Question: Can I convert 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 Standards Association (CSA). For your own safety, conversion kits are not available and any attempt to convert your gdll from one gas type to another will void your product warranty.

Question: Why doesn'tthe hose and regulator assem- bly supplied with my new Kenmore grill fit the older LP gas tank I'veused for years?

Answer: The U.S. Government regulates gas appliances 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 If your tank does not fit the hose and regulator supplied with your new grill, the tank is outdated and must be replaced.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, weather- ing 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'sManual.

Question: Sometimes my grill does not light when I push the Ignition Button. Why?

Answer: Refer to the Lighting Instructions in this Owner'sManual. 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 gdll 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 gdll model. Also, follow

the cleaning and maintenance instructions in this Owner'sManual on a timely basis, and your new gdll 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 wilt 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 Head 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 17, step 4, or call the Customer Service Helpline 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. Take out the tank from Tank Pull- Out Tray and follow the Calibration Procedure in page

13.After calibration, put the tank back onto Tank Pull- Out Tray and press the "CHECK" button for tank level measurement.

Another reason 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".
