Warranty Restrictions
•
•
•

This warranty is void if grill is used for commercial or rental purposes.
This warranty applies only when the grill is
used in the United States.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights,
and you may also have other rights which vary
from state to state.

IMPORTANT: Your Kenmore LP Gas Grill cannot
be converted to use Natural Gas. Attempting to do
so is extremely hazardous and will also void the
grill warranty.
Grill Installation Codes
The installation must conform with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with either the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or CAN/
CGA-B14g.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Code.

Sears, Roebuck and Co., Dept. 817WA,
Hoffman Estates, IL 60179

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 in grill box. Never connect your gas
_ritl to an LP gas tank that exceeds this capacity.
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 overfltled
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.
1. The LP gas tank has 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.
2. The tank supply system must be arranged
for vapor withdrawal.
3. The LP gas tank used must have a collar
to protect the tank valve.
Proper Placement and Clearance of Grill
Never use your gas grill in a garage, porch, shed,
breezeway or any other enclosed area. Your gas grill is
to be used outdoors only, at least 24 inches from the
back and side of any combustible surface. Do not
locate this appliance underoverhead unprotected
combustible surfaces. Do not obstruct the flow of
ventilation air around the gasgrill housing.
This outdoor gas grill is not intended to be installed in
or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.
•

•

•
•

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 Sears.
Have your LP gas tank filled by a reputable
propane gas dealer and visually inspected and
re-qualified at each filling.
Never fill the gas tank beyond 80% full.
Have your propane gas dealer check the
release valve after every filling to ensure that it
remains free of defects.
Always keep LP gas tanks in upright position.
Do not store (or use) gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this gas grill.
LP gas tanks not connected for use must NOT be
stored on bottom shelf or in the vicinity of this or
any other gas grill.
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 or other indoor
location, always disconnect the LP gas tank
first and store it safely outside.

• LP gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a
well-ventilated 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.
• When your gas grill is not in use the gas
must be turned off at the LP gas tank.
• The regulator and hose assembly can be seen
after opening the doors (if applicable), 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 the grill being
used again.
• Keep the gas regulator hose away from hot
grill surfaces and dripping grease. Avoid unnecessary twisting of hose. Visually inspect hose
prior to each use for cuts, cracks, excessive
wear or other damage. If the hose appears
damaged do not use the gas grill. Call Sears
at 1-800-4-MY-HOME ® (1-800-469-4663) for a
Sears authorized replacement hose.
• 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.
• Never allow children to operate your grill. Do
not allow children to play near your grill.

,4kWARNING
If you smell gas:
• Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.
• Turn the Control Knobs to OFF position.
• Extinguish any open flame such as candle,
cigarette, lighter, etc., that could cause gas
to ignite.
• Open the Grill Lid.
• Get away from the LP gas tank.
• Do not try to fix the problem yourself.
• If odor continues or you have a fire you
cannot extinguish, call your fire department.
Do not call near the LP gas tank
because your telephone is an electrical
device and could create a spark resulting
in fire and/or explosion.
NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the
regulator and hose assembly can create a
humming noise. A low volume of noise is
perfectly normal and will not interfere with
operation of the grill. If humming noise is
loud and excessive you may need to purge
air from the gas line or reset the regulator
excess gas flow device. This purging procedure should be done every time a new LP
gas tank is connected to your grill. For help
call the Grill Information Center for assistance, 8am - 8pm CST, Monday through
Friday 1-888-317-7642.

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. If
your residential gas line pressure has not been
regulated to 7" W.C., contact your local gas utility
company for professional assistance.

Electrode

Installing Cooking Components

Check - Requires an Assistant

Before placing the cooking components into your
grill, ensure that the Spark Electrode Tip is properly
positioned within each Gas Collector Box ( a 4"
wide stainless mechanism found at the front between each set of Burners.) The easiest way to
ensure this is to perform this Electrode Check:

Important: Before cooking on your grill the first
time, wash the Cooking Grids and Cooking Rack
with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
After cooking is completed, turn grill to HIGH
setting three to five minutes to bum off rear grease
or food residue.

