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.
WARNING
Failure to comply with these instructions
could result
in a fire
or explosion
that
could cause serious bodily injury, death,
or property
damage.
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 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
weIFventilated
area. 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 1-800-4-MY-HOME
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 extinquish,
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.
CAUTION:
Spiders and small insects occa-
sionally spin webs or make nests in the
grill burner tubes during transit and
warehousing.
These webs can lead to a gas
flow obstruction
which could result in a fire
in and around the burner tubes. This type of
fire is known as a "FLASH-BACK"
and can
cause serious damage
to your grill and
create an unsafe operating
condition for the
user.
Although
an obstructed
burner tube is not
the only cause of "FLASH-BACK",
it is the
most common cause.
To reduce the chance of "FLASH-BACK",
you must clean the burner tubes before
assembling
your grill, and at least once a
month in late summer
or early fall when
spiders are most active. Also perform this
burner tube cleaning
procedure
if your grill
has not been used for an extended
period
of time.
