Kenmore 141.16315800 manual Correct LP GAS Tank USE, Exactly

CORRECT LP GAS TANK USE

[] LP Gas grill models are designed for use with a standard 20 lb. Liquid Propane Gas (LP Gas) tank, not included with grill. Never connect your gas grill to an LP Gas tank that exceeds this capacity. A tank of

approximately 12 inches in diameter by 18-1/2 inches high is the maximum size LP Gas tank to use. You must use an "OPD" gas tank which offers a listed

Overfill Prevention Device. This safety feature prevents tank from being overfilled which can cause

malfunction of LP Gas tank, regulator and/or grill.

[] The LP Gas tank must be constructed and marked in

accordance with the Specifications for LPGas Cylin-

ders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.)

or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339,

Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of

Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable.

[] The LP Gas tank must have a shutoff valve, terminat-

ing in an LP Gas supply tank valve outlet, that is

compatible with a Type 1 tank connection device. The LP Gas tank must also have a safety relief device

that has a direct connection with the vapor space of the tank.

[] The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal.

[] The LP Gas tank used must have a collar to protect the tank valve.

[] 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

Kenmore. See Parts List.

[] Have your LP Gas dealer check the release valve after every filling to ensure it remains free of defects.

[] Always keep LP Gas tank in upright position.

[] 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 always disconnect the LP Gas tank first and store it safely outside.

[] LP Gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a well- ventilated area and out of the reach of children.

[] Disconnected LP Gas tanks must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

[] The regulator and hose assembly can be seen after

opening the doors (if applicable) and 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 using the gdll again.

[] Never	light	your	gas grill		with	the lid	closed	or
before	checking		to	ensure	the	burner	tubes	are fully
seated	over	the	gas	valve	orifices.

[] Never allow children to operate your grill. Do not allow children or pets to play near your grill.

[]	Use	of alcohol,		prescription		or	non-prescription
	drugs	can	impair	your	ability	to	properly	assemble
	and	safely	operate	your	grill.

[] Keep fire extinguisher readily accessible. In the event of a oil/grease fire, do not attempt to

extinguish with water. Use type B extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda.

[] In the event of rain, cover the grill and turn off the burner and gas supply.

[] Use your grill on a level, stable surface in an

area clear of combustible materials.

[] Do not leave grill unattended when in use.

[] Do not move the appliance when in use.

[] Allow the grill to cool before moving or storing.

[] Do not use your grill as a heater.

[] This grill is not intended to be installed in or on

recreational vehicles and/or boats.
