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
_ritl to an LP gas tank that exceeds this capacity.
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 overfltled
which can cause malfunction of LP gas tank,
regulator and/or 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 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 underoverhead unprotected
combustible surfaces. Do not obstruct the flow 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. 3
•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.
,4kWARNING
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 (Naturalgas modelonly)
IMPORTANT:your Kenmore Natural Gas Grill cannot
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 isrecom mended 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 or pipe thread tape resistant
to the action of natural gas must be used on all male
pipe threadswhen making the connection.
Disconnect your gas grill from fuel source when
the gas supply is being tested at high pressures.
Thisgasgrill and its individual shutoffvalve 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 itsindividual 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).

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 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, as shown
below, 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 itsoriginal
horizontal position, secure the Inside Nut and try
the Electrode Check again.
If no "clicking" sound is heard check the
following common causes. If you need
assistance call the Grill Information Center
at 1-888-317-7642.
•Ignitor AA battery not installedproperly.
Electric wires may be loose. Remove the AA
battery, inspectthe Ignitor Junction Box found

Congratulations
Your Kenmore gas grill is now ready for use.
Before the first use and at the beginning of
each season (and whenever the LP gas tank
has been changed):
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 according to
instructions found on page 23 & 24 of
this manual.
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.
Never test for leaks with a flame. Prior to first
use, at the beginning of each season, or every
time your LP gas tank is changed, you must
check for gas leaks. Follow these four steps:
1.
2.
Make a soap solution by mixing one part
liquid detergent and one part water.
Turn the grill Control Knobs to the full OFF
position, then turn the gas ON at source.
.
4.
Apply the soap solution to all gas connec-
tions. If bubbles appear in the soap solution
the connections are not properly sealed.
Check each fitting and tighten or repair as
necessary.
If you have a gas leak that cannot be re-
paired by tightening, turn off the gas at the
source, disconnect fuel line from your grill and
call 1-8OO-4-MY-HOME _ or your gas supplier
for repair assistance.
23
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.
Basic Lighting Procedures

Annual Cleaning of The Grill Interior
Burning-off the grill after every cookout will keep 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 full 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 assembly for cracking, cuts
or any other damage, and replace as neccessary
with Sears replacement parts. See Parts List.
Remove and clean the Flame Tamers, Cooking

7.
Cover each Gas Valve Orificewith 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 Oriflcesand 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 Bumer 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 initialuse, 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. Turn the LP gas tank valve (clockwise) to the full OF F
position. Disconnect the regulator and hose assem-
bly 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 wi'th a soft cloth.
3. Remove aluminum foil from exposed gasfitting and
allow grill to air dry before attaching the regulator
and hose to yourLP gas tank.
Keep outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline and other flam-
mable vaporsand liquids.
CAUTION:
1. Do not obstruct the flowof air for combustion
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.

