Question: Can I convert my Kenmore gas grill from one fuel type to another?

AJlswer: Your Kenmore gas gdll is manufactured to exact specifications and is approved by the Canadian StandardsAssociation (CSA). For your own safety, conversion kits are not available and any attempt to convert your grill 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. Govemment 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 If your tank does not fit the hose and regulator supplied with your new grill, the tank is outdated and must be replaced.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 Gdll 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 theAA 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. Sears offers a cover that is made to fit this particular grill model. Also, follow the cleaning and maintenance instructions in this Owner's Manual on a timely basis, and your new grill 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 will need your model number and serial number to order parts.

Question: Are the serial and model numbers of my gdll listedsomewhere for future reference?

Answer: This informationis listed on a silver label found on the right side of your Gdll 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 20, step 4, or call the Customer Service Helpline at the number shown below.
