CORRECT LP GAS TANK USE [] LP Gas grill models are designed for use with a standard 20 lb. Liquid Propane Gas (LP Gas) tank, not included with grill. Never connect your gas grill to an LP Gas tank that exceeds this capacity. A tank of approximately 12 inches in diameter by 18-1/2 inches high is the maximum size LP Gas tank to use. You must use an "OPD" gas tank which offers a listed Overfill Prevention Device. This safety feature prevents tank from being overfitled which can cause malfunction of LP Gas tank, regulator and/or grill. [] The LP Gas tank must be constructed and marked in accordance with the Specifications for LP-Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/ CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable. [] The LP Gas tank must have a shutoff valve, terminating in an LP Gas supply tank valve outlet, that is compatible with a Type 1 tank connection device. The LP Gas tank must also have a safety relief device that has a direct connection with the vapor space of the tank. [] Never allow children to operate your grill. Do not allow children or pets to play near your grill. [] Use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs can impair your ability to properly assemble and safely operate your grill. [] Keep fire extinguisher readily accessible. In the event of a oil/grease fire, do not attempt to extinguish with water. Use type B extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda. [] In the event of rain, cover the grill and turn off the burner and gas supply. [] Use your grill on a level, stable surface in an area clear of combustible materials. [] Do not leave grill unattended when in use. [] Do not move the appliance when in use. [] Allow the grill to cool before moving or storing. [] Do not use your grill as a heater. [] This grill is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats. [] The grill is not intended for commercial use. [] Never use charcoal in this gas grill. [] The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. [] The LP Gas tank used must have a collar to protect the tank valve. [] Never connect an unregulated LP gas tank to your gas grill. The gas regulator assembly supplied with your gas grill is adjusted to have an outlet pressure of 11" water column (W.C.) for connection to an LP gas tank. Only use the regulator and hose assembly supplied with your gas grill. Replacement regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by the Manufacturer. [] Have your LP Gas dealer check the release valve after every filling to ensure it remains free of defects. [] Always keep LP Gas tank in upright position. [] Do not subject the LP Gas tank to excessive heat. [] Never store an LP Gas tank indoors. If you store your gas grill in the garage always disconnect the LP Gas tank first and store it safely outside. [] LP Gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a wellventilated area and out of the reach of children. [] Disconnected LP Gas tanks must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area. [] The regulator and hose assembly can be seen after opening the doors (if applicable) and must be inspected before each use of the grill. If there is excessive abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to using the grill again. A. Do not store a spare LP-Gas tank under or near this appliance. B. Never fill the tank beyond 80 percent full; and C. If the information in "(a)" and "(b)" is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur. • Use your grill at least 3 feet away from any wall or surface. Use your grill at least 3 feet away from combustible objects that can melt or catch fire such as vinyl or wood siding, fences and overhangs or sources of ignition including pilot lights on water heaters and live electrical appliances. • Outdoor cooking gas appliance shall not be used under overhead combustible construction. • 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 housing. • In windy conditions, always position the front of grill to face oncoming wind to reduce smoke and heat blowing in your face and prevent potential hazards to self and grill. [] Any attempt to convert the grill from one fuel type to another is extremely hazardous and must be performed by a qualified gas technician only, using a NG Conversion Kit purchased from Sears. [] Never light your gas grill with the lid closed or before checking to ensure the burner tubes are fully seated over the gas valve orifices. 15
