LP Gas Tank Installation
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 with grill. 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 overfilled 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
Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation
(D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/
CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for
Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commis­
sion, as applicable.
□ The LP Gas tank must have a shutoff valve,
terminating in an LP Gas supply tank valve outlet
that is compatible with a Type 1 tank connection
device. The LP Gas tank must also have a safety
relief device that has a direct connection with the
vapor space of the tank.
□ The tank supply system must be arranged for
vapor withdrawal.
□ The LP Gas tank used must have a collar
to protect the tank valve.
□ 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 pres­
sure 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. See Parts List.
□ Have your LP Gas dealer check the release valve
after every filling to ensure it remains free of defects.
□ Always keep LP Gas tank in upright position.
□ 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 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.
□ The regulator and hose assembly can be seen
after opening the doors (if applicable) and 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 using the grill again.
□ 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 or pets to play near your grill.
□ Use of alcohol or drugs may impair the ability to
assemble and operate the appliance.
□ Keep fire extinguisher readily accessible. In the
event of a oil/grease fire, do not attempt to
extinguish with water. Use type B extinguisher
or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda.
□ In the event of rain, cover the grill and turn off
the burner and gas supply.
□ Use your grill on a level, stable surface in an
area clear of combustible materials.
□ Do not leave grill unattended when in use.
□ Do not move the appliance when in use.
□ Allow the grill to cool before moving or storing.
□ Do not use your grill as a heater.
□ This grill is not intended to be installed in or on
recreational vehicles and/or boats.
A Do not store a spare LP-Gas tank under or near
this appliance.
B. Never fill the tank beyond 80 percent full; and
C. If the information in "(a)" and "(b)" is not followed
exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may
occur.
Use your grill outdoors, at least 3 feet away
from any wall or surface. Use your grill at
least 3 feet away from combustible objects
that can melt or catch fire (such as vinyl or wood
siding, fences and overhangs) or sources of
ignition including pilot lights on water heaters
and live electrical appliances.
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.
