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 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 17. step 4. or call for assistance.

CAUTION: When the appliance is not in use, the

Congratulations

Your Kenmore LP 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 15 of this
manual.

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.

4. 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 y@ur
gas supplier for repair assistance.
