Congratulations
Your Kenmore gas grill is now ready for use.
Before the first use and at the beginning
of
each season (and whenever
the LP gas tank
has been changed):
1. Read all safety, lighting and operating
instructions.
2. Check Gas Valve Orifices, Burner Tubes
and Burner Ports for any obstructions.
3. Perform gas leak check according
to
instructions
found on page 16 of this
manual.
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 immedi-
ately follow the steps below could result in a
fire or explosion that could cause serious
bodily injury, death, or property 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. 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
normal and will not interfere with operation
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. 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 18, step 4, or call for assistance.
Checking
For LP Gas Leaks
Never test for leaks with a flame. Prior to first
use, at the beginning of each season, or every
time your LP gas tank is changed,
you must
check for gas leaks. Follow these four steps:
1. Make a soap solution
by mixing one part liquid
detergent and one part water.
2. Turn the grill Control Knobs to the full OFF
position,
then turn the gas ON at source.
3. Apply the soap solution
to all gas connections.
If bubbles appear in the solution
the connec-
tions are not properly sealed. Check each
fitting and tighten or repair as necessary.
.
If you have a gas leak you cannot repair, turn
off gas at the source, disconnect
fuel line from
your grill and call 1-800-4-MY-HOME®or
your
gas supplier for repair assistance.