Be sure all Control Knobs are set to "OFF"
and open the Grill Lid.

1. Place the four Stainless Steel Flame Tamers on
the lower ledge above Burners. See Figure 5.

Have an assistant stand behind to the right of
the grill and look down at each Gas Collector
Box. NEVER put your face inside Grill Head.

2. Evenly space the Stainless Steel Cooking Grids
(cross braces are bottom side) on the ledge
above the Flame Tamers.

Press the Ignitor Cap. You should hear a
"clicking" sound and your assistant should see
a small blue spark within each Gas Collector
Box. If a spark is present the Electrode Tips
are properly positioned.

Place the Stainless Steel Secondary Cooking
Rack into the slots on the upper left and
upper right of Grill Bowl Side Panels. See
Figure 5.

4. Remove Fastening Band from Pot Support and
place the Pot Support into the Side Burner
Body-Inner. See Figure 5.

If no spark is seen the Spark Gap shown in
Figure 4 needs to be adjusted as follows:
Using an adjustable wrench, loosen the Inside
Nut just until the Gas Collector Box can be
maneuvered and turned upward.
The gap between the Spark Electrode Tip and
Spark receiver should be approximately 3/16".
If the gap is wider than 3/16" use a pair of long
nose pliers and gently squeeze the Gas Collector
Box until the gap is correct.

Return the Gas Collector Box to its original horizontal position, secure the Inside Nut and try the

Before initial use and periodically we suggest you wash
your Cooking Grids in a mild soap and warm water
solution. You can use a wash cloth or vegetable brush
to clean your Cooking Grids.

10. Replace Flame Tamers and the Cooking Grids.

Cleaning The Flame Tamers

Cleaning Exterior Surfaces:

Periodically you should wash the Flame Tamers in a
soap and warm water solution. Use a vegetable brush
to remove stubborn burnt-on cooking residue. Dry the
Flame Tamers thoroughly before you reinstall them into
the cooking bowl.

Before initial use, and periodically thereafter, we
suggest you wash your grill using a mild soap and
warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or
sponge for this process. Do not use a stiff wire or
brass brush that might remove paint during the cleaning process.

11. Reconnect the gas source and observe the Burner
flame for correct operation.

Cleaning The Grease Tray and Receptacle
Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces:

To reduce the chance of fire, the Grease Draining Tray
and Grease Receptacle should be visually inspected
before each grill use. Remove any grease and wash
Grease Tray and Receptacle with a mild soap and
warm water solution.

Weathering and extreme heat can cause exterior
stainless steel surfaces to turn tan in color. Machine
oils used in the manufacturing process of stainless
steel can also cause this tanning color. After removing
the protective PVC film from the Grill Lid and Control
Panel use a Stainless Steel Cleaner to polish the
stainless steel surfaces of your grill. Never use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers because they will scratch
and damage your grill. Follow these steps for the best
results.

Cleaning the Inside of the Grill Lid
Grease can have a tendency to build up on the inside
of the Grill Lid and could drip onto deck or patio when
the lid is opened. Visually inspect the inside of the Grill
Lid before each grill use. Remove any grease and wash
with a mild soap and warm water solution.

Annual Cleaning of The Grill Interior
Burning-offthe grill afterevery cookout will keep it
ready for instant use. However, once a year you should
give the entire grill a thorough cleaning to keep it in top
operating condition. Follow these steps:

Turn the LP gas tank valve (clockwise) to the full OFF
position. Disconnect the regulator and hose assembly from LP gas tank. Cover exposed gas fitting with
aluminum foil.

2. Remove dirt or grease using a soft cloth and polish
stainless surfaces. Wipe with a soft cloth.
3. Remove aluminum foil from exposed gasfitting and
allow grill to air dry before attaching the regulator
and hose to your LP gas tank.

1. Turn all Burner Valves to the full OFF position.
2. Turn the LP gas tank valve to the full OFF position.
.

Keep outdoor cooking gasappliance area clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vaporsand liquids.

