IF YOU SMELL GAS:
1. Shut off gas to the appliance.
2 Extinguish any open flame.
3. Open lid.
4. If odor continues, keep away from
the appliance and immediately call
your gas supplier or your fire
department.
1. Do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable liquids in the vicin-
ity of this or any other appliance.
2. Any LP cylinder not connected for
use shall not be stored in the
vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
LPG grill models must be used with Liquid
Propane Gas and the regulator assembly
supplied. Natural Gas models must be used
with Natural Gas only. Any attempt to convert
the grill from one fuel type to another is
extremely hazardous and will void the
warranty.
Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,
breezeway or any other enclosed area.
Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air around
your gas grill housing.
Never disconnect the gas regulator or any gas
fitting while your grill is lit. A lit grill can ignite
leaking gas and cause a fire or explosion which
could result in property damage, personal injury or
death.
Keep gas regulator hose away from hot grill
surfaces and dripping grease. Avoid unneces-
sary 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
Kenmore replacement hose.
Grill Installation Codes
The installation must conform with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with either the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas
and Propance installation Code, CSA B149.1, or
Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2.

CORRECT LP GAS TANK USE
[] LP Gas grill models are designed for use with a
standard 20 lb. Liquid Propane Gas (LP Gas) tank,
not included with grill. Never connect your gas grill to
an LP Gas tank that exceeds this capacity. A tank of
approximately 12 inches in diameter by 18-1/2 inches
high is the maximum size LP Gas tank to use. You
must use an "OPD" gas tank which offers a listed
Overfill Prevention Device. This safety feature
prevents tank from being overfilled which can cause
malfunction of LP Gas tank, regulator and/or grill.
[] The LP Gas tank must be constructed and marked in
accordance with the Specifications for LPGas Cylin-
ders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.)
or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339,
Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of
Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable.
[] The LP Gas tank must have a shutoff valve, terminat-
ing in an LP Gas supply tank valve outlet, that is
compatible with a Type 1 tank connection device. The
LP Gas tank must also have a safety relief device
that has a direct connection with the vapor space of
the tank.
[] The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor
withdrawal.
[] The LP Gas tank used must have a collar
to protect the tank valve.
[] Never connect an unregulated LP gas tank to your
gas grill. The gas regulator assembly supplied with
your gas grill is adjusted to have an outlet 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
Kenmore. See Parts List.
[] Have your LP Gas dealer check the release valve
after every filling to ensure it remains free of defects.
[] Always keep LP Gas tank in upright position.
[] Do not subject the LP Gas tank to excessive heat.
[] Never store an LP Gas tank indoors. If you store
your gas grill in the garage always disconnect the
LP Gas tank first and store it safely outside.
[] LP Gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a well-
ventilated area and out of the reach of children.
[] Disconnected LP Gas tanks must not be stored in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area.
[] The regulator and hose assembly can be seen after
opening the doors (if applicable) and must be
inspected before each use of the grill. If there is
excessive abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it
must be replaced prior to using the grill again.
[] Never light your gas grill with the lid closed or
before checking to ensure the burner tubes are fully
seated over the gas valve orifices.
[] Never allow children to operate your grill. Do not
allow children or pets to play near your grill.
[] Use of alcohol or drugs may impair the ability to
assemble and operate the appliance.
[] Keep fire extinguisher readily accessible. In the
event of a oil/grease fire, do not attempt to
extinguish with water. Use type B extinguisher
or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda.
[] In the event of rain, cover the grill and turn off
the burner and gas supply.
[] Use your grill on a level, stable surface in an
area clear of combustible materials.
[] Do not leave grill unattended when in use.
[] Do not move the appliance when in use.
[] Allow the grill to cool before moving or storing.
[] Do not use your grill as a heater.
[] This grill is not intended to be installed in or on
recreational vehicles and/or boats.
A Do not store a spare LP-Gas tank under or near
this appliance.
B. Never fill the tank beyond 80 percent full; and
C. If the information in "(a)" and "(b)" is not followed
exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may
occur.
/k
Use your grill at least 3 feet away from any
wall or surface. Use your grill at least 3
feet away from combustible objects that can
melt or catch fire (such as vinyl or wood
siding, fences and overhangs) or sources of
ignition including pilot lights on water heaters
and live electrical appliances.
Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,
breezeway or any other enclosed area.
Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air around
your gas grill housing.

