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, Burners, Cooking Grids and Flame Tamers 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: How do I season Cast Iron?

Answer: Before and after each cookout, apply a thin layer of cooking oil, spray or vegetable shortening to each Cooking Grid and optional cast-iron accessory. Be sure to coat the entire surface including edges and any areas with chipped porcelain. Insert the Cooking Grids and accessories into your grill and warm 2 to 3 minutes.

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 grill from the weather?

Answer: A good quality grill cover should be used to protect your grill when not in use. Kenmore Grill Cover

#15812 is made to fit this particular grill model. Also, follow the cleaning and maintenance instructions in this Owner'sManual on a timely basis, and your new grill wilt 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 will 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 18, step 4, or call the