Detach the LP gas hose and regulator assembly from
your gasgritl. Use a 7/8" open end wrenchturning the
fitting counter-clockwise.
Inspect for any damage
and replace as necessary with Kenmore replacement part number found on the Parts List.
Remove and clean the Flame Tamers, Cooking
Grids, Cooking Rack and Grill Burners.

Cleaning The Burner Tubes and Burner Ports

Regardtessof which Burner cteaning procedure you
use, we recommend you also complete the following
steps to help prolong Burner life.

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.

1. Turn all Burner Valves to the full OFF position.

2. Clean any clogged Ports with a stiff wire, such as
an open paper clip.

2. Turn the LP gas tank valve to the full OFF position.

3. Detach the LP gas regulator assembly from your
gas grill.
4.

Remove the Cooking Grids, Flame tamers, and
Grease Trays from your grill.

Inspect each Burner for damage (cracks or holes)
and if such damage is found, order and install a
new Burner. After installation, check to ensure
that the Gas Valve Orifices are correctly placed
inside the ends of the Burner Tubes. Also check
the position of your Spark Electrode.

5. Remove the Cotter Pin from the rear underside of
each Burner using a pair of long nose pliers.

WARNING

6. Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the
Gas ValveOrifice.

The location of the Burner Tube with respect
to the Orifice is vital for safe operation.
Check to ensure the Orifice is inside the
Burner Tube before using your gas grill. See
Figure 2. If the Orifice is not inside the
Burner Tube, lighting the Burner may cause
explosion and/or fire.

7. Check and clean burner/venturi tubes for insects
and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire
beneath the grill.
8. Refer to Figure 1 and perform one of these
three cleaning methods:

Question: What is the best way to protect my new
Kenmora gas grill from the weather?
Answer: A good quality grill cover should be used to
protect your grill when not in use. Sears offers a cover
that is made to fit this particular grill model. Also, follow
the cleaning and maintenance instructions in this
Owner's Manual on a timely basis, and your new grill will
give you years of enjoyment.

Question: Can I convert my Kenmore gas grill from
one fuel type to another?
Answer: Your Kenmore gas grill is manufactured to
exact specifications and isapproved by the Canadian
StandardsAssociation (CSA). Foryearown safety,
conversion kits are not available and any attempt to
convert year gritt from one gas type to another wilt void
your product warranty.

Question: Where can I buy replacement parts?
Answer: For the repair or replacement parts you need
call 6 a"n - 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
wilt need your model number and serial number to
order parts.

Question: Why doesn't the hose and regulator assembly supplied with my new Kenmore grill fit the older LP
gas tank rye used for years?
Answer: The U.S. Government regulates gas appliances
and LP gas tanks. Whenever new regulations are passed
the LP gas tank fittings are altered. If your tank does not
fit the hose and regulator supplied with your newgrilt, the
tank is outdated and must be replaced.

Question: Are the serial and model numbers of my grill
listed somewhere for future reference?

Question: What can cause gdHparts to rust and what
affect does it have on the grill materials.

Answer: This information is listed on a silver labe! found
on the right side of year Grill Head under the Side Shelf.

Answer: Rusting is a natural oxidation process and may
appear on cast-iron and steel parts. Rust will not affect
the short term performance of your grill or affect the taste
of year leads.

Question: Sometimes I heara humming sound
coming from my regulator. What causes this?
Answer: The humming noise is actually the gas
flowing through the regulator. A tow volume of noise is
perfectly normal and wilt not interfere with the operations of the grill. If humming noise is loud and excessive 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
Grill Information Center at the number shown below.

Stainless steel grill parts will not rust. However, weathering and extreme heat can cause stainless steel Lid
surfaces to turn tan color. This is discoloration, not rust.
Question: How can I minimize the risk of rust or
stainless steal discoloration?
Answer: To protect against the natural rusting process,
the Burners have a porcelain finish. However, dropping,
scraping or scratching these items will danage the
porcelain finish and allow rusting. We recommend you
"season" these items before and after each use. Consistent seasoning wilt help deter rusting and wilt create an
easy to clean cooking surface.