NOTE about LP Gas Tank Exchange Programs
Many retailers that sell grills offer you the option of
replacing your empty LP Gas tank through an ex-
change service. Use only those reputable exchange
companies that inspect, precision fill, test and certify
their tanks. Exchange your tank only for an OPD safety
feature-equipped tank as described in the LP Gas tank
section of this manual.
Always keep new and exchanged LP Gas tanks in
an upright position during use, transit or storage.
Leak test new and exchanged LP Gas tanks BEFORE
connecting one to your grill.
How to Leak Test your LP Gas Tank
Foryoursa_ty:
All leak tests must be repeated each time your LP Gas
tank is exchanged or refilled.
When checking for gas leaks do not smoke.

10. Replace Savor Plates@ and Cooking Grids.
Proper care and maintenance will keep your grill in top
operating condition and prolong its life. Follow these
cleaning procedures on a timely basis and your grill will
stay clean and operate with minimum effort.
CAUTION: Be sure your grill is OFF and cool before cleaning.
Cleaning The Cooking Grids
[] Before initial use, and periodically, wash your
Cooking Grids in a mild soap and warm water
solution. You can use a wash cloth or vegetable
brush to clean your Cooking Grids.
Cleaning The Savor Plates@
[] Periodically you should wash the Savor Plates@
in a soap and warm water solution. Use a
vegetable brush to remove stubborn burnt-on
cooking residue. Dry the Savor Plates@ thoroughly
before you reinstall them into the cooking bowl.
Cleaning The Grease Tray and Receptacle
[] To reduce the chance of fire, the Grease Draining
Tray and Grease Receptacle (some models)
should be visually inspected before each grill use.
Remove any grease and wash Grease Tray and
Receptacle with a mild soap and warm water
solution.
Cleaning the Inside of the Grill Lid
[] Grease can have a tendency to build up on the
inside of the Grill Lid and could drip onto deck or
patio when the lid is opened. Visually inspect the
inside of the Grill Lid before each grill use. Remove
any grease and wash with a mild soap and warm
water solution.
11. Reconnect the gas source and observe the
Burner flame for correct operation.
Cleaning Exterior Surfaces:
Before initial use, and periodically thereafter, we
suggest you wash your grill using a mild soap and
warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or
sponge for this process. Do not use a stiff wire or
brass brush. These will scratch stainless steel and
chip painted surfaces (varies by model) during the
cleaning process.
Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces:
Weathering and extreme heat can cause exterior
stainless steel surfaces to turn tan in color. Machine
oils used in the manufacturing process of stainless
steel can also cause this tanning color. After remov-
ing any 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
abrasive cleaners or scrubbers because they will
scratch and damage your grill. Follow these steps for
the best results.
1. Turn the LP Gas tank valve (clockwise) to the full
OFF position. Disconnect the regulator and hose
assembly from LP Gas tank.
2. Remove dirt or grease using a soft cloth and
polish stainless surfaces. Wipe with a soft cloth.
3. Remove aluminum foil from exposed gas fitting
and allow grill to air dry before attaching the
regulator and hose to your LP Gas tank.
Regular Cleaning of The Grill Interior
[] Burning-off excess food after every cookout will
keep it ready for instant use. However,at least every
3 months you must give the entire grill a thorough
cleaning to minimize your risk of grease fire and
keep the grill in top shape. Follow these steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Turn all Burner Valves to the full OFF position.
Turn the LP gas tank valve to the full OFF position.
Disconnect the regulator from the gas tank. Inspect
the hose with regulator assembly for cracking, cuts
or any other damage, and replace as neccessary.
Refer to the Parts List in this Operator's Manual.
Remove and clean the Savor Plates@, Cooking
Grids, Cooking Rack and Grill Burners.
5. Cover each Gas Valve Orifice with 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 Orifices and check
each Orifice for obstruction.
g.
Check each Spark Electrode, adjusting as needed.
The space between the Spark Electrode Tip and
Spark Receiver should be approximately 3/16".
Replace the Burners and adjust the Gas
Collector Box. The edge of the collector box should
be overlapping the Burner Port.
Failure to comply with these instructions may
result in a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in injury.
Keep grill area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
Do not obstruct the flow of air for combustion
and ventilation.
Keep the ventilation openings of the tank enclosure
cabinet free and clear of debris.
Visually check burner flames occasionally to
ensure proper flame pattern as shown below.

