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. Your
gas grill should not be placed under any surface that will burn. Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation
air around the gas grill 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
•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 an upright position.
•Do not store (or use) gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this gas grill.
•An LP gas tank that is 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.
•LP gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a
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 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 unnecessary 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
•Never light your gas grill with the lid closed or before checking to insure 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.
WARNI NG
A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of gas indicates a serious problem with your gas grill or the LP gas tank. Failure to immediately follow the steps listed below could result in a fire or explosion that could cause serious bodily injury, death, or prop- erty damage.
•Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.
•Turn the Control Knobs to OFF position.
•Put out any flame with a fire extinguisher.
•Open 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 department. 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 with this procedure refer to page 17, step 4, or call the Customer Service Helpline for assistance, 8am - 8pm CST, Monday through Friday
