Installation Guide

This hardware pack is intended for use in the assembly or repair of compatible Kenmore gas grills. Always refer to your specific gas grill's assembly manual for detailed installation instructions regarding the placement and torque specifications for each type of fastener.

1. Identify Correct Fasteners: Match the screws and washers from this pack to the corresponding parts specified in your grill's manual. Pay close attention to screw dimensions (e.g., M4x10, M6x12) and washer types (flat, compression).
2. Prepare Components: Ensure all components of your grill are clean and free of debris before assembly.
3. Secure Fasteners: Insert the appropriate screws through the designated holes and secure them with the correct washers and nuts (if applicable). Tighten fasteners firmly but avoid over-tightening, which can strip threads or damage components.

Important: Always use appropriate tools and follow safety guidelines when working with gas grill components. If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified technician.