several times to remove any debris.
[] METHOD 3: Use an air hose to force air
through each Burner Tube. The forced air
should pass debris or obstructions through
the Burner and out the Ports.
Regardless of which Burner cleaning procedure you
use, we recommend you also complete the following
steps to help prolong Burner life.
1. Use a fiber pad or nylon brush to clean the entire
outer surface of each Burner until free of food
residue and dirt.
2. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire, such as
an open paper clip.
3.
Inspect each Burner for damage (cracks or
holes) and if such damage is found, order and
install a new Burner. After installation, check
to ensure that the Gas Valve Orifices are
correctly placed inside the ends of the Burner
Tubes. Also check the position of your Spark
Electrode.
For safe operation ensure the Gas Valve
Assembly Orifice is inside the Burner Tube
before using your grill. See figure. If the Orifice
is not inside the Burner Tube, lighting the
Burner may cause explosion and/or fire result-
ing in serious bodily injury and/or property
damage.

Burn-Off
[] Before cooking on your gas grill for the first time, you
should "burn off" the grill to eliminate any odor or
foreign matter, ignite the burners, lower the Lid, and
operate grill on HIGH setting for 3 to 5 minutes.
CAUTION: Operating ALL main burners on HIGH
setting for longer than five minutes may damage
certain parts of your grill. Do not leave your grill unat
tended when in use.
Preheating
[] To preheat, light your grill on HIGH, lower the Lid
and follow this timetable:
For high temperature cooking, preheat grill 3 to 5
minutes.
For low temperature cooking, preheat grill 3 minutes.
To slow cook, preheating is not necessary.
Cooking Temperatures
[] High setting: The HIGH Control Knob setting should
only be used to pre-heat your grill the first 3-5 minutes
and for burning food residue off the grill for 3-5 minutes
after cooking is complete.
CAUTION: Operating ALL main burners on HIGH setting
for longer than five minutes may damage certain parts
of your grill. Do not leave your grill unattended when in
use.
Indirect Cooking
[] The indirect cooking method can also be used with
the supplied Cooking Grids. To cook indirectly, the
food should be placed on the left or right side of your
grill with the Burner lit on the opposite side. Or place
your food on the Secondary Cooking Rack and light
the outer grill Burners. Either way, indirect cooking
must be done with the Lid down.
Prepare Cooking Grids for Grilling
[] Greasing the cooking surface will help keep foods
from sticking during the cookout and reduces the
amount of cleanup required. Use a brush to apply a
thin layer of cooking oil or vegetable shortening onto
each Cooking Grid before each cookout. We do not
suggest spray type oils unless they are specified for
high-temperature cooking. Be sure to coat the entire
cooking surface including edges and any areas with
chipped porcelain.
Flare-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.
To minimize flare-ups use a drip pan under foods
that produce a lot of grease, like ribs.
[] Medium to Low Settings: Most recipes specify
medium to low settings, including all smoking,
rotisserie cooking and cooking lean cuts such as fish.
An Important Note About Cooking Temperatures
[] The suggested heat settings and cooking times
shown in the following pages are approximate.
Unlike the controlled environment inside your kitchen,
variables including outside temperatures, direction
and conditions of wind, as well as grill location will
affect your grill's heat distribution. Because these
condition vary, and no two backyards are alike, we
offer this guide as a convenience. We recommend
you monitor your grill closely and rotate foods as
needed to prevent overcooking and ensure the most
delicious results every time.
The middle and back primary cooking areas offer the
highest heat for searing and grilling.
The Secondary Cooking Rack offers medium heat for
preparing breads and firm vegetables like potatoes
and corn.
The front primary cooking area offers less heat and is
ideal for preparing delicate foods and for keeping
cooked foods warm.
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 searing,
grilling, deep frying and whenever you want foods to
have an open-flame barbecued taste.
A-1
Failure to comply with these instructions could
result in a fire or explosion that could cause
serious bodily injury, death or property damage.
Never line the bottom of the grill housing or
Savor Plates_vith aluminum foil, sand or any
substance that will restrict the flow of grease
into the Grease Draining Tray and Receptacle.
Before each use of your grill: Pull out the Grease
Tray and remove all grease and food debris to
prevent grease fire hazard.
Use your grill at least 3 feet away from any
wall or surface. Use your grill at least 3 feet
away from combustible objects that can melt or
catch fire (such as vinyl or wood siding, fences
and overhangs) or sources of ignition including
pilot lights on water heaters and live electrical
appliances.
Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,
breezeway or any other enclosed area.
Your grill will get very hot. Always wear a flame
retardant BBQ Mitt when cooking on your grill.
Never lean over cooking areas while using grill.
Do not touch cooking surfaces, Lid, grill housing
or other parts while grill is in operation, or until
the grill has cooled down after use.