To reduce the chance of FLASHBACK the procedure
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
gas grill.
4. Remove the Cooking Grids, Flame Tamers, 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 ValveOrifice.
7. Check and clean burner/venturi 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, remov-
ing 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.
3.
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.
iKWARNING
The location of the Burner Tube with re-
spect to the Orifice is vital for safe opera-
tion. 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 grill from LPG to NG?
Answer: No, your gas grill ismanufactured to exact
specifications and iscertified for Liquid Propane (LPG) or
Natural Gas (NG) use only. For your safety, conversion
kits are not available. Any attempt to convert your grill
will void yourwarranty.
Question: The hose and regulator supplied with my
grill does not fit the older LP gas tank I_/e used for
years. Why?
Answer: The U.S. Government regulates gas appliances
and LP gas tanks. When regulations are changed the LP
gas tank fittings are altered to ensure your safety. If your
LP gas tank does not fit the hose and regulator supplied
with your new grill, the tank is outdated and must be
replaced. Note: Effective April 1,2002 ait LP gastanks
sold must include an"OPD" Overfill Prevention Device.
This internaldevice prevents the LP gas tank from being
overfitled. Tankswithout an OPD valve can not be refilled.
Question: Is the serial and model number of my grill
listed somewhere forfuture reference?
Answer: This informationalong with theGrill Information
Center telephone number is listed on a silver label found
on the side of the Grill Head, underneath the Side Shelf.
Question: What causes grill parts to rust and what
affect does it have on the grill materials.
Answer: Rusting isa natural oxidation process and may
appear on cast-iron and steel parts. Rust will not affect
the short term performance of your grill. Toprotect
against the natural rusting process, your Cooking Grids
and Flame Tamers have a porcelain finish. However,
dropping, scraping or scratching these items will damage
the porcelain finish and allow rusting. To minimize
rusting we recommend you "season" the Cooking Grids
regularly--before and after each use. Consistent
seasoning will help resist rusting and will create a non-
stick cooking surface.
Question: How do Iseason Cooking Grids?
Answer: Before and after each cookout, apply a thin
layer of cooking oil, spray or shortening to each Cooking
Grid. Be sure to coat the entire surface including edges
and any areas with chipped porcelain. Insert the Cooking
Grids into your warm grill for 2 to 3 minutes.
Question: What is the best way toprotect 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. A Kenmore Grill
Cover is made to fit this particular grill model. See
your local Sears store or Sears.com for more details.
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: My grill does not light properly. Why?
Answer: Always light the burner farthest from the fuet source
first. This draws gas across the manifold helping prevent air
pockets which obstruct gas flow. Also check these causes:
• Check LP gas supply.
• Check to ensure all gas connections are secure.
• The Ignition AA battery may need replacing.
• Electric wires may be loose. Remove the battery,
inspect the Ignitor Junction Box found behind the
Control Panet and connect any loose wires.
• Spark Electrode Tips may need repositioning. With the
gas supply closed and all Control Knobs set to OFF
press the Ignitor Button and have another person watch
for the presence of a spark at the Electrode Tips. The
gap between the Spark Electrode Tip and Spark
Receiver should be about 3/16". If there is no spark at
Electrode Tip, refer to the "Electrode Check" proce-
dures in this manual and adjust gap as directed.
• Check that the end of each burner tube is properly
located over each gas valve orifice.
• There may be an obstruction in the gas line. To correct
this, remove LP gas Hose and Regulator from your grill.
Do not smoke! Open gas supply for one second to
clear any obstruction from fuel line. Close off gas
supply at source and reconnect fuel line to your grill.
• If an obstruction is suspected in the orifice or gas
valves call the Grill Information Center.
Question: My grill has a low flame and sometimes will
not light. Why?
Answer: You need to purge air from the gas line or reset the
regulator excess gasflow device. Opening the tank valve all
the way or too quickly is what triggers the regulators safety
device to shut down the gas flow which prevents excessive
gas flow to your grill. Lighting the 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 to purge air.
• Reconnect regulator to the LP gas tank.
• Open the Grill Lid. Turn the LP gas tank valve on
slowly until 1/4 to 1/2 open.
• Light the burner farthest from the fuel source by
turning its Control Knob to HIGH.
Question: Sometimes Ihear a humming sound
coming from my LP gas regulator. What causes this?
Answer: The humming noise isgasflowing through the regu-
lator. A low volume of noise is normal and will not interfere
with the operation of your grill. If the humming noise is loud
and excessive you need to purge air from the gas line or
reset the regulator excess gasflow device following the pro-
cedure above. This procedure should be done every time a
new LP gas tank is connected to your grill. For additional
help call the Grill Information Center 8am - 8pm CST,
Monday through Friday at: 1-888- 317- 7642.

