Proper
Placement
and Clearance
of Grill
Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,
breezeway or any other enclosed area. Your gas grill is
to be used outdoors
only, at least 24 inches from the
back and side of any combustible
surface. Your
gas grill should not be placed under any surface
that will burn. Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation
air around the gas grill housing.
This outdoor gas grill is not intended to be installed in
or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
•
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 Sears.
•
Have your LP gas tank filled by a reputable
propane gas dealer and visually inspected
and
re-qualified at each filling.
•
Never fill the gas tank beyond 80% full.
Have your propane gas dealer check the
release valve after every filling to ensure that it
remains free of defects.
•
Always
keep LP gas tanks
in an upright
position.
•
Do not store (or use) gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this gas grill.
•
An LP gas tank that is not connected for use must
NOT be stored on bottom shelf or in the vicinity of
this or any other gas grill.
•
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 or other indoor
location, 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.
• When your gas grill is not in use the gas
must be turned off at the LP gas tank.
• The regulator
and hose assembly
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 the grill
being used again.
• Keep the gas regulator
hose away from hot
grill surfaces and dripping grease. Avoid
unnecessary
twisting of hose. Visually inspect
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 1-800-366-PART
(1-800-366-7278)
for a Sears authorized
replacement
hose.
• Never light your gas grill with the lid closed
or before checking
to insure the burner tubes
are fully seated over the gas valve orifices.
• Never allow children
to operate your grill. Do
not allow children
to play near your grill.
WARNI NG
A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of
gas indicates
a serious problem with your
gas grill or the LP gas tank. Failure to
immediately
follow the steps listed below
could result in a fire or explosion
that could
cause serious bodily injury, death, or prop-
erty damage.
• Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.
• Turn the Control Knobs to OFF position.
• Put out any flame with a fire extinguisher.
• Open Grill Lid.
• Get away from the LP gas tank.
• Do not try to fix the problem
yourself.
• If odor continues
or you have a fire you
cannot extinguish, call your fire department.
Do not call near the LP gas tank because
your telephone
is an electrical
device and
could create a spark resulting in fire and/or
explosion.
NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the
regulator
and hose assembly
can create a
humming
noise. A low volume of noise is
perfectly normal and will not interfere with
operation
of the grill. If humming
noise is
loud and excessive
you may need to purge
air from the gas line or reset the regulator
excess gas flow device. This purging proce-
dure should be done every time a new LP
gas tank is connected
to your grill. For help
with this procedure
refer to page 17, step 4,
or call the Customer
Service Helpline for
assistance,
8am - 8pm CST, Monday through
Friday 1-888-317-7642.