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.

or until fish is opaque
Vegetables and Fruit
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--particularly 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 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 compa-
rable to normal pan frying or grilling.

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 uses the indirect cooking 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 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.
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 graw. Place a cooking pan directly over the
heat, add extra butter if needed, then add several spoon-
fuls of flour to thicken sauce. Finally, add sufficient chicken
or beef stock to obtain the desired consistency.
Once the meat is cooked, remove it from your grill and
cover with a piece of foil. Allow it to stand for 10-15
minutes which allows the juices to settle. This will make
carving easier and ensure a tender, juicy roast.

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 in 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 food several times as it bakes, and add
additional liquid if required.
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

Slow Cooking with a Rotisserie
A Rotisserie Kit is made to fit your grill model. Rotis-
serie 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 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. 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 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 gives food a distinctive, delicious flavor. You will
find a variety of wood chips available for use in smoking
grilled foods. Pre-soaking of wood chips may be re-
quired so read and follow the manufacturers instructions
for preparing smoking chips prior to use.
Note: It is our experience that many smoking chip
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 retailer 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 for specific directions.
Raise your Grill Lid and light the grill. Lower the Grill Lid
allowing your grill to reach the desired cooking tempera-
ture for the food you are grilling. Fill your smoker box with
your prepared smoking chips. Dried herbs and spices
may also be added to produce different flavors. Wear a
flame retardant BBQ Mitt and place your smoker box on a
Cooking Grid or Savor Plate® directly above a lit grill
Burner. The heated smoking chips will flavor your foods.
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.
Tuna steaks, marinated in Asian 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, boneless 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 is popular around the world and
can be easily accomplished outdoors on your 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 is 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.
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. Remem-
ber to always chill marinating food in the refrigerator prior
to cooking.
Stir-fry meats, poultry or fish first. Next, add hard veg-
etables 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 wok on a Cooking Grid or Side Burner directly
overa HIGH heat.Add onlya small amount of food at
a time to ensure fast cooking and also to allow the wok
to reheat between ingredients.
DEEP-FRYINGTECHNIQUES
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 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
temperature. 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 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 it convenient 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 veg-
etables 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.

