If knobs do not spring back, replace valve assembly before using grill. Turn knobs to LO position then turn back to OFF position. Valves should turn smoothly.

Hose Check
Before each use, check to see if hose is cut or worn. Replace damaged hose before using grill. Use only identical Kenmore replacement valve/hose/regulator assembly.

General Grill Cleaning

• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint. Interiors of gas grills are not painted at the factory (and should never be painted) . Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of grill lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
• Plated wire grate : Wash grate and VapoRISER bars with concentrated grill cleaner or use soap and water solution. Dry thoroughly and store indoors between cookouts.
• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
• Porcelain grates: Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.

Repainting Your Grill

• After extended use and exposure to weather, paint on grill may deteriorate or become spotted. Although this detracts from grill’s appearance, it will not impair its performance.
• To refinish your grill brush outside of grill lid and bottom with wire brush and lightly sand with fine grit sandpaper. Sanding allows new paint to adhere more easily. Wash grill lid and bottom with soap and water to remove dust and grease. Do not use a grill cleaner on outside of grill. Wipe with vinegar. Refinish outside with heat-resistant paint. Do not paint inside of grill.

CAUTION
NATURAL HAZARD  SPIDERS

FACT: Sometimes spiders and other small insects climb into the burner tubes attached to the burners. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs. The webs or nests can be very small, but they are very strong and can block the flow of gas. Clean burners prior to use after storing, at the beginning of grilling season or after a period of one month not being used.

Spider guards are on the air intakes in an effort to reduce this problem, but it will not eliminate it! An obstruction can result in a “flashback” (a fire in the burner tubes). The grill may still light, but the obstruction does not allow full gas flow to the burners.

IF YOU EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING:

1. Smell gas.
2. Burner(s) will not light.
3. A small yellow flame from burner (should be blue).
4. Fire coming from around or behind control knob.

STOP!
Immediately turn off gas at LP tank!

SOLUTION:
Wait for grill to cool.
Follow the “Cleaning The Burner Assembly” instructions. Clean burners often. Use a 12” pipe cleaner to clean out the burner tubes. You may also force a stream of water from a hose nozzle through burner tubes to clean them.

Cleaning The Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.

1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP tank.

2. Remove cooking grate, VapoRISER bars and VapoRiSER bar wire.

3. Remove grease can from beneath grill. Beneath control panel, disconnect ignitor wire from ignitor.

4. Remove screw holding collector box. Note which hole on collector box used for attaching to burner. Remove collector box and clean ceramic portion of electrode with rubbing alcohol and cloth.

5. Under control panel, disengage burner springs from burner tubes. Do not remove springs from valves.

6. To remove burner, slide backwards, lift up and out of grill.

7. Clean outside of burner with soap and water. Lay burner upside down on flat surface. Force a stream of water through tubes. Make sure water comes out of all burner holes. Open clogged holes with a thin wire. Shake out excess water and examine holes. Due to normal wear and corrosion, some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.

8. If grill is to be stored, coat burner lightly with cooking oil. Wrap in protective cover to keep insects out. If not storing grill after cleaning, hold burner at an angle and insert into grill bottom.

9. After cleaning, insert wire and electrode into hole in grill bottom. Reattach collector box to burner with screw. to use correct hole.

10. Place end of spring into hole on underside of burner tube, as before, to secure burner. See figure A.
    VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tube must engage valve opening as shown.

11. Reattach round connector of ignitor wire to ignitor.

12. Reposition VapoRISER bar wire, VapoRISER bars and cooking grate. Reattach clean can to grease clip.

13. Before cooking again on grill, follow “Burner Flame Check”

Storing Your Grill

• Clean cooking grates.
• Store in dry location.
• When LP tank is connected to grill, store outdoors in well-ventilated space and out of reach of children.
• Cover grill if stored outdoors.
• Store grill indoors ONLY if LP tank is turned off and disconnected, removed from grill and stored outdoors.
• When removing grill from storage follow “Cleaning Burner Assembly” instructions before starting grill.instructions before starting grill.

Grill Smoking
The grill you have purchased offers a new burner system that allows you to get more out of your grill. Not only does this new system offer maximum flexibility by allowing for direct and indirect cooking; there is also a grill smoking feature for adding smoked flavor to your grilled food.

Direct Cooking
Use both burners to heat the grill for searing of the meat. Once the meat has been seared, turn the burners to LO to cook meat thoroughly.

