshooting Section".
If the regulator frosts, turn off grill and LP tank valve
immediately. This indicates a problem with the tank and it
should not be used on any product. Return to supplier!
20 • 463845504
• Putting out grease fires by closing the lid is not
possible. Grills are well ventilated for safety reasons.
• Do not use water on a grease fire. Personal injury may
result. If a grease fire develops, turn knobs and LP tank
off.
• Do not leave grill unattended while preheating or
burning off food residue on high. If grill has not been
regularly cleaned, a grease fire can occur that may
damage the product.
Match-Lighting
• Do not lean over grill while lighting.
1, Open lid, Turn on gas at LP tank.

Before Your First Cookout
• Light burners, check to make sure theyare lit, close the lid and
warm up grill on HIGH for 15 minutes. Curing of paint and parts
will produce an odor only on first lighting.
Burner Flame Check
• Light burner, rotate knobs from HI to LO. You should see a
smaller flame in LO position than seen on HI. Always check
flame prior to each use. Perform flame check on sideburner. If
only low flame is seen refer to "Sudden drop or low flame" in
the Troubleshooting Section.
Repainting Your Grill
• After extended use and exposure to weather, paint on grill may
deteriorate or become spotted. Although this detracts from
grill's appearance, it will not impair its performance.
To refinish your grill brush outside of grill lid and bottom with
wire brush and lightly sand with fine grit sandpaper. Sanding
allows new paint to adhere more easily. Wash grill lid and
bottom with soap and water to remove dust and grease. Do not
use a grill cleaner on outside of grill. Wipe with vinegar.
Refinish outside with heat-resistant paint. Do not paint inside
of grill.
Turning Grill Off
• Turn all knobs to _ position. Turn LP tank off by turning
OPD hand wheel clockwise to a full stop.
Ignitor Check
• Turn gas off at LP tank. Press and hold ignitor button. "Click"
should be heard and spark seen each time between collector
box or burner and electrodes. See "Troubleshooting" if no click
or spark.
Valve Check
• Important: Make sure a_.=asisoff at LP tank before checking
valves. Knobslock in _ position. To checkvalves, first
push in knobs and release, knobs should spring back. If knobs
do not spring back, replace valve assembly before using grill.
Turn knobs to LO position then turn back to _ position.
Valves should turn smoothly.
Hose Check
• Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn.
Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use only identical
Kenmore replacement valve/hose/regulator assembly.
General Grill Cleaning
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the
factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution
of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush
on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely
air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted
surfaces,
• Plated wire grates: Wash grates and V-bar with concentrated
grill cleaner or use soap and water solution. Dry thoroughly and
store indoors between cookouts.
• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
• Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a
concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and
failure of parts can result.
• Porcelain grates: Because of glass-like composition, most
residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or
specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder
for stubborn stains.
NATURAL HAZARD • SPIDERS
FACT: Sometimes spiders and other small insects climb into
the burner tubes attached to the burners. The spiders spin
webs, build nests and lay eggs. The webs or nests can be
very small, but they are very strong and can block the flow of
gas. Clean burners prior to use after storing, at the beginning
of grilling season or after a period of one month not being
used.
Typicalspiderwebsinside burner.
Spider guards are on the air intakes in an effort to reduce this
problem, but it will not eliminate it! An obstruction can result
in a "flashback" (a fire in the burner tubes). The grill may still
light, but the obstruction does not allow full gas flow to the
burners.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Smell gas.
2. Burner(s) will not light.
3. A small yellow flame from burner (should be blue).
4. Fire coming from around or behind control knob.
STOP!
Immediately turn off gas at LP tank!
• After a burner tube fire, you must inspect the hose and
do a "Leak Test" to assure no damage has occured to
the parts,
SOLUTION:
Wait for grill to cool.
Follow the "Cleaning The Bumer Assembly" instructions.
Clean burners often. Use a 12" pipe cleaner to clean out the
burner tubes. You may also force a stream of water from a
hose nozzle through burner tubes to clean them.
22 • 463845504
Cleaning The BurnerAssembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of bumer
assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP tank,
2. Remove cooking grate and V-bar.
3. Remove grease can from beneath grill. Beneath grill bottom,
disconnect ignitor wire from electrode.
4. Remove screw holding collector box. Notewhich hole on
collector box used for attaching to burner. Remove collector
box and clean ceramic portion of electrode with rubbing
alcohol and cloth.
5. Under control panel, disengage burner springs from burner
tubes. Do not remove springs from valves.
6. To remove burner, slide backwards, lift up and out of grill.
7. Clean outside of burner with soap and water. Lay burner
upside down on fiat surface. Force a stream of water through
tubes. Make sure water comes out of all burner holes. Open
clogged holes with a thin wire. Shake out excess water and
examine holes. Due to normal wear and corrosion, some
holes may become enlarged. If any largecracks or holes are
found replace burner.
,
If grill is to be stored, coat burner lightlywith cooking oil.
Wrap in protective cover to keep insects out. If not storing grill
after cleaning, hold burner at an angle and insert into grill
bottom.
9. After cleaning, insert electrode into hole in grill bottom.
Reattach collector box to burner with screw. Be sure to use
correct hole.
10.Place end of spring into hole on underside of burner tube, as
before, to secure burner. See figure A.
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tube must engage valve opening
as shown in figure A.
11. Reattach ignitor wireto electrode.
12. Reposition V-bar and cooking grate. Reattach clean can to
grease clip.
13. Before cooking again on grill, follow "Burner Flame Check".
• Do notuse charcoalwith this grill.

Storing Your Grill
• Clean cooking grates.
• Store in dry location.
• When LP tank is connected to grill, store outdoors in well-
ventilated space and out of reach of children.
• Cover grill if stored outdoors.
• Store grill indoors ONLY if LP tank is turned off and
disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors.
• When removing grill from storage follow "Cleaning Bumer
Assembly" instructionsbefore starting grill.
Direct Cooking
Use both burners to heat the grill for searing of the meat. Once
the meat has been seared, turn the burners to LO to cook meat
thoroughly.
Indirect Cooking
Once the grill is preheated, turn one of the burners off and place
your meat on the grate above the burner that is NOT burning.
This indirectmethod of cooking allows you to slow cook poultry
or large cuts of meat without the touch of a direct flame.
• Always cook with the lid closed.
• Due to weather conditions, cooking times may vary. During cold
and windy conditions the temperature setting may need to be
increased to insuresufficient cooking temperatures.
1. Ignitethe LEFT burner. For slow cooking, adjust the control
knob to the LO setting. For faster cooking, adjust the control
knob to the HI setting.
2. Place the food on the RIGHT side of the cooking grate.
3. Because the heat source is only on one side, the food should
be rotated at least once during cooking to insureeven
cooking. Use a meat thermometer to determine when the food
is done.
Food Safety
Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor
cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria,
follow these four basic steps:
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water
before and after handling raw meat and poultry.
Separate: Separate raw meats and poultryfrom ready-to-eat
foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and
utensils when removing cooked foods.
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a
thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftoverspromptly.

1-800-535-4555 In Washington, DC (202) 720-3333, 10:00 am-
4:00 pm EST.
HowTo Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly
• Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the
outside. Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached
a safe internal temperature, and cut intofood to check for
visual signs of doneness.
• Whole poultry should reach 180° F; breasts, 170° E Juices
should run clear and flesh should not be pink.
• Hamburgers made of any ground meat or poultry should reach
160° F,and be brown in the middle with no pink juices.Beef,
veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to 145°
E All cuts of pork should reach 160° E
• NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later.
Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.
• When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats likehot
dogs, grill to 165° F, or until steaming hot.