Question: Why doesn't the Fuel Gauge Display show
the tank level after"CHECK" bu_on pressing?
Answer: Make sure the Wire Plug "A" from Fuel Gauge
Display is connected with the Wire Plug "B" from rear of
Tank Pull-Out Tray. O_ it might be that 20 seconds have
not elapsed from the first time that you pressed "Check"
and therefore your second pressing of "Check" has manually turned the fuel gauge to "off". Simply repress"Check"
to manually turn the fuel gauge to "on".

Weathering and extreme heat can cause exterior
stainless steel surfaces to turn tan in color - which is
not to be confused with rust. Machine oils used in the
manufacturing process of stainless steel can also
cause this tanning color. After removing the protective
PVC film from your Grill Lid use a Stainless Steel
Cleaner to poiish the inside and outside of your grill
Lid. Never use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. Follow
the easy "Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces"
procedures found in this Owner's Manual.
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. Remove the AA battery,
inspect the Ignitor Junction Box found behind the
Control Panel, and connect any loose wires.

Indirect Cooking
The indirect cooking method can also be used with the
supplied Cooking Grids. To cook indirectly, the food
should be placed on the left or right side of your gritl
with the Burner lit on the opposite side. Or place your
food on the Secondary Cooking Rack mounted inside
your grill bowl and light the 2 outer grill Burners. Either
way, indirect cooking must be done with the Lid
down.

AkWARNING
Your grill will get very hot. Always wear a
flame retardant BBQ Mitt when cooking on your
grill. Never lean over cooking areas while using
grill. Do not touch cooking surfaces, Lid, grill
housing or other parts while grill is in operation,
or until the grill has cooled down after use.
Failure to comply with these instructions
may result in serious bodily injury.

Seasoning Cooking Grids
Before and a_er each cookout, apply a thin layer of
cooking oil, spray or vegetable shortening to each
Cooking Grid. Be sure to coat the entire surface including edges and any areas with chipped porcelain. Insert
the Cooking Grids intoyour warm grill for2 to 3 minutes.

Bum-Off
Before cooking on your gas grill for the first time, you will
want to "burn off" the grill to eliminate any odor or
foreign matter. Just ignite the burners, tower the Lid, and
operate grill on the HIGH setting for three to five minutes.

Flare-Ups
The fats and juices dripping from grilled food can cause
fl are-ups. S ince flare-ups im part a favorably, disti nctive
taste and color to food cooked over an open flame,
they should be accepted up to a point. Nevertheless,
uncontrolled flaring can result in a ruined meal.

CAUTION:
Operating your grill on the HIGH setting for longer than
five minutes may damage certain parts of your grill. Do
not leave your grill unattended.

/ WARNING

Preheating
To preheat, light your grill on HIGH, lower the Lid and
foIlowthistimetabIe:
•
•
•

Do not line the bottom of the grill housing
with aluminum foil, sand or any substance
that wilt restrict the flow of grease into the
Grease Draining Tray and Receptacle.

For high tern peratura cooking preheat grill
3 to 5 minutes.
Forlowtemperaturecooking,

2. Check gas valve orifices, burnertubes and burner
ports for any obstructions.
3. Perform gas leak check.

NOTE: Temperature settingswilt varywith the temperature and the amount of wind outside your home.

Before each use of your grill:
1. Pull out the Grease Trayand remove all grease and
food debris to prevent grease fire hazard.
2. Be sure the grill is positioned outdoors at least
24 inches from the back and side of any combustible surface.

Direct Cooking
The direct cooking method can be used with the
supplied Cooking Grids and food placed directty over
the lit grill Burners. Direct Cooking requires the Grill
Lid to be open. This method is ideal for many recipes
including deep frying, searing and whenever you want
meat, poultry or fish to have an open-flame barbecued
taste.

