Spiders and small insects can spin webs and nest in the grill burner tubes during transit and warehousing which can lead to a gas flow
obstruction resulting in a fire in and around the burner tubes. This type of "FLASHBACK FIRE" can cause serious grill damage and create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
To reduce the chance of a FLASHBACK FIRE
you must clean the burner tubes as follows before initial use. Also do this at least once a
month in summer and fall or whenever spiders are active in your area, and if your gril has not been used for an extended period of time.
1. Remove the screw from the rear of each burner using a Phillips head screwdriver.
2.Carefully lift each burner up and away from the gas valve orifice.
3.Check and clean the burner tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the grill.
4.Refer to the figure below and perform one of these 3 cleaning methods:
[] METHOD 1: Bend a stiff wire or wire coat hanger into a small hook as shown and run
the hook through the burner tube and inside the burner several times to remove debris.
[] METHOD 2: Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle and run the brush through the burner tube and inside the burner several times to remove any debris.
[] METHOD 3: Use an air hose to force air through each burner tube. The forced air should pass debris or obstruction through the burner and out the ports.
For safe operation ensure the gas valve assembly orifice is inside the burner tube before using your grill. See figure. If the orifice is not inside the burner tube, lighting the burner may cause an explosion and/or fire resulting in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) grill models must be used with the liquid propane gas regulator assembly supplied. Any attempt to convert the grill from one fuel type to another is extremely hazardous and will void the warranty.
Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed, breezeway or any other enclosed area.
Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air around your gas grill cabinet.
Never disconnect the gas regulator assembly or any gas fitting while your grill is lit. A lit grill can ignite leaking gas and cause a fire or explosion which could result in property damage, personal injury or death.
Keep the gas regulator hose away from any heated surface and dripping grease. Avoid
unnecessary twisting of the hose. Visually inspect the 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
