Question: Where can I buy replacement parts?
Answer: For the repair or replacement parts you need
call 6 am - 11 pm CST, 7 days a week 1-800-366-
PART (1-800-366-7278). Use only Sears authorized
parts. The use of any part that is not Sears authorized
can be dangerous and will also void your product
warranty. You will need your model number and serial
number to order parts.
Question: Are the serial and model numbers of my grill
listed somewhere for future reference?
Answer: This information is listed on a silver label found
on the right side of your Grill Head under the Side Shelf.
Question: Sometimes I hear a humming sound
coming from my regulator. What causes this?
Answer: The humming noise is actually the gas
flowing through the regulator. A low volume of noise is
perfectly normal and will not interfere with the opera-
tions 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. Note: 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 17, step 4, or call the
Customer Service Helpline at the number shown
below.
