smaller flame in LO positionthan seen on HI. Always check
flame prior to each use. Perform flame check on sideburner. If
only low flame is seen refer to "Sudden dropor low flame" in
the Troubleshooting Section.

RepaintingYour Grill

• After extended use and exposure to weather,paint on grill may
deteriorate or becomespotted. Although this detracts from
grill's appearance, it will not impair its performance.
To refinishyour grill brush outside of grill lid andbottom with
wire brush and lightly sand with fine grit sandpaper. Sanding
allows new paint to adhere more easily.Wash grill lid and
bottomwith soap and water to remove dust and grease. Do not
usea grill cleaner on outside of grill. Wipe with vinegar.

of grill.

OPD hand wheel clockwise to a full stop.

Ignitor Check

should be heard and spark seen each time between collector
boxor burner and electrodes. See "Troubleshooting" if no click
or spark.

Valve Check

• Important: Make surea_.=asisoff at LP tank before checking
valves. Knobslock in _ position.To checkvalves, first
push inknobs and release, knobs should spring back. Ifknobs
do not spring back, replace valve assembly before using grill.
Turn knobs to LO position then turn back to _ position.
Valves should turn smoothly.

HoseCheck

• Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn.
Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use only identical
Kenmore replacement valve/hose/regulator assembly.

General Grill Cleaning

• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smokefor paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the
factory (and should never be painted). Apply astrong solution
of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush
on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely
air dry. Do not apply a causticgrill/oven cleaner to painted
surfaces,
•Plated wire grates: Wash grates andV-bar with concentrated
grill cleaner or use soap and water solution. Dry thoroughly and
store indoors between cookouts.
•Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
• Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a
concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and
failure of partscan result.
•Porcelain grates: Because of glass-like composition, most
residue can be wiped awaywith baking soda/water solution or
speciallyformulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder
for stubborn stains.
NATURAL HAZARD • SPIDERS
FACT: Sometimes spiders andother small insects climb into
the burner tubes attached to the burners. The spiders spin
webs, build nests and lay eggs. The webs or nests can be
very small, but they are very strong and can block the flow of
gas. Clean burners prior to use after storing, at the beginning
of grilling season or after a periodof one month not being
used.
Typicalspiderwebsinside burner.
Spider guards are on theair intakes in an effort to reduce this
problem, but it will not eliminate it! An obstruction can result
in a "flashback" (a fire inthe burner tubes). The grill may still
light, but the obstruction does not allow full gas flow to the
burners.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Smell gas.
2. Burner(s)will not light.
3. A small yellow flame from burner(should be blue).
4. Firecoming from around or behindcontrol knob.
STOP!
Immediately turn off gas at LP tank!
•After a burner tube fire, you must inspect the hose and
do a "Leak Test" to assure no damage has occured to
the parts,
SOLUTION:
Wait for grill to cool.
Follow the "Cleaning TheBumer Assembly" instructions.
Clean burners often. Use a 12" pipe cleaner to clean out the
burner tubes. Youmay also force a stream of water from a
hose nozzle through burner tubesto clean them.