Smaller Fish Fillets and Cubes
Followthedirectionsfrom
above using
approximate cooking times shown at right.
Place a small piece of aluminum foil on the
Cooking Grids if the fish pieces are small
enough to drop between the Cooking Grids.

Prepare your fruit or vegetables and brush with butter
or basting sauce if desired. To cook indirectly, the
food should be placed on the left or right side of your
grill with the Burner lit on the opposite side and the
grill lid down. Or center your food on the Secondary
Cooking Rack and light the outer grill Burners. Either
way, indirect cooking must be done with the Lid
down.

Cooking times using the indirect method with the lid
down will be similar to those for your kitchen oven.
However, there are many factors such as outside
temperature, wind conditions and location of grill that
affect your grill performance so we suggest you watch
the temperature gauge and adjust the heat accordingly.

In some instances, you may want to grill vegetables
and fruit directly over the heat, using the supplied
Cooking Grids. Foods that work best with direct heat
are relatively soft and require a short cooking time:
mushrooms, zucchini, tomatoes and skewered fruit
such as apricots, peaches, pineapple, strawberries
and kiwis. Remember the Grill Lid must remain up
when cooking directly.
For very firrn vegetable_articularty
potatoes and
yams, we recommend that you partially boil until
almost cooked, before placing them on the grill.

Cooking times for foods prepared with the direct
method will be much shorter mainly because of the
direct heat source and softness of the food. Timing witl
be comparable to normal pan frying orgrilling.

An Important Note About Heat Settings

Food preparation

The suggested heat settings shown are approximate.
There are many factors such as outside ternperature,
wind conditions and grill location that affect your grill
perfon_ance. We offer these cooking times as a
convenience, but suggest you watch the tern perature
gauge and adjust the heat accordingly.

Trim meat of excess fat. Truss meat and poultry with
cooking string to retain shape if desired. Bacon strips
can be used to cover the outside surface of lean meat
and pouttryto help prevent it from drying out. Another
method for keeping food moist during roasting is to put
water in a cooking pan, then coverwith foil. The foil
should be removed for the first or the last part of the
cooking time to ensure proper browning.

Preparing to Roast
Roastingusesthe indirectcooking method. Therefore,
the food should be placed on the left or right side of your
grill with the Burner tit on the opposite side. You can
also use the supplied Cooking Grid with an aluminum
drip pan underneath allo_ng you to cotlect juices for
making gravies. Remember, indi re_ cooking requiras
the Lid of your grill to be down.

Tips for roasting
Except when roasting with water in a roasting pan, the
juices that collect in the pan can be used as the base for
a tasty sauce or gravy. Place a cooking pan directly over
the heat, add extra butter if needed, then add several
spoonfuls of flour to thicken sauce. Finally, add sufficient
chicken or beef stock to obtain the desired consistency.

Preheating your grill is not required for slow cooking
methods such as roasting. If you do choose to preheat
your grill before roasting, turn the Burners on HIGH and
close Lid for approximately 2-3 minL_es.

Once the meat is cooked remove it from your gritt and
coverwith a piece of foil. Allow it to stand for 10-15
minutes which allows the juices to settle. This will make
carving easier and ensure a tender, juicy roast.

BAKING TECHNIQUES

indirect cooking method. Therefore, yourcooking pan
should be placed on the left or right side of your grill with
the burner lit on the opposite side.

From casseroles and combraad to delicious desserts
like fondue fruit skewers or crumb cake, baking on the
grill is as easy as baking in the kitchen.

Tips for Baking

Prepadng to Bake

Prepare your favorite recipe as you would in the kitchen.
Foods cooked in the grill for long periods of time should
always be covered in atuminum foil to retain moisture.
You will need to stir the food several times as it bakes,
and add additional liquid ifrequired.

To bake in your new grill you'll need a baking dish or
cast-iron cooking pan, and a pairofftame retardant BBQ
Mitts. If the cooking pen is cast-iron be sure to season
the pan before use.

