Spiders and small insects can spin webs and
nest in the grill burner tubes during transit and
warehousing which can lead to a gas flow
obstruction resulting in a fire in and around the
burner tubes. This type of "FLASHBACK FIRE"
can cause serious grill damage and create an
unsafe operating condition for the user.
To reduce the chance of a FLASHBACK FIRE
you must clean the burner tubes as follows
before initial use. Also do this at least once a
month in summer and fall or whenever spiders are
active in your area, and if your gril has not been
used for an extended period of time.
1. Remove the screw from the rear of each burner
using a Phillips head screwdriver.
2.Carefully lift each burner up and away from the
gas valve orifice.
3.Check and clean the burner tubes for insects and
insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire
beneath the grill.
4.Refer to the figure below and perform one of
these 3 cleaning methods:
[] METHOD 1: Bend a stiff wire or wire coat
hanger into a small hook as shown and run
the hook through the burner tube and inside
the burner several times to remove debris.
[] METHOD 2: Use a bottle brush with a flexible
handle and run the brush through the burner
tube and inside the burner several times to
remove any debris.
[] METHOD 3: Use an air hose to force air through
each burner tube. The forced air should pass
debris or obstruction through the burner and
out the ports.
For safe operation ensure the gas valve assembly
orifice is inside the burner tube before using
your grill. See figure. If the orifice is not inside the
burner tube, lighting the burner may cause an
explosion and/or fire resulting in serious bodily
injury and/or property damage.
Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) grill models must be
used with the liquid propane gas regulator
assembly supplied. Any attempt to convert the
grill from one fuel type to another is extremely
hazardous and will void the warranty.
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 cabinet.
Never disconnect the gas regulator assembly
or any gas fitting while your grill is lit. A lit grill
can ignite leaking gas and cause a fire or
explosion which could result in property
damage, personal injury or death.
Keep the gas regulator hose away from any
heated surface and dripping grease. Avoid
unnecessary twisting of the hose. Visually
inspect the hose prior to each use for cuts,
cracks, excessive wear, or other damage. If
the hose appears damaged, do not use the gas
grill. Call Sears at 1-800-4-MY-HOME@
(1-800-469-4663) for a Kenmore replacement
gas hose assembly.
