Congratulations
Your Kenmore 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 this page of the manual.
Installing cooking components
Important: Before cooking on your grill the first time,
wash cooking grids and cooking rack with warm ,
soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Season with
cooking oil regularly. After cooking is completed, turn
grill to HIGH setting for 3 to 5 minutes to burn off
excess grease or food residue.
1. Evenly space cooking grids on the ledge above
flame tamers. (Fig.14)
2. Place warming rack into the holes of the upper left
and upper right of grill bowl side panels. (Fig.14)
Connecting LP gas tank to LP grill
1.From Rear of the cart, place foot ring of 20 lb tank
into the hole in bottom shelf. Make sure the tank
valve is in OFF position. (Fig.15)
2. Check the tank valve to ensure it has proper
external mating threads to fit the hose and regulator
assembly provided.
3. Make sure all burner valves are in OFF position.
4. Inspect the valve connection port and regulator
assembly. Look for damage or debris. Remove any
debris. Inspect hose for damage. Never use
damaged or plugged equipment.
5. When connecting regulator and hose assembly to
tank valve hand tighten quick coupling nut clockwise
to a full stop. (Fig.16) Do not use a wrench to tighten
because it could damage the quick coupling nut and
result in a hazardous condition.
6. Open tank valve fully (counterclockwise). Use a
soapy water solution to check all connections for
leaks before attempting to light your grill. If a leak is
found, turn tank valve off and do not use your grill
until the leak is repaired.
CAUTION: When the appliance is not in use, gas
must be turned off at the supply tank.
