When purchasing or exchanging a cylinder for your gas grill, it must
be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications
for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)
or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339 Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and
Commission, as applicable; and provided with a listed over-filling
prevention device (OPD), and provided with a cylinder connection
device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking
appliances.
The cylinder must also be equipped with:
• A shut-off valve terminating in a Type 1 gas cylinder valve
outlet.
• A Type 1 valve that prevents gas flow until a positive seal
is obtained.
• An arrangement for vapor withdrawal.
• A collar to protect the cylinder shut-off valve.
• A safety relief device having direct communication with
the vapor space of the cylinder.
• A listed over-filling prevention device (OPD).
Turn off the cylinder valve when your grill is not in use.
•Handle the tank with care.
•Always secure the cylinder in an upright position.
•Never connect an unregulated LP gas cylinder to your
grill.
•DO NOT expose LP gas cylinders to excessive heat or
ignition sources.
•DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near
your grill.
•Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to fill or repair your
LP gas cylinder.
•DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80%
capacity.
•Read and follow all warnings and instructions that are on
the cylinder and that accompany this product.
Never store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near your
grill. This could cause excess pressure to be expelled
through the vapor relief valve resulting in fire, explosion,
or severe personal injury including death.
Note: PROPANE GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND WILL
COLLECT IN LOW AREAS.PROPER VENTILATION
IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the LP gas cylinder
enclosure free and clear from obstructions and debris.
DO NOT insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet.
Damage to the back-check could result. A damaged
back-check can cause a leak, possibly resulting in
explosion, fire, severe bodily harm, or death.
FILLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER:
Allow only qualified LP gas dealers to properly fill or
repair your LP gas cylinder.
New tanks should be purged prior to filling; inform LP
gas dealer if you are using a new tank.
DO NOT allow the cylinder to be filled beyond 80%
capacity. Over-filled tanks can create a dangerous
condition. Over-filled tanks can build-up pressure and
cause the relief valve to expel propane gas vapors. The
vapor is combustible and if it comes in contact with a
spark source or flame an explosion causing severe
burns, bodily harm, or death could occur.
The 20 Ib LP cylinder used with this smoker must
conform to the following requirements.
Diameter- 12" (30.5cm)
Height 18" (45.7cm)
With a maximum capacity of 20 pounds. The gas
cylinder used must include a collar to protect the
cylinder valve. The cylinder supply system must be
arranged for vapor withdrawal.
Place dust cap on 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 valve, other types of caps or plugs may result
in leakage of propane.

HOSE AND REGULATOR:
Your grill is equipped with a Type 1 connection device with the
following features:
1. The system will not allow gas flow from the cylinder until a
positive connection to the valve has been made.
Note: The cylinder valve must be turned off before any
connection is made or removed.
2. A thermal device that will shut off the gas flow if the device is
subject to temperatures above 240°F to 300°F (115°C to
150°C). If this should happen, remove the entire regulator
assembly and dispose of properly. In order to insure proper
operation, any replacement of the fuel tank regulator assembly
has to be done with parts authorized by the grill manufacturer.
The cause of the excessive heat should be determined and
corrected before using your grill again.
3. A regulator flow limiting device, when activated, restricts the
flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour. If the flow limiting device
is activated, perform Regulator Resetting Procedure.
REGULATOR RESETTING PROCEDURE:
1.
2.
Make sure that all burners are off. Turn off the cylinder valve
and disconnect regulator from LP gas tank. Wait approximately
two minutes.

(1 to 2 cm) from the burner.
Turn the burner control knob to the "Hi" position.
If ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds, turn control knob to
"OFF", wait 5 minutes to allow gas to clear away and repeat
lighting procedure.
If the burner does not light within the first few attempts of
match lighting, there is a problem with the gas supply. Turn off
the gas at the burner and cylinder. DO NOT attempt to operate
the grill until the problem is found and corrected. See
"Troubleshooting" section of this manual.
Note: Observe flame height when lit: Flame should
be a Blue/Yellow color between 1"-2" when
burner is on "Hi".
TURNING OFF THE GRILL:
1. Turn off the cylinder valve.
2. Turn all burner knobs to OFE
Note: Turn off LP cylinder first to prevent gas from being
left in the system under pressure.

