18-1/2incheshigh
is the maximum size LP gas
tank to use. You must use an "OPD"
gas tank
which offers an Overfill Prevention
Device.
This safety feature prevents the t_nk from being
overfilled which can cause malfunction of the LP
gas tank, regulator and/or grill.
The LP gas tank must be constructed
and
marked in accordance
with specifications
of the U.
S. Dept. of Transportation
(DOT). In Canada, the
LP gas tank must meet the Canadian Transporta-
tion and Communications
(CTC) specifications. Also
be sure to read and follow all LP instructions
below.
1. The LP gas tank has a shutoff valve, termi-
nating in an LP gas supply tank valve outlet,
that is compatible
with a Type 1 tank con-
nection device.
The LP gas tank must also
have a safety relief device that has a direct
connection
with the vapor space of the tank.
2. The tank supply system
must be arranged
for vapor withdrawal.
3. The LP gas tank used must have a collar
to protect the tank valve.
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 !1" 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 ensure 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.
WARNING
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 proper 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 20, step 4,
or calf the Customer Service Helpline for
assistance,
8am - 8pm CST, Monday through
Friday 1-888-317-7642.
