Code.

Correct LP Gas Tank Use

LP gas gdllmodelsare designedfor use witha standard20 lb. LiquidPropaneGas(LPgas)tank,

not includedin gdllbox. Neverconnectyourgas gdllto an LPgas tankthatexceedsthiscapacityA.

tankof approximately12 inchesin diameterby 18-1/2incheshighis the maximumsize LPgas

tankto use.You must use an "OPD" gas tank

which offers a listed Overfill Prevention Device.

This safety feature prevents tank from being over- filled 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/

A-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Trans- portation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable.

1.The LP gas tank has a shutoff valve, termi- nating in an LP gas supply tank valve outlet, that is compatible with a Type 1 tank con- nection 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 net locate this appliance under overhead unprotected combustible surfaces. Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation air around the gas grill 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 gdll 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 unnec- essary 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 gdll. Do not allow children to play near your grill.

i WARNING

A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of gas indicates a serious problem with your gas grill or the LP gas tank. Failure to immediately follow the steps listed below could result in a fire or explosion that could cause serious bodily injury, death, or prop- erty damage.

???Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.

???Turn the Control Knobs to OFF position.

???Put out any flame with a proper fire extin- guisher.

???Open 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 proce- dure should be done every time a new LP gas tank is connected to your gdll. For help call the Customer Service Helpline for assis- tance, 8am - 8pm CST, Monday through Friday 1-888-317-7642.

IMPORTANT: your Kenmore Natural Gas Grill can- not be converted to use LP Gas. Attempting to do so is extremely hazardous and wilt also void the grill warranty.

Figure 1 (Natural gas model only)

GAS SUPPLY

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.

It is recommended that a Shutoff Valve be installed at the gas supply source outdoors. Install at a point after the gas pipe exits the outside wall and before the quick-disconnect hose, or install it at the point before the gas line piping enters the ground.

See Fig. 1.

???Pipe sealing compound or pipe thread tape resis- tant to the action of natural gas must be used on all male pipe threads when making the connection.

Disconnect your gas grill from fuel source when the gas supply is being tested at high pressures. This gas grill and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply pipe system during any pressure testing of that system at pressure in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5kpa).

Electrode 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

3-1/4" wide stainless mechanism found at the front between each set of Burners.) The easiest way to ensure this is to perform this Electrode Check:

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

2.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.

3.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.

4.If no spark is seen the Spark Gap shown in Fig. 10 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 Electrode Check again.

5.If no "clicking" sound is heard check the following common causes. If you need assistance call our

Customer Service Helpline at 1-888-317-7642.

???Ignitor AA battery not installed properly.

Ignitor wires may be loose. Remove the AA battery, inspect the Ignitor Junction Box found

behind the Control Panel, and connect any loose wires.

Your Kenmere gas grill is now ready for use. Before the first use and at the beginning of each season (and whenever the LP gas tank has been changed):

1.Read all safety, lighting and operating instructions.

2.Check Gas Valve Orifices, Burner Tubes and Burner Ports for any obstructions.

3.Perform gas leak check according to instructions found on page 23 of this manual.

cannot extinguish, call your fire department. Do not call near the LP gas tank. 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 normal and will not interfere with operation of the grill. If humming noise is loud and exces- sive 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 Customer Service Helpline.

Checking For LP Gas Leaks

Never test for leaks with a flame. Prior to first use, at the beginning of each season, or every time your LP gas tank is changed, you must check for gas leaks. Follow these four steps:

1.Make a soap solution by mixing one part liquid detergent and one part water.

2.Turn the grill Control Knobs to the full OFF position, then turn the gas ON at source.

3.Apply the soap solution to all gas connections. If bubbles appear in the solution the connec-

tions are not properly sealed. Check each fitting and tighten or repair as necessary.

4.If you have a gas leak you cannot repair, turn off gas at the source, disconnect fuel line from your grill and call 1-800-4-MY-HOME ?? or your gas supplier for repair assistance.

