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 grill from one gas type to another will void your product warranty.
Question: Why doesnt the 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fit the hose and regulator supplied with your new grill, the tank is outdated and must be replaced.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
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 Gdll 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 ( 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.
