Kenmore 122.161249 - Manual (Page 8)

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
BURNER VALVE / REGULATOR
The burner control operates in the following positions indicated by the pointer at the top of the
regulator as installed on the grill:
■ OFF - This stops the flow of gas to the burner.
■ PUSH TO TURN ON - Push “IN” on the knob to release the knob from the locked “OFF”
position.
■ HIGH - This position provides the highest gas flow and the hottest cooking temperatures.
■ MED - This position provides cooking temperatures between HIGH and LOW.
■ LOW - This position provides the lowest cooking temperatures.
COOKING TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
■ HIGH - Approximately 450 F
■ MED - Approximately 400 F
■ LOW - Approximately 350 F
Note: A disposable 1 lb. propane cylinder “NEAR EMPTY” can significantly reduce internal
pressure and may affect the regulator’s capability to accurately control gas flow. As the
propane cylinder reaches empty, this may cause “hotter-than-normal” cooking
temperatures during the final minutes of use.
Note: A disposable 1 lb. propane cylinder will provide approximately 4-6 hours of cooking time
with the Kenmore Table Top Grill.
LIGHTING THE GRILL
1. Make sure the regulator is properly secured into the
burner end.
2. Make sure the propane cylinder is tightly treaded into
the regulator (hand tighten only).
3. Place the legs in the extended position as shown in
Fig. 4.
4. Open lid. Always open lid when lighting.
5. Locate the lighting rod (4-1) on the right side of the
grill as shown in fig. 4. Insert a match into the rod and light match;
then insert rod through the access hole (4-2) next to the burner tube.
Keep flame next to the burner while actuating the gas control knob
on the regulator.
6. Push in the gas control knob of the regulator and turn it counterclockwise to the "HIGH"
position. Watch for the burner to begin flaming. Withdraw match.
7. If ignition does not occur in 3-5 seconds, turn the control knob “OFF”. Wait 5 minutes
before attempting to re-light the grill. If the grill fails to ignite after the second attempt, call
customer service at 1-800-913-8999 for assistance.
8. With burner lit, gently close the lid and allow the grill to warm up for 20-30 minutes prior
to use. Note: If the burner should go out for any reason, turn the control
knob to the “OFF” position. Wait 5 minutes before attempting to re-light.