Basic Lighting Procedures

Machine oils used in the manufacturing process of stainless steel can cause stainless steel to tum a tan

color. Before initial grill use, remove protective PVC film from Control Panel and inside and outside of Grill Lid.

Use a Stainless Steel Cleaner to polish the stainless steel and remove these excess oils from your grill. Never use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers because they will scratch and damage your grill. For details, see Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces on page 27.

Gas Lighting Instructions

Cleaning The Cooking Grids

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.

Cleaning The Flame Tamers

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.

Cleaning The Grease Tray and Receptacle

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.

Annual Cleaning of The Grill Interior

Burning-off the grill after every 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:

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

2.Turn the LP gas tank valve to the full OFF posi- tion.

. Disconnect the regulator from the gas tank. Inspect the hose with regulator assembly for cracking, cuts or any other damage, and replace as neccessary with Sears replacement parts. See Parts List.

4.Remove and clean the Flame Tamers, Cooking Grids, Cooking Rack and Grill Burners.

. Cover each Gas Valve Orifice with aluminum foil.

6.Brush the inside and bottom of the grill with a fiber pad or nylon brush, and wash with a mild soap

and warm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and let dry.

7.Remove aluminum foil from Orifices and check each Orifice for obstruction.

8.Check each Spark Electrode, adjusting as needed.

The space between the Spark Electrode Tip and Spark Receiver should be approximately 3/16".

g.Replace the Burners and adjust the Gas Collector Box. The edge of the collector box should be overlapping the Burner Port.

10.Replace Flame Tamers and the Cooking Grids.

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

Cleaning Exterior Surfaces:

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.

Cleaning Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces:

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 remov- ing 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.

1.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 gas fitting and allow grill to air dry before attaching the regulator and hose to your LP gas tank.

Keep outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flam- mable vapors and liquids.

Cleaning The Burner Tubes and Burner Ports

To reduce the chance of FLASHBACK the proce- dure below should be followed at least once a month

in late summer or early fall when spiders are most active or when your gdll has not been used for a period of time.

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

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 gdll.

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

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

7.Refer to Fig. 1 and perform one of these three cleaning methods:

Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger works well) into a small hook as shown below. Run the hook through the Burner Tube and inside the Burner several times to remove any debris.

,)

Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle. Run the brush through the Burner Tube and inside the Burner several times, removing any debris.

Use an air hose to force air through each Burner Tube. The forced air should pass

debris or obstructions through the Burner and out the Ports.

Regardless of which Burner cleaning procedure you

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

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: Can I convert my Kenmore gas grill from one fuel type to another?

Answer: Your Kenmore gas grill is manufactured to exact specifications and is approved by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). For your own safety, conversion kits are not available and any attempt to convert your grill from one gas type to another will void your product warranty.

Question: Why doesn'tthe hose and regulator assem- bly supplied with my new Kenmore grill fit the older LP gas tank I'veused for years?

Answer: The U.S. Government regulates gas appli- ances 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 new grill, the tank is outdated and must be replaced.

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

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 your foods.

Stainless steel grill parts will not rust. However, weath- ering 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 steel discoloration?

Answer: To protect against the natural rusting process, the Grill Bowl and Burners have a porcelain finish. However, dropping, scraping or scratching these items will damage the porcelain finish and allow rusting. We recommend you "season" these items before and after each use. Consistent seasoning will help deter rusting and will create an easy to clean cooking surface.

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 polish 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'sManual. 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.

Question: What is the best way to protect my new Kenmore 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'sManual on a timely basis, and your new grill will give you years of enjoyment.

Question: Where can I buy replacement parts?

Answer: For the repair or replacement parts you need call 6 am - 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 will need your model number and serial number to order parts.

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

Answer: This information is listed on a silver label found

on the right side of your Grill Head under the Side Shelf.

Question: Sometimes I hear a humming sound coming from my regulator. What causes this?

