Ignitor Check; Spider Alert - Kenmore 415.16649010 Use & Care Manual

Burner Flame Check
• Remove cooking grates and flame tamers. Light burners, rotate
knobs from HIGH to low. You should see a smaller flame in
low position than seen on HIGH Perform burner flame check on
sideburner, and rotisserie also. Always check flame prior to
each use. If only low flame is seen refer to "Sudden drop or low
flame" in the Troubleshooting Section.
Turning Grill Off
• Turn all knobs to OFF position. Turn LP cylinder off by turning
hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop.

Ignitor Check

• Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Push and turn control knob to
and hold in. You will hear a clicking sound as the burner is being
ignited. Ignition should occur within 5 seconds, but continue to
hold the knob in for a full 10 seconds to maintain ignition.
Valve Check
• Important: Make sure gas is off at LP cylinder before
checking valves. Knobs lock in OFF position. To check
valves, first push in knobs and release, knobs should spring
back. If knobs do not spring back, replace valve assembly
before using grill. Turn knobs to LOW position then turn back to
OFF position. Valves should turn smoothly.
Hose Check
• Before each use, check to see if hoses are cut or worn.
Replace damaged hoses before using grill. Use only
valve/hose/regulator specified by manufacturer.
General Grill Cleaning
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the
factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution
of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush
on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely
air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted
or glass surfaces.
• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
?
Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a
concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and
failure of parts can result.
• Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition, most
residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or
specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder
for stubborn stains.
• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive
cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft
nonabrasive cloth.
• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your grill's high quality
appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water
and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on grease
deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning
pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage.
Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.
HIGH
LOW
• Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of
the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on
cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to
clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
CAUTION
Do not remove glass for cleaning.
Glass is not dishwasher safe.
CAUTION

SPIDER ALERT!

SPIDER AND WEBS
INSIDE BURNER TUBE
If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the
flame isn't as strong as it should be, take the time to check and
clean the burner tubes. See section "Cleaning Burner
Assemblies" next page.
CONTROL PANEL
In some areas of the country, spiders or small insects have been
known to create "flashback" problems. The spiders spin webs, build
nests and lay eggs in the grill's
gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the burner tube
behind the control panel. This is known as a flashback and it can
damage your grill and even cause injury.
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and
burner tube assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned
before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.
