Question:
Can I convert my grill from one fuel type to another in
other words from LPG to NG or vice versa?
Answer:
Yes, however 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 at
1-8O0-4-MY-HOME ®.
Question:
Are the serial and model numbers of my grill listed
somewhere for reference?
Answer:
The serial and model numbers are listed on a silver
CSA label placed on the grill. Depending on the grill
model the silver CSA label will be located on the left or
right side bowl panel underneath the side shelf,
underneath the right side of the control panel, outside
left or right of control panel or on the back of the grill
cabinet.
Question:
My grill will not light properly, Why?
Answer:
Always light the Main Burner farthest from the fuel source
first. This will draw gas across the manifold helping
prevent air pockets which obstruct gas-flow and prevent
proper grill lighting. Also try this procedure:
1. Turn gas off at source and turn Control Knobs OFF.
Wait at least 5 minutes for gas to clear, then retry.
2. if your grill still fails to light, turn the Burner Control
Knob(s) and gas source OFF and conduct a leak test of
ALL gas connections and gas sources as explained in
the Use and Care section of this manual.
3. if no leaks are detected, wait 5 minutes for any gas to
clear and repeat the lighting procedure.
Question:
If my ignitor or battey is not working how can I light
my gril manually?And -Why would I need the silver
lighting stick that hangs from the side of my grill?
Answer:
if your ignition fails to work or your battery needs replacing,
you can manually light your grill by paper match. Insert a
paper match into the silver Lighting Stick and follow the
Manual Grill Lighting instructions. Then, light the match and
place Lighting Stick through a Cooking Grid. Turn the near-
est Control Knob to the Hi setting to release gas. The Burner
should light immediately.
Never lean over the grill cooking area while
lighting your gas grill. Keep your face and body
a safe distance (at least 18 inches) from the
front of grill when lighting your grill by match.
Question:
Sometimes I hear a humming sound coming from my
regulator. What causes this? And- My grill has a low
flame and sometimes will not light. Why?
Answer:
The humming sound is gas flowing through the
regulator. A low volume of sound is normal and will not
interfere with the operation of your grill. Loud or
excessive regulator humming and/or low flow and
intermittent lighting may be caused by the regulator's
excess gas flow device. Opening the tank valve all the
way or too quickly is what triggers the regulator's
safety device to restrict gas flow, preventing excess
gas flow to your grill. Lighting the main Burner farthest
from the fuel source every time will help eliminate air
pockets in the manifold. Note: This procedure should
be done every time a new LP Gas tank is connected to
your grill.
[] Turn all Control Knobs to the OFF position.
[] Turn off the LP Gas tank at the tank valve.
[] Disconnect regulator from LP Gas tank.
[] Let unit stand for 5 minutes.
[] Reconnect regulator to the LP Gas tank.
[] Open grill Lid (or Side Burner Lid if you are lighting
the Side Burner).
[] Turn the tank valve slowly ¼ of one turn.
[] Light main Burner farthest from fuel source.
[] Turn the tank valve slowly one more ¼ of one turn
for ½ of one complete turn.
[] Continue to light Burners moving towards the fuel
source.
[] Do not turn tank valve more than ½ of one turn on
LPG models.
Question:
Where do I use my grill for safer operation and better
performance?
Answer:
[] Strong winds and low temperatures can affect the
heating and performance of your gas grill so
factor in these elements when positioning your
grill outdoors for cooking.
[] 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.
Use your grill at least 3 feet away from any wall or
surface.