Watch the temperature, and adjust to cook according to
your recipe directions.

Preheat your grill 3-5 minL_es, then lower heat to achieve
the baking tern perature desired. Baking uses the

Slow Cooking with a Rotisserie

Note: it is our experience that many smoking chip and
pellet products do not actually produce a smoke but
instead infuses the food with flavor. Please read
product labels carefully and if in doubt, ask your
retaiter for detaits.

A Kenmore Rotisserie Kit is made to fit this particular
model. Rotisserie cooking produces foods that are
moist, flavorful and attractive. The optional rotisserie
system is most commonly used for cooking meat or
poultry and is desianed to cook food slowiv. You can
place a cooking pan beneath the food to collect juices
for basting and gravy. To flavor the contents of the
cooking pan you may add herbs, onions, or other
spices of your choice.

Using A Smoker Box
There are many optional smoker boxes available for
purchase. Follow these guidelines and always refer to
the label of your smoking chips or pellets for specific
directions.

The cooking times on a rotisserie will be approximately
the same as for oven cooking.

Raise your Grill Lid and light the grill. Lower the Grill
Lid allowing your grill to reach the desired cooking
temperature for the food you are grilling. Fill your
smoker box with your prepared smoking chips or
pellets. Dried herbs and spices may also be added to
produce different flavors. Weara flame retardant BBQ
Mitt and place your smoker box on a Cooking Grid or
Flame Tamer directlyabove a lit grill Burner. The
heated sm oki ng chips or petlets will flavor you r foods.

Balancing the Food
In rotisserie cooking balancing the food is of utmost
importance. The rotisserie must turn evenly or the
stopping and starting action will cause the food to cook
unevenly
and possibly
burn the heavier side.
The easiest foods to balance are those of uniform
shape and texture. To test if the food is balanced
correctly when secured, place the ends of the rotisserie spit loosely in the palms of your hands. If there
is no tendency to roll, give the spit a quarter turn. If it
is still stable, give it a final quarLer turn. It should rest
without turning in each of these positions. It can then
be attached to your grill.

Tips forSmoking
You can reduce the strength of the smoke flavor by
onty smoking for half or three quarters of the cooking
time. The heat required forsmoking is normally LOW
to MEDIUM.
Foods naturally high in oils lend themselves welt to
smoking, while drierfoods benefit from a marinade.
You can atso rub the food with herbs, spices or
flavored oils. Many foods can be smoked to produce
stunning resultswith very little effort. Here are a few
suggestions:

Food Preparation
When preparing poultry, truss the birds tightly so that
wings and drumsticks are close to the body of the bird.
The cavity of the bird may be stuffed prior to this. Pull the
neck skin down and, using a small skewer, fix it to the
back of the bird. Push the rotisserie spit through lengthwise, catchi ng the bird in the fork of the wishbone. Center
the bird and tighten with the holding forks. Test the
batance as described before.

• Tunasteaks, marinatedinAsianflavorsofsesame
oil, soy sauce and sherry
• Porkfillets, rubbedwithginger, orangerindand
brushed with maple syrup.
• Mussels, brushed with lemon rind and chili oil.
• Lambcutlets,
marinatedinvirginotiveoit,lemon,
oregano and black pepper. The same marinade can
be used for a whole Ieg or rack of lamb.
• Chicken, boneless chicken pieces--especially
sliced breasts.
•Fish,
sliced fitlets of firm flsh, assorted seefood
such as prawns, scallops and calamari.
• Pork, slicedfiltets, dicedormincedpork,
sliced

• Beef, sliced fillet, rib-eye, round, rump, sirtoin.
•Lamb,
sIicedfillet, round, Ioin.

A roiled piece of meat requiresthe rotisserie skewer to be
inserted through the center of the length of meat, then
secured and balanced.
For meats that contain bones, it is best to secure the
rotisserie skewer diagonally through the meaty sections.
If protruding bones orwings brown too quickly, coverwith
pieces of foil.

