For safe operation ensure the Gas Valve Assem­
bly Orifice is inside the Burner Tube before using

your grill. See figure. If the Orifice is not inside
the Burner Tube, lighting the Burner may cause
explosion and/or fire resulting in serious bodily

injury and/or property damage.

LPG grill models must be used with Liquid

Propane

Gas

and

the

regulator

assembly

supplied. Natural Gas models must be used

with Natural Gas only. Any attempt to convert the

grill from one fuel type to another is extremely
hazardous and will void the warranty.

• Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,

breezeway or any other enclosed area.

Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air around

your gas grill housing.

Never disconnect the gas regulator or any gas

fitting while your grill is lit. A lit grill can ignite

leaking gas and cause a fire or explosion which
could result in property damage, personal injury
or death.

Keep gas regulator hose away from hot

grill

surfaces

and

dripping

grease.

Avoid

unnecessary 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 1-800-4-MY-HOME® (1-800-469-4663)

for a Kenmore replacement hose.
