Pre-Assembly - Kenmore 141.16671 Operator's Manual

Congratulations on your selection of one of the finest
outdoor kitchen appliances available, your Kenmore
Infrared Technology Grill with lateral mount burners
(patent pending) for optimum grilling performance.
Infrared technology grilling, because it heats the food
directly and not the air around it, offers many advan-
tages over conventional design steel tubular or cast
iron burners:
[] MORE FLAVORFUL FOOD as the intense heat
sears the food and locks in the juices while also
cooking it faster which usually means more
succulence,
[]
[]
FEWER FLAREUPS as the higher infrared heat
vaporizes more drippings which also adds natural
flavoring to your food.
MORE EFFIClENCYAND CONVENIENCE as the
higher heat means shorter
cooking times, more fuel efficiency and easier
year round grilling.
To begin your "restaurant quality" grilling, become
familiar with all of the cooking elements of your
Kenmore grill. Review page 18 for lighting instructions
and grill operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Your Kenmore infrared grill is
equipped with an innovative Grease/Water Tray that is
designed to trap excess grease drippings but also to
moisturize your food. It is important to keep this tray
filled with water while grilling in order to get the best
possible results.
WARNING: Grease and water can get very hot. Always
handle the Grease/Water Tray with a heat resistant
glove. Before removing the Tray always be sure that
the grill has properly cooled. Be aware that the tray
does contain water and grease and be extremely
careful when removing the tray to prevent spillage.
Failure to follow these instructions could cause serious
bodily injury or property damage.
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.
