18-1/2 inches high 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 tank 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 Transportation
and
Communications
(CTC) specifications. Also be sure
to read and follow all LP instructions below.
1.
The LP gas tank has a shutoff valve,
terminating
in an LP gas supply tank valve
outlet, that is compatible
with a Type 1 tank
connection
device. The LP gas tank must
also have a safety relief device that has a
direct communication
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 gdll should
net be placed under any
surface that will burn. Do net 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 gdll 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 on bottom shelf or in the vicinity of
this or any other gas gdll.
•
Do not subject the LP gas tank to excessive heat.
•
Never store an LP gas tank indoors. If you
store your gas gdll in the garage or other indoor
location, always
disconnect the LP gas tank
first and store it safely outside.
3
• 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 gdll 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 gdll.
Call Sears at 1-800-366-PART
(1-800-366-
7278) for a Sears authodzed
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 odfices.
• Never allow children
to operate your grill. Do
not allow children
to play near your grill.
Z WARNING
A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of
gas indicates a serious problem with your
gas gdll or the LP gas tank. Failure to
immediately follow the steps listed below
could result in a fire or explosion that could
cause sedous bodily injury, death, or
property damage.
Shut off gas supply to the gas gdll.
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 extinguish,
call your fire department.
Do not call near the LP gas tank because
your telephone
is an electdcal
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 wilt 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 15, step 4,
or call the Customer Service Helpline for
assistance,
8am - 8pm CST, Monday through
Friday 1-888-317-7642.