Question:
Can I convert my grill from one fuel type to another in
other words from LPG to NG or vice versa?
Answer:
No, your gas grill is manufactured to exact specifications
and is certified for LPG (Liquid Propane Gas) use only.
For your safety, conversion kits are not available, nor
will we sell or otherwise provide parts or information to
be used to convert your grill. Any attempt to convert your
grill is dangerous and will void your warranty.
Question:
Are the serial and model numbers of my grill listed
somewhere for reference?
Answer:
The serial and model numbers are listed on a silver
CSA label placed on the grill. Depending on the grill
model the silver CSA label will be located on the left or
right side bowl panel underneath the side shelf,
underneath the right side of the control panel, outside
left or right of control panel or on the back of the grill
cabinet.
Question:
My grill will not light properly. Why?
Answer:
Always light the Main Burner farthest from the fuel
source first. This will draw gas across the manifold
helping prevent air pockets which obstruct gas-flow and
prevent proper grill lighting. Also try this procedure:
1. Turn gas off at source and turn Control Knobs OFF.
Wait at least 5 minutes for gas to clear, then retry.
2. If your grill still fails to light, turn the Burner Control
Knob(s) and gas source OFF and conduct a leak test
of ALL gas connections and gas sources as
explained in the Use and Care section of this manual.
3. If no leaks are detected, wait 5 minutes for any gas to
clear and repeat the lighting procedure.
Question:
If my ignitor or battey is not working how can I light
my grill manually? And - Why would I need the silver
lighting stick that hangs from the side of my grill?
Answer:
If your ignition fails to work or your battery needs
replacing, you can light your grill through the Lighting
Hole on the side of the grill bowl using the Manual
Lighting Stick that hangs from the side of your grill. The
Lighting Stick is designed to hold a paper match and
allows you to safely insert a match through the Lighting
Hole without getting close to the Burner. Never remove
the Cooking Grids or Savor Plates@ and attempt to light
the grill from above. To light your gas grill manually,
insert a paper match into the Manual Lighting Stick and
follow steps 1 through 6 of the Basic Lighting
Procedures. Then, light the match and place it through
the Lighting Hole on the right side of the grill (location of
hole varies by grill model). Turn the nearest main
Burner Control Knob to the High setting to release gas.
The Burner should light immediately.
Question:
Sometimes I hear a humming sound coming from my
regulator. What causes this? And - My grill has a low
flame and sometimes will not light. Why?
Answer:
The humming sound is gas flowing through the
regulator. A low volume of sound is normal and will not
interfere with the operation of your grill. Loud or
excessive regulator humming and/or low flow and
intermittent lighting may be caused by the regulator's
excess gas flow device. Opening the tank valve all the
way or too quickly is what triggers the regulator's safety
device to restrict gas flow, preventing excess gas flow to
your grill. Lighting the main Burner farthest from the fuel
source every time will help eliminate air pockets in the
manifold. Note: This procedure should be done every
time a new LP Gas tank is connected to your grill.
[] Turn all Control Knobs to the OFF position.
[] Turn off the LP Gas tank at the tank valve.
[] Disconnect regulator from LP Gas tank.
[] Let unit stand for 5 minutes.
[] Reconnect regulator to the LP Gas tank.
[] Open grill Lid (or Side Burner Lid if you are lighting
the Side Burner).
[] Turn the tank valve slowly _/4of one turn.
[] Light main Burner farthest from fuel source.
[] Turn the tank valve slowly one more 1/4of one turn
for ½ of one complete turn.
[] Turn Knob for each other burner and light as you
move toward the fuel source.
[] Do not turn tank valve more than ½ of one turn on
LPG models.
Question:
Where do I use my grill for safer operation and better
performance?
Answer:
[] Strong winds and low temperatures can affect the
heating and performance of your gas grill so
factor in these elements when positioning your
grill outdoors for cooking.

Question:
The Regulator and Hose supplied with my gas grill
does not fit the older LP Gas tank I've used for
years. Why not?
Answer:
The U.S. Government regulates gas appliances and
LP Gas tanks. When regulations are changed the LP
Gas tank fittings are altered to insure compliance. If
your LP Gas tank does not fit the Regulator and Hose
supplied with your new grill, the tank is outdated and
must be replaced. Note: Effective April 1,2002 all LP
Gas tanks sold must include an "OPD" Overfill
Prevention Device. The OPD tanks are identified by
their triangular-shaped valve wheel. This internal
device prevents the LP Gas tank from being overfilied.
Tanks without an OPD valve can not be refilled.
Question:
Is it safe to clean my porcelain coated cooking grids
in the dishwasher?
Answer:
Clean your cooking grids by hand if there are any chips
or cracks in the porcelain finish and dry them thoroughly.
If no chips or cracks are present it should be safe to use
the dishwasher. Remember to dry the cooking grids
thoroughly before placing back onto your grill to
minimize rusting.
Question:
What causes grill parts to rust and what affect does
it have on my grill?
Answer:
Rusting is a natural oxidation process and may
appear on cast-iron and steel parts. Rust will not
affect the short term performance of your grill.
To slow the rusting process on steel Cooking Grids
(select models) we recommend greasing the
Cooking Grids before and after each cookout. Use a
brush to apply a thin layer of cooking oil or vegetable
shortening onto each Cooking Grid. We do not
suggest spray type oils unless they are specified for
high-temperature cooking. Be sure to coat the entire
cooking surface including edges and any areas with
chipped porcelain.
Question:
Which is a better cooking surface to grill on;
porcelain coated steel / cast-iron cooking grids or
stainless steel grids?
Answer:
They all have their advantages. For traditional grilling
and searing meats, cast-iron or steel grids offer
better heat conductivity. To protect against the natural
rusting process, steel or cast-iron cooking grids offer
a porcelain finish which requires routine
maintenance to keep the grids well seasoned.
Stainless steel is popular with those who prefer less
maintenance.
A new innovative solution is available on select
models called stainless Therma-Core TM. This
Cooking Grid combines a heat conducting steel core
with an easy-to-clean stainless outer shell.
