WARNING
A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of
gas indicates
a serious problem with your gas
grill or the LP gas tank. Failure to immedi-
ately follow the steps below could result in a
fire or explosion
that could cause sedous
bodily injury, death, or property damage.
Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.
Turn the Control Knobs to OFF position.
Put out any flame with a proper fire
extinguisher.
Open Grill Lid.
Get away from the LP gas tank.
Do not try to fix the problem
yourself.
If odor continues or you have a fire you
cannot extinguish, call your fire department.
Dc
not call near the LP gas tank. Your
teiephon_
is an electrical device and could create a spark
resulting in fire and/or explosion.
NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the
regulator and hose assembly can create a
humming
noise. A low volume of noise is
normal and will not interfere with operation of
the grill. If humming
noise is loud and exces-
sive you may need to purge air from the gas
line or reset the regulator excess gas flow
device. This purging procedure should be done
every time a new LP gas tank is connected
to your grill. For help with this procedure refer
to page 20, step 4, or call for assistance.

Congratulations
Your Kenmore
Elite 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 page 18 of this
manual.
Checking
For LP Gas Leaks
Never test for leaks with a flame. Prior to first
use, at the beginning of each season, or every
time your LP gas tank is changed,
you must
check for gas leaks. Follow these four steps:
1.Make a soap solution by mixing one part liquid
detergent and one part water.
2.Turn the grill Control Knobs to the full OFF
position,
then turn the gas ON at source.
3 Apply the soap solution to all gas connections.
If bubbles appear in the solution the connec-
tions are not properly sealed. Check each
fitting and tighten or repair as necessary.
4. If you have a gas leak you cannot repair, turn
off gas at the source,
disconnect
fuel line from
your grill and call 1-800-4-MY-HOME®or
your
gas supplier for repair assistance.
