Correct LP Gas Tank Use
LP gas grill models are designed for use with a
standard 20 lb. Liquid Propane Gas (LP gas) tank,
not included in grill box. Never connect your gas
grill to an LP gas tank that exceeds this capacity.
A tank of approximately
12 inches in diameter by
18-1/2 inches high is the maximum
size LP gas
tank to use. You must use an "OPD" gas tank
which offers a listed
Overfill
Prevention
Device.
This safety feature prevents tank from being overfltled
which can cause malfunction of LP gas tank,
regulator and/or grill.
The LP gas tank must be constructed and marked
in accordance with the Specifications
for LP-Gas
linders of the U.S. Department of Transportation
O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/
SA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Trans-
portation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as
applicable.
1. The LP gas tank has a shutoff valve, termi-
nating in an LP gas supply tank valve outlet,
that is compatible
with a Type 1 tank con-
nection device.
The LP gas tank must also
have a safety relief device that has a direct
connection
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. Do not
locate this appliance underoverhead
unprotected
combustible surfaces. Do not obstruct the flow of
ventilation
air around the gasgrill
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 grill 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 upright position.
Do not store (or use) gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this gas grill.
•
LP gas tanks not connected for use must NOT be
stored on bottom shelf or in the vicinity of this or
any other gas grill.
•
Do not subject the LP gas tank to excessive heat.
•
Never store an LP gas tank indoors. If you
store your gas grill in the garage or other indoor
location, always
disconnect the LP gas tank
first and store it safely outside.
• 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 grill is not in use the gas
must be turned off at the LP gas tank.
• The regulator
and hose assembly can be seen
after opening the doors (if applicable),
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 unnec-
essary 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 1-80O-4-MY-HOME ® (1-800-469-4663)
for a
Sears authorized replacement
hose.
• Never light your gas grill with the lid closed or
before checking
to ensure the burner tubes are
fully seated over the gas valve orifices.
• Never allow children to operate your grill. Do
not allow children to play near your grill.
Z WARNING
If you smell gas:
• Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.
• Turn the Control Knobs to OFF position.
• Extinguish any open flame such as candle,
cigarette, lighter, etc., that could cause gas
to ignite.
• Open the 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 depart-
ment.
Do not call near the LP gas tank
because 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
perfectly normal and will 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
call the Grill Information
Center for assis-
tance, 8am - 8pm CST, Monday through
Friday 1-888-317-7642.
