Pre Operation Leak Testing

GENERAL INFORMATION

Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness

check must be performed at the installation site due to possible shifting during shipment, installation

or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for

leaks and immediately check the system if the smell of gas is detected.

BEFORE TESTING

1. Do not smoke while leak testing.

2. Extinguish all open ames.

3. Never leak test with an open ame.

4. Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent or liquid soap and water.

TESTING

1. Turn off the burner control knobs.

2. Turn the top knob of the fuel supply cylinder counter-clockwise (right to left) two (2) rotations to

open.

3. Apply the soap solution to connections of the fuel supply assembly. If no soap bubbles appear,

there is no gas leak. If bubbles form at the connections, a leak is detected. If a leak is detected,

immediately turn off the gas supply, tighten any leaking ttings, turn gas on, and repeat steps 1-3.

4. Turn off the knob on the fuel supply cylinder.

5. Turn on the burner control knobs for a moment to release the pressure in the hose, then turn the

control knobs back off.

6. Wash off soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.

Check all gas supply ttings before each use and each time the gas supply cylinder is connected to

the regulator. Have a qualied service technician leak test the grill any time a part of the gas system

is replaced.

Also it is recommended to perform a leak test at least once a year whether or not the L.P. gas supply

cylinder has been disconnected.

When leak testing this appliance, make sure to test and tighten all loose connections,

including the side burners. A slight leak in the system can result in a low ame, or hazardous

condition. Most L.P. gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism internal

to the tank, when gas is allowed to escape rapidly, it shuts off the gas supply. A leak may

signicantly reduce the gas ow making the grill difcult to light or causing low ames.

If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your local gas company or

the dealer you purchased the appliance from. If necessary, replace the faulty part with the

manufacturer’s recommended replacement part. A slight leak could cause a re.
