Kenmore LIQUID PROPANE GAS (LPG) GRILL 119.1623 - Manual (Page 24)

Flow Limiting Valves on LP Gas Tanks
Your LP gas tank is equipped with a flow limiting
valve that will restrict the flow of gas due to a
sudden change in pressure. This can often activate
without your knowledge. You will notice among
other things that your grill does not get as hot as it
should, will take longer to heat up, or you may not
be able to light all burners. If you notice any of the
above, then you should reset the valve and clear
your gas line.
To do this
1. Ensure the LP gas tank valve is OFF.
Disconnect the regulator from the LP gas
tank.
Open all burner control knobs including the
side burner to Hi/Light at the same time.
Close all burner control knobs to OFF.
Let the LP gas tank stand for at least 10
minutes.
Reconnect the regulator assembly to the LP
gas tank.
Slowly, meaning about 1/4 turn at a time,
turn on the LP gas valve.
Follow the burner lighting procedures to
light the burner farthest away from the gas
source.
The flow limiting valve should now be reset.

This flow limiting valve is triggered by sudden
changes in pressure. This can be caused by a leak,
faulty connection of the regulator to the LP gas
tank, turning on the LP gas tank valve too quickly,
or turning the burners off by turning the LP gas
tank valve off before turning the burner control
knobs to off. Note: always turn off your burners
using the burner control knobs first before turning
the LP gas tank valve off.
Transportation and Storage
1. Place a dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet
whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only
install the type of dust cap on the cylinder
valve outlet that is provided with the
cylinder of propane valve. Other types of
caps or plugs may result in leakage.
2. Always transport your cylinder in an upright
position.
3. Do not smoke when transporting your
cylinder.
Check all connections for LP Gas Leaks
Q 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 three steps:
□ Make a soap solution by mixing one part
liquid detergent and one part water
□ Turn the burner control knobs to the OFF
position. Then turn the gas ON at the source.
□ Apply the soap solution to all gas connections
indicated by the arrows. See diagram. If
bubbles appear in the soap solution the
connections are not properly sealed. Check
each fitting and tighten or repair as
necessary.