Answer: The humming noise is actually the gas flowing through the regulator. A low volume of noise is perfectly normal and will not interfere with the opera- tions of the grill. If humming noise is loud and exces- sive 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 26, step 4, or call the

Customer Service Helpline at the number shown below.

Question: Why doesn't the Fuel Gauge Display show the tank level after "CHECK" button 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. Take out the tank from Tank Pull- Out Tray and follow the Calibration Procedure in page 21. After calibration, put the tank back onto Tank Pull- Out Tray and press the "CHECK" button for tank level measurement.

Another reason 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".

Z WARNING

Your grill will get very hot. Never lean over the cooking area while using your grill. Do not touch cooking surfaces, grill housing, Grill Lid or any other grill parts while the 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.

Burn-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, lower the Lid,

and operate grill on the HIGH setting for three to five minutes.

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.

Preheating

To preheat, light your grill on HIGH, lower the Lid and follow this timetable:

???For high temperature cooking, preheat grill 3 to 5 minutes.

???For low temperature cooking, preheat grill 3 minutes.

???To slow cook, preheating is not necessary.

Cooking Temperatures

High setting: Only use this setting for fast warm-up, searing steaks or chops and for burning food residue off the gdll after cooking is complete. Never use the HIGH setting for extended cooking.

Medium to Low Settings: Most recipes specify medium to low settings, including all smoking, rotis- serie cooking and for cooking lean cuts such as fish.

NOTE: Temperature settings will vary with the

temperature and the amount of wind outside your home.

Direct Cooking

The direct cooking method can be used with the supplied Cooking Grids and food placed directly over

the lit grill Burners. Direct cooking requires the Grill

Lid to be up. This method is ideal for searing and

whenever you want meat, poultry or fish to have an open-flame barbecued taste. Deep frying and smok-

ing are also best cooked in this manner because they

require direct heat.

Indirect Cooking

The indirect cooking method can also be used with the supplied Cooking Grids, optional gdddle or cooking pan. To cook indirectly, the food should be placed on the left or right side of your gdll 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.

Seasoning Cooking Grids

Before and after each cookout, apply a thin layer of cooking oil, spray or vegetable shortening to each Cooking Gdd and/or optional cast-iron accessodes. Be sure to coat the entire surface including edges and any areas with chipped porcelain. Insert the Cooking Grids into your warm gdll for 2 to 3 minutes.

Flare-Ups

The fats and juices dripping from grilled food can

cause flare-ups. Since flare-ups impart a favorably, distinctive 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.

z WARNING

Do not line the bottom of the grill housing with aluminum foil, sand or any substance that will restdct the flow of grease into the

Grease Draining Tray and Receptacle.

Failure to comply with these instructions

could result in a fire or explosion which could cause sedous bodily injury, death, or property damage.

CONGRATULATIONS

Your Kenmore gas gdll is now ready to grill. Re- member to keep the Lid up when cooking directly on

the grill. For most foods it'sbest to start grilling on high. Once the food is seared, reduce the heat to medium. Foods marinated with ingredients such as honey may burn because of the high sugar content. You should begin their cooking on medium. A favorite

on the gdll is sausages. Always cook them slowly and if they're particularly fatty, it may be best to partially boil them first.

Grilling Steak and Ribs

Turn the grill Burners on HIGH, close the Lid and preheat your grill 3 to 5 minutes. Open Lid and place the meat on the Cooking Grid directly above the lit Burners. Cook the meat on both sides until seared. Reduce the heat to MEDIUM and cook meat until done.

Grilling times will vary according to meat thickness.

Grilling Hamburgers and Sausages

Turn the grill Burners on HIGH, close Lid and

preheat your grill 3 to 5 minutes. Open Lid and place the meat on the Cooking Grid

directly above the lit Burners. Cook the meat on both sides until seared. Reduce the heat

to MEDIUM and cook the meat until done.

Grilling times will vary according to meat thickness.