Indirect Cooking
Once the grill is preheated, turn one of the burners off and place your meat on the grate above the burner that is NOT burning. This indirect method of cooking allows you to slow cook poultry or large cuts of meat without the touch of a direct flame.

• Always cook with the lid closed.
• Due to weather conditions, cooking times may vary. During cold and windy conditions the temperature setting may need to be increased to insure sufficient cooking temperatures.

1. Ignite the LEFT burner. For slow cooking, adjust the control knob to the LO setting. For faster cooking, adjust the control knob to the HI setting.
2. Place the food on the RIGHT side of the cooking grate.
3. Because the heat source is only on one side, the food should be rotated at least once during cooking to insure even cooking. Use a meat thermometer to determine when the food is done.

VapoRISER Smoking Tray
This is where your new Kenmore grill really shines. This unique burner system allows you to introduce smoke into the cooking chamber for added flavor. There are two VapoRISER bars. Turn one of them upside-down to use as a tray to accept wet wood chips (see illustrations). Be sure to interlock the notches on the upside-down bar together with those on the other bar so that the bar assembly nests securely in the bar wire. Now you can add your favorite flavor of wood chips to add smoke flavor to your meat and a nice aroma to your cooking area.
You will need:

Aromatic wood chips  Heavy-duty aluminum foil
Soak 2 cups of wood chips for two hours. Tear off a piece of aluminum foil a little larger than the VapoRISER bar. Place the soaked chips into the foil and turn up the side to seal the chips inside. Punch pea-sized holes in the top of the foil pouch. Turn one VapoRISER bar upside-down on the VapoRISER bar wire and place pouch inside tray.

Smoking time for a pouch is approximately 30 minutes with burner on LO, with lid closed. Make two or three pouches at one time for meats that require longer smoking/cooking times.

IMPORTANT: Return VapoRISER smoking tray to its normal upright position when not used for smoking.

Food Safety
Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria, follow these four basic steps:

Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water before and after handling raw meat and poultry.
Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and utensils when removing cooked foods.
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.

How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly

• Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the outside. Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to check for visual signs of doneness.
• Whole poultry should reach 180° F; breasts, 170° F. Juices should run clear and flesh should not be pink.
• Hamburgers made of any ground meat or poultry should reach 160° F, and be brown in the middle with no pink juices. Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to 145°F. All cuts of pork should reach 160° F.
• NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later. Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.
• When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats like hot dogs, grill to 165° F, or until steaming hot.

Cooking Chart
Cooking times and temperatures may vary according to specific recipes, cooking conditions or barbecue equipment used. Take these factors into consideration to insure best results. If you use the indirect cooking method (indirect cooking is lighting only one burner and placing food on opposite side of cooking grate), allow more grilling time.
Temperatures: High = 650°F / Medium = 450°F / Low = 300°F.

• Check to see if LP tank is empty. If LP tank is not empty, refer to “Sudden drop in gas flow”.
• Turn the coupling nut about one-half to three quarters additional turn until solid stop. Tighten by hand only-do not use tools.
• Clear burner tube(s).
• Reengage burner and valve. Reattach spring clips.
• Check steps in assembly instructions.

Sudden drop in gas flow or low flame.|

• Out of gas.
• Excess flow valve tripped.

|

• Check for gas in LP tank.
• Turn off knobs, wait 30 seconds and light grill. If flames are still low, turn off knobs and LP tank valve. Disconnect regulator. Reconnect regulator and leak test. Turn on LP tank valve, wait 30 seconds and then light grill.

Flames blow out.| •   High or gusting winds.

•   Low on LP gas.

•   Excess flow valve tripped.

| •   Turn front of grill to face wind or increase flame height.

•   Refill LP tank.

•   Refer to “Sudden drop in gas flow” above.

Flare-up.|

• Grease buildup.
• Excessive fat in meat.
• Excessive cooking temperature.

|

• Clean grill.
• Trim fat from meat before grilling.
• Adjust (lower) temperature accordingly.

Persistent grease fire (can damage the appearance of aluminum castings on the grill).| Grease trapped by food buildup around burner system.| Turn knobs to OFF. Turn gas off at LP tank. Leave lid in position and let fire burn out. After grill cools, remove, clean all parts and replace grease can.
Flashback…

(fire in burner tube(s).

| Burner and/or burner tubes are blocked.| Turn knobs to OFF. Clean burner and/or burner tubes.
Unable to fill LP tank.| Some dealers have older fill nozzles with worn threads.| The worn nozzles don’t have enough “bite” to engage the valve. Try a second LP dealer.
