Question: Can I convert my Kenmore gas grill from
one fuel type to another?
Answer: Your Kenmore gas grill is manufactured to
exact specifications and is approved by the Canadian
Standards Association (CSA) for LP gas use only. For
your own safety, conversion kits are not available and
any attempt to convert your grill from LP gas to Natural
Gas will void your product warranty.
Question: Are the serial and model numbers of my
grill listed somewhere for future reference?
Answer: Yes, this valuable information is listed on a
silver label found on the right side of your Gdll Head
under the Side Shelf.
Question: Why doesn't the hose and regulator assem-
bly supplied with my new Kenmore grill fit the older LP
gas tank I've used for years?
Answer: The U.S. Government regulates gas appli-
ances and LP gas tanks. Whenever new regulations are
passed the LP gas tank fittings are altered. If your
current tank does not fit the hose and regulator supplied
with your new gdli, the tank is outdated and must be
replaced.
Question: What can cause grill parts to rust and what
affect does it have on the grill materials.
Answer: Rusting is a natural oxidation process and may
appear on Cast-Iron Burners, Steel Cooking Grids,
Steel Flame Tamers and steel cart parts. Because your
gdll is manufactured with heavy gauge steel, rust will not
affect the short term performance of your grill or affect
the taste of your foods.
To protect against the natural rusting process, your
Cooking Gdds and Flame Tamers have a porcelain
finish. However, dropping, scraping or scratching these
items will damage the porcelain finish and allow rusting.
To minimize rusting we recommend you "season" the
Cooking Grids regularl_efore
and after each use.
Consistent seasoning will help cast-iron resist rusting
and will create a non-stick cooking surface.
Question: How do I season my Cooking Grids?
Answer:
Before and after each cookout, apply a thin
layer of cooking oil, spray or vegetable shortening to
each Cooking Grid. Be sure to coat the entire surface
including edges and any areas with chipped porcelain.
Insert the Cooking Grids into your warm grill for 2 to 3
minutes.
Question: Sometimes my gdll does not light when I
push the Ignitor Button. Why?
Answer: Refer to the Lighting Instructions in this
Owner's Manual. Also check these common causes.
• Ignitor AA battery may need replacing.
•Ignitor wires may be loose. Remove the AA
battery, inspect the Ignitor Junction Box found
behind the Control Panel, and connect any loose
wires.
Question: What is the best way to protect my new
Kenmore gas gdll from the weather?
Answer: A good quality grill cover should be used to
protect your grill when not in use. Kenmore Grill Cover
#15831 is made to fit this particular grill model. Also,
follow the cleaning and maintenance instructions in this
Owner's Manual on a timely basis, and your new gdll will
give you years of enjoyment.
Question: Where can I buy replacement parts?
Answer: For the repair or replacement parts you
need call 6 am - 11 pm CST, 7 days a week 1-800-
366-PART (1-800-366-7278).
Use only Sears autho-
rized parts. The use of any part that is not Sears
authorized can be dangerous and will also void your
product warranty.
Question: Sometimes I hear a humming sound
coming from my regulator. What causes this?
Answer: The humming noise is actually the gas
flowing through the regulator. A low volume of noise is
perfectly normal and will not interfere with the opera-
tions of the grill. If humming noise is loud and exces-
sive you may need to purge air from the gas line or
reset the regulator excess gas flow device. Note: This
purging procedure should be done every time a new
LP gas tank is connected to your grill. For help with
this procedure refer to page 15, step 4, or call the
Customer Service Helpline, 8am - 8pm CST,
Monday through Friday at
1-888-317-7642.