Grilling Poultry

Turn the grill Burners on HIGH, close Lid and

preheat your grill 2 to 3 minutes. Then raise the Lid, reduce heat to MEDIUM and cook poultry directly over lit Burners until done. Poultry skin is fatty so you should expect some flare-ups when using this direct method.

To minimize flare-ups, try grilling poultry using the indirect method. Place the poultry on one side of the grill with the opposing Burners on MEDIUM heat, and lower the grill Lid. Grilling times will vary based on the size of your poultry.

Grilling Pork

Turn Burners on HIGH and preheat your grill 3 to 5 minutes with the Lid closed. Raise Lid, place pork on Cooking Grid and cook until seared. Reduce heat to MEDIUM and cook

until done. Grilling times will vary according to meat thickness.

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 clown 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 grill thermometer 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 firm vegetables_articularly 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 wilt be comparable to normal pan frying or grilling.

An Important Note About Heat Settings

The suggested heat settings shown are approximate. There are many factors such as outside temperature, wind conditions and grill location that affect your grill performance. We offer these cooking times as a convenience, but suggest you watch the grill ther- mometer and adjust the heat accordingly.

Preparing to Roast

Roasting uses the indirect cooking method. There- fore, the food should be placed on the left or right side of your grill with the Burner lit on the opposite side. You can also use the supplied Cooking Grid with an aluminum drip pan underneath allowing you to collect juices for making gravies. Remember, indirectcooking requires the Lid of your grill to be down.

Preheating your gdll 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 minutes.

Food preparation

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 poultryto help prevent it from drying out. Another method for keeping food moist during roasting is to put water in a cooking pan, then cover with foil. The foil should be removed for the first or the last part of the cooking time to ensure proper browning.

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.

Once the meat is cooked, remove it from your grill and cover with 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

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

Preparing to Bake

To bake in your new grill you'llneed a baking dish or cast-iron cooking pan, and a pair of insulated cooking mitts. If the cooking pan is cast-iron be sure to season the pan before use.

Preheat your gdll 3-5 minutes, then lower heat to achieve the baking temperature desired. Baking uses

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

Tips for Baking

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 aluminum foil to retain moisture. You will need to stir the food several times as it bakes,

and add additional liquid if required.

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

STIR-FRYING TECHNIQUES

This method of cooking is popular around the world

and can be easily accomplished outdoors on your Kenmore gas grill. It'sa quick and healthful way of

preparing a complete meal using meat, poultry or seafood in infinite combinations with other interesting

ingredients like vegetables, rice or noodles.

Preparing to Stir-fry

Although it is possible to stir fry in other dishes, a wok

is your best tool. 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.

Food preparation

Slice meat and poultry into long thin stdps 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.

Marinating times will vary for red meat, fish and or various cuts. Less tender cuts of meat should be

marinated longer. Remember to always chill marinat- ing food in the refrigerator prior to cooking.

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 Stir-frying

Place a wok directtyover a HIGH heat on your grill or side

burner. 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 Racks makes it convenient because you can still use the main cooking area while the veg- etables are suspended above the grids.

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 grill. Then, remove the foil if desired, 10-15 minutes before the end of cooking, brush vegetables with butter or oil and finish cooking.

DEEP-FRYING TECHNIQUES

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 outdoor location is ideal for deep- frying as smoke, grease and smells reach for the sky_ot the ceiling of your kitchen.

Preparing to Deep-fry

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. Check the 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 temperature between 350 and 400 degrees is optimal for prepar- ing the majority of deep-fried foods.

Food Preparation

Foods being deep-fried taste better when coated with either batter or breadcrumbs to add flavor and

prevent moisture from escaping.

Tips for Deep-frying

Wear an insulated cooking glove 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'tdrop in tempera- ture. 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 metal sieve, and store it in a clean bottle for future use.

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

A small whole fish wrapped in foil also cooks well on the Cooking Racks. 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.