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 wilt
want to "burn 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.
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. Sinceflare-ups impart afavorably, disti nctive
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.
Preheating
To preheat, light your grill on HIGH, lower the Lid and
followthistimetable:
•For high temperature cooking, preheat grill
3 to 5 minutes.
• Forlowtemperaturecooking, preheatgrill
3 minutes.
• To slow cook, preheating is not necessary.
Cooking Temperatures
High setting: Only usa 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
HIGHsetti ng 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.
NOT E: Temperature settings will vary with the tem -
perature 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, saaring and whenever you want
meat, poultry or fish to have an open-flame barbecued
taste.
Z WARNING
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.
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 out the 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 will vary 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 will vary 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

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 vegetablesiparticutady 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 temperature gauge and adjust the heat accord-
ingly.
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
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 temperature
gauge and adjust the heat accordingly.
Preparing to Roast
Roasting usesthe indirectcooking method. Therefore,
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.
Food preparation
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 itfrom drying out. Another
method for keeping food moist during roasting isto 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.
Tips for roasting
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 witha piece of foil. Allow itto stand for 10-15
minutes which altows the juices to settle. This will make
carving easier and ensure a tender, juicy roast.

BAKING TECHNIQUES
From casseroles and combread 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 pairof 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, yourcooking 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 would inthe 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 food several times as it bakes,
and add additional liquid ifrequired.
Watch the temperature, and adjust to cook according to
your recipe directions.

Slow Cooking with a Rotisserie
A Kenmore Rotisserie Kit is made to fit this particular
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 desiqned to cook food slowly. You can
place a cooking pan beneath the food to collect juices
for basting and gravy. To flavor the contents of the
cooking pan you may add herbs, onions, or other
spices of your choice.
The cooking times on a rotisserie will be approximately
the same as for oven cooking.
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 rotis-
serie 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. Itshould 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 length-
wise, catching the bird inthe fork of the wishbone. Center
the bird and tighten with the holding forks. Test the
balance as described before.
A rolled piece of meat requires the rotisserie skewer 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 skewer diagonally through the meaty sections.
If protruding bones or wings brown too quickly, cover with
pieces of foil.
Preparing to Smoke
Smoking givesfood a distinctive, deliciousflavor. 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 manufac-
turers instructions for preparation of smoking chips
prior to use.
Note: it is our experience that many smoking chip and
pellet products do not actually produce a smoke but
instead infuses the food with flavor. Please read
product labels carefully and if in doubt, ask your
retaiter for details.
Using A Smoker Box
There are many optional smoker boxes available for
purchase. Follow these guidelines and always refer to
the label of your smoking chips or pellets for specific
directions.
Raise your Grill Lid and light the grill. Lower the Grill
Lid allowing your grill to reach the desired cooking
temperature for the food you are grilling. Fill your
smoker box with your prepared smoking chips or
pellets. Dried herbs and spices may also be added to
produce different flavors. Weara flame retardant BBQ
Mitt and place your smoker box on a Cooking Grid or
Flame Tamer directly above a lit grill Burner. The
heated smoki ng chips or pellets will flavor your foods.
Tips forSmoking
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
toMEDIUM.
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 inAsian flavors of sesame
oil, soy sauce and sherry.
• Pork fillets, rubbed with ginger, orange rind and
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, round, rump, sirloin.
• Lamb, sliced fillet, round, loin.

STIR-FRYING TECHNIQUES
This method of cooking ispopular around the worldand
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 combinationswith otherinteresting ingredients
like vegetables, rice or noodles.
Preparing to Stir-fry
Although itis possible to stir fry in other dishes, a wok
is your 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 into long thin strips and cube
fish fillets. Remove all fat from meat and poultry and
cut large vegetables into even slices or cubes.
Marlhate foods for extra flav or and tenderness. Marlnat-
ing times will vary for red meat, fish and or various
cuts. Less tender cuts of meat should be marinated
longer. Remember to alwayschill marinating food 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 soowpeas aod 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 wok on 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 disperse in the open air
instead of collecting on 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 preparing the majority
of deep-fried foods.
Food Preparation
Foods being deep-fried taste better when coated with
either batter or breadcru mbs 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. W hen the oil is cool, remove all remnants of fried
foods by straining it through a fine metal sieve, and
store it in a clean bottle for future use.
Vegetables are generally easy to cook on the grill. The
Cooking Rack makes itconvenient because you can
still use the main cooking area while the vegetables
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 Rack can be used for purposes other
than just the obvious. Consider using the rack for
warming French bread, garlic bread, croissants or
even bagels.
A small whole fish wrapped in foil also cooks well on
the Cooking Rack. 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.
