Kenmore 148.1615421 manual For Safe Use of Your Grill and to Avoid Serious Injury

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 sides 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 to sources of ignition such as pilot lights 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 cylinder out of correct position specified in assembly instructions.

•Always close LP cylinder valve and remove coupling nut before moving LP cylinder from specified operation position.

Safety Tips

Before opening LP cylinder valve, check the coupling nut for tightness.

When grill is not in use, turn off all control knobs and LP cylinder valve.

Never move grill while in operation or still hot.

Use long-handled barbecue utensils and oven mitts to avoid burns and splatters.

Maximum load for sideburner and side shelf is 10 lbs. The grease tray must be inserted into grill and emptied after each use. Do not remove grease tray until grill has completely cooled.

Clean grill often, preferably after each cookout. If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.

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.

Keep ventilation openings in cylinder enclosure (grill cart) free and clear of debris.

Do not store objects or materials inside the grill cart enclosure that would block the flow of combustion air to the underside of either the control panel or the firebox bowl.

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 cylinder valve immediately. This indicates a problem with the cylinder and it should not be used on any product. Return to supplier!

•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 cylinder off.

•Do not leave grill unattended while preheating or burning off food residue on HI. If grill has not been regularly cleaned, a grease fire can occur that may damage the product.
