The Fuel System

Gas grills are used safely by millions of people when following simple safety precautions.

The items in the fuel system are designed for operation with this Kenmore grill. They must not be replaced with any other brand. (See parts list for replacement items.)

GAS BURNER: The gas burner is constructed of tubular stainless steel and should not require maintenance other than inspection for insects/nests inside the air intake slots.

BURNER VALVE/REGULATOR: The burner control is actually a regulator/valve assembly. On the right side of the grill, the regulator attaches directly to the end of the burner and also to a 1- pound propane cylinder. Only an identical part gas/valve regulator must be used. (See parts list for replacement items.)

LP GAS REGULATOR CAUTION

The gas pressure regulator provided with this appliance must be used. This regulator is equipped with the required orifice and is set for the required outlet pressure for this appliance. This combination of orifice size and pressure regulation specifications provides the cooking performance intended by Kenmore Table Top Grill. Substitution of regulator by any other device or any other manufacturer is dangerous and could result in serious injury.

LP GAS REGULATOR

The gas pressure regulator is shipped loose and must be installed prior to operating your grill. This is a "slip-fit"~ requiring no tools. See assembly instructions on page 7 for proper installation. The regulator may be removed from the grill after use. Turn the regulator control knob to the "OFF" position; disconnect the LP cylinder and allow the grill to cool for at least 30 minutes prior to removing regulator.

Care should be taken to store the regulator in a clean, secure location when the grill is not in use. The threaded cylinder connection area should be kept clean and free of dust, dirt, sand or any foreign materials. Clean both the regulator and LP cylinder threaded areas prior to connecting cylinder to regulator.

PROPANE FUEL: WARNING - propane is a flammable gas. Improper handling may result in an explosion and/or fire and serious accident or injury. Your grill is designed to operate with propane (LP) gas only and is equipped with the proper orifice for propane gas.

WARNING: Do not connect this grill with any

gas supply other than propane. Propane gas is heavier than air and settles in lower areas. Make

certain adequate ventilation is available when

using your grill. The gas cylinder may be stored outside in a well-ventilated area out of the reach

of children when the grill is not in use.

LP GAS CYLINDER: This grill is designed and intended to be used with a disposable propane cylinder with a nominal fuel weight of 1 lb. Such a cylinder is approximately 4" in diameter and 7" long. The Kenmore Table Top Grill does not include an LP gas cylinder. This must be purchased separately and be found at most hardware stores. The cylinder used must be constructed in accordance with the specifications for LP cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) DOT-39 NRC232/290 MIIIO.