Preparing to Smoke
Smoking givesfood a distinctive, deliciousflavor You
wilt find a variety of wood chips or pellets available for
use in smoking grilled foods. Pro-soaking of wood
chips may be required so read and follow the manufacturers instructions for preparation of smoking chips
prior to use.

STIR-FRYING TECHNIQUES

DEEP-FRYING TECHNIQUES

This method of cooking is popular around the world and
can be easily accomplished outdoors on your Kenmore
gas grill. It's a quick and healthful way of preparing a
complete meat using meat, poultry or seafood in
infiniteoombinationswith otherinterestingingredients
like vegetables, rice or noodles.

A wide variety of foods can be deep-fried outdoors on
your grill from potatoes, to seafood and chicken.
Deep-frying uses a large portion of oil, preferably
saturated. The outdoorlocation is ideal fordeep-frying
as smoke, grease and smells disperse in the open air
instead of collecting on the ceiling of your kitchen.

Preparing to Stir-fry
Preparing to Deep-fry

Although it is possible to stir fry in other dishes a wok
is your best toot. Its high sides enable the cook to stir
food without spillage. Its construction allows you to
cook quickly at high temperatures, with instant control
of heat which is essential for successful stir frying

Deep-fry on your grill using a cooking pan or wok, over
direct heat.
Fill a cooking pan no more than half full of vegetable or
corn oil. Start with LOW heat, then raise the heat
gradually. Checkthe temperature of the oil carefully
with a frying thermometer or test with a cube of bread.
The cube of bread should brown in about 30 seconds
for most cooking needs. A tern perature between 350
and 400 degrees is optimat for preparing the majority
of deep-fried foods.

Food preparation
Slice meat and poultry into long thin strips and cube
fish fillets. Remove all fat from meat and poultry and
cut large vegetables into even slices or cubes.
Marinate foods for extra flavor and tenderness. Mad nating timeswilI vary for red meat, fish and or various
cuts. Less tender cuts of meat should be marinated
longer. Remember to always chill marinating food in
the refrigerator prior to cooking.

Food Preparation
Foods being deep-fried taste better when coated with
eitherbatter or breadcrombs to add flavorand prevent
moisture from escaping.

Stir-fry meats, poultry or fish first Next, add hard
vegetables like carrots. Then continue with softer
vegetables like snowpeas and peppers. To ensure even
cooking, continually stir and toss the food in the wok
using a wooden spoon or spatula.

Tips for Deep-frying
Wear a flame retardant BBQ Mitt and slowly lower
foods into the hot oil using a wire scoop or stainless
steel tongs. Add only a small quantity of food to the
oil, allow it to cook, then repeat with another small
quantity. This ensures the oil doesn't drop in tern peratura. Once the food is cooked, remove it carefully and
drain onto a paper towel. Turn the heat off as soon as
you have finished deep-frying and allow your pan to
cool. When the oil is cool, remove all remnants of fried
foods by straining it through a fine metai sieve, and
store it in a clean bottte for future use.

Tips forStir-frying
Place a wok on a Cooking Grid or Side Burner directly
over a HIGH heat. Add only a small amount of food at
a time to ensure fast cooking and also to allow the wok
to reheat between ingredients.

Vegetables are generally easy to cook on the grill. The
Cooking Rack makes it convenient because you can
still use the main cooking area while the vegetables
are suspended above the grids.

The Cooking Rack can be used for purposes other
than just the obvious. Consider using the rack for
warming French bread, garlic bread, croissants or
even bagels.

Pre-cook hard vegetables by briefly boiling or
microwaving them before cooking on the grill. Wrap
vegetables in a double thickness of foil to protect them
while cooking on the gritl. Then, remove the foil if
desired, 10-15 minutes before the end of cooking,
brush vegetableswith butter or oil and finish cooking.

A small whole fish wrapped in foil also cooks well on
the Cooking Rack. Parcels of seafood such as
scallops, prawns and sliced fish fillets prepared in a
sauce and portioned into small foil wraps cook well
this way, too.
