Tube and inside the Burner several times to

[] METHOD 3: Use an air hose to force air
through each Burner Tube. The forced air

For safe operation ensure the Gas Valve Assem-
bly 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 explosion and/or fire resulting in serious
bodily injury and/or property damage.
Gas Valve AssembIy Orifice BurnerTube
LPG grill models must be used with Liquid
Propane Gas and the regulator assembly
supplied. Natural Gas models must be used
with Natural Gas only. 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 housing.
Never disconnect the gas regulator 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 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 1-800-4-MY-HOME _ (1-800-469-4663)
for a Sears replacement hose.
