18-1/2incheshighis the maximumsize LP gas tank to use. You must use an "OPD" gas tank which offers an Overfill Prevention Device. This safety feature prevents the tank from being overfilled which can cause malfunction of the LP gas tank, regulator and/or grill. The LP gas tank must be constructed and marked in accordance with specifications of the U. S. Dept. of Transportation (DOT). In Canada, the LP gas tank must meet the Canadian Transportation and Communications (CTC) specifications.
Figure IMPORTANT: your Kenmore Natural Gas Grill cannot be converted to use LP Gas. Attempting to do so is extremely hazardous and will also void the grill warranty. Your natural gas grill is designed to operate on natural gas only, at a pressure of 7" water column (W.C.) (1/4 psi or 1.75 kpa), regulated at the residential meter. Check with your gas utility company for local gas pressure and with your local municipality for building code requirements.
CAUTION: Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the grill Burner Tubes during transit and warehousing. These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruction which could result in a fire in and around the Burner Tubes. This type of fire is known as a "FLASHBACK" and can cause serious damage to your grill and create an unsafe operating condition for the user. To reduce the chance of "FLASHBACK" (see CAUTION at right) clean the Burner Tubes and Burners before fully assembling your grill.

Remove aluminum foil from Orifices and check each Orifice for obstruction.
Regardless of which Burner cleaning procedure you use, we recommend you also complete the following steps to help prolong Burner life. Cleaning The Burner Tubes and Burner Ports To reduce the chance of FLASHBACK the procedure below should be followed at least once a month in late summer or early fall when spiders are most active or when your grill has not been used for a period of time. 1. Use a fiber pad or nylon brush to clean the entire outer surface of each Burner until free of food residue and dirt.
Question: Sometimes my grill does not light when I push the Ignition Button. Why?. Answer: Refer to the Lighting Instructions in this Owner's Manual. Also check these common causes: • Ignition AA battery may need replacing. • Ignition wires may be loose.