Never use Charcoal or Lighter Fluid inside your Gas Grill.
Read and follow all warnings and instructions contained in
the preceding sections of this manual.
BREAKING IN YOUR GRILL:
•In manufacturing and preserving the components of your grill,
oil residue may be present on the burner and cooking surfaces
of your grill.
• Before cooking on your grill for the first time you should
preheat it for 15 minutes on "Hi" to burn off these residual oils.
PREHEATING THE GRILL:
Prior to use, it is recommended that you preheat your grill. This
ensures that the grilling surfaces are at the desired
temperatures to sear the food sugars when cooking. After
lighting your grill, set the main burner flame adjustment to the
"Hi" position for 10 to 15 minutes.
CONTROLLING FLARE-UPS:
Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a grill. This adds to
the unique flavor of cooking on a gas grill. Excessive flare-ups
can over-cook your food and cause a dangerous situation for
you and your grill. Excessive flare-ups result from the build-up
of grease in the bottom of your grill. If this should occur, DO
NOT pour water onto the flames. This can cause the grease to
splatter and could result in serious burns or bodily harm. If
grease fire occurs turn off the main burners until the grease
burns out. Use caution when opening the lid as sudden
flare-ups may occur.
•DO NOT leave your grill unattended while in use.
•DO NOT move grill when in use.
•DO NOT use water to extinguish flare-ups.
•Have fire extinguisher readily accessible suitable for
use with gas appliances.
TO MINIMIZE FLARE-UPS:
• Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.
• Cook meats with high fat contents (chicken or pork) on Low
settings or indirectly.
• Ensure that your grill is on level ground and the grease is
allowed to evacuate the grill through the drain hole in the
bottom and into grease cup.
INDIRECT COOKING:
Indirect cooking is the process of cooking your food without
the heat source being directly under your food. You can sear
meats over a high flame on one side of the grill while slow
cooking a roast on the other (unlit) side of the grill.
ROTISSERIE COOKING:
• Your grill was pre-drilled from factory to include mounting
holes for a rotisserie (sold separately). Do not use a rotisserie
not specifically manufactured for this grill.
• A rotisserie bracket and instructions are included with this grill
for use with Kenmore Heavy Duty Grill Rotisserie,
Item No. 15803 (sold separately).
• Read and follow all instructions provided with the rotisserie.
Save instructions for future reference.
• Do not use the side burner when using a rotisserie.
THE SIDE BURNER:
• The side burner can be used to prepare side dishes such as
bears, potatoes, CORD,or to warm sauces.
• The burner valve can be adjusted from high to low depending
upon your cooking demands.
•When using an AC current rotisserie, it must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or
in the absence of local codes:
•In the US: The National Electrical Code - ANSI-NFPA
No. 70 - Latest Edition
•In Canada: the Canadian Electrical Code - CSA C22.1
•The Rotisserie is equipped with a three pronged plug for
your protection against electrical shock. This plug
should be plugged directly into a properly grounded 3
prong receptacle. Never cut or remove the grounding
plug. Any extension cord must also have a 3 prong
receptacle.
•All electrical supply cords should be kept away from
water and any hot surfaces of the grill.
•Read instructions on lighting your grill to light the side
burner.
•Never close the side burner cover when the burner is lit.
Use a 10" diameter pot or smaller that does NOT have
an extended handle when cooking on the side burner.
Center pot over burner.
Use caution to avoid bumping grill, side burner or pot to
prevent pot from spilling contents possibly leading to
severe burns.
DO NOT use side burner to deep fry food in oil to avoid
dangers associated with oil igniting creating a very
dangerous situation.

CLEANING
• Always wash hands thoroughly with soap and hot water prior
to handling food and after handling raw meat, uncooked
poultry or seafood.
• When using a platter to carry raw meat, uncooked poultry or
seafood to the grill, make sure to wash the platter thoroughly
with soap and hot water before placing cooked foods back on
the platter, or use different platters for raw and cooked foods.
• Never use the same utensils when handling raw meat,
uncooked poultry or seafood unless you wash the utensils
thoroughly with soap and hot water.
• Never re-use marinade from raw meat or uncooked poultry on
foods that have been cooked and are ready to be served.

Although your burners are constructed of stainless steel, they
may corrode as a result of the extreme heat and acids from
cooking foods. Regularly inspect the burners for cracks,
abnormal holes, and other signs of corrosion damage. If found,
replace the burner.
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air. Burner tubes can become blocked by spiders and other
insects building their nests. Blocked burner tubes can prevent
gas flow to the burners and could result in a burner tube fire or
fire beneath the grill. To clean the Burner Assembly follow
these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner
assembly or if you have trouble igniting the grill.
Turn gas off at control knobs and LP cylinder tank valve.
Remove cooking grills and heat diffusers.
Remove M5 bolt and M5 nut from each burner "foot" using a
screwdriver.
Carefully lift each crossover channel and up and away from
burners.
5. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
6. Use a narrow bottle brush or a stiff wire bent into a small hook
to run through each burner tube and flame port several times.
Note: Wear eye protection when performing procedure 7.
7. Use compressed air to blow into burner tube and out the flame
ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.

PROPER BURNER OPERATION
COOKING GRILLS
Clean with mild soap detergent and water. A brass bristled
brush or a nylon cleaning pad can be used to remove residue
from the stainless steel surfaces. Do not use steel wire bristles
to clean the cooking grills. Steel can cause the finish to chip or
crack. DO NOT use a commercial oven cleaner.
HEAT DIFFUSERS
Periodically, it may be necessary to inspect and clean the heat
diffusers to prevent excess grease build-up. When the grill is
cold, remove the cooking grills. Inspect the heat diffusers and
replace if broken or damaged. Do not allow heat diffusers to
become damaged to the extent that they may fall through onto
the burners. Replace the heat diffusers and cooking grills and
light the burners. Operate the grill on "Hi" for 10 minutes to
remove the excess grease.
BEFORE STORING YOUR GRILL:
Ensure that the cylinder valve is fully closed.
Clean all surfaces.
Lightly coat the burners with cooking oil to prevent excess
rusting.
If storing the grill indoors, disconnect the LP tank and leave the
LP tank OUTDOORS.
Place a protective cap cover on the LP tank and store the tank
outdoors in a well ventilated area out of direct sunlight.
• Clean burner prior to use after storing, at the beginning of
grilling season or after a period of one month not being used.
Spiders and insects like to build nests in burner tubes
(especially during colder months). These nests can cause fires
in burner tubes or under grill.
• If storing the grill outdoors, cover the grill with a grill cover for
protection from the weather.
