LEAK TESTING:
GENERAL:
Although all gas connections on your ARTISAN™ Grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a
complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in
shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit.
Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.
BEFORE TESTING:
Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill.
Make sure the burner tie-down straps are removed from the unit.
Do not smoke while leak testing.
Never leak test with an open flame.

the rear panel from the barbecue cart to gain access - in cart mounted models).

hard piping or a flexible Ø1/2” gas hose (available from DIY/Home stores) no longer than 48”.
