GAS LEAK WARNINGS
Finding and/or fixing a gas leak is NOT a “DO-IT-YOURSELF” procedure – ONLY USE A
PROFESSIONAL.
NEVER USE THE GRILL WITHOUT FIRST LEAK TESTING THE GAS CONNECTIONS INCLUDING
ALL OF THE VALVES, FITTINGS, LINES ETC. (ANY GAS CONNECTION SHOULD BE CHECKED)
WARNING: DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. USE OF AN OPEN FLAME
COULD RESULT IN A FIRE, EXPLOSION AND BODILY HARM.
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE PERFORMING THE LEAK TEST. Any Open Flame will ignite the gas.
To prevent fire or explosion hazard, Perform leak test outdoors only.
Check to ensure that flexible hoses do not have any cuts and wear that may affect the safety before
each use. Only the factory supplied hose and regulator must be used. Use only replacement regulator
and hose assemblies specified by BLAZE OUTDOOR PRODUCTS.
Checking for Gas Leaks
Perform a leak test before each use whether the gas supply cylinder has been disconnected or not. In addition,
whenever the gas cylinder is connected to the regulator or whenever any part of the gas system is disconnected or
replaced, perform a leak test.
As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test your appliance outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never
smoke or permit sources of ignition in the area while doing a leak test. Do not use a flame, such as a lighted
match to test for leaks. Use a solution of soapy water.
