Natural Gas Owner's Manual

LEAK TESTING

All factory-made connections have been rigorously tested

for gas leaks. However, shipping and handling may have

loosened a gas fitting.

AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION:

• Test all fittings for leaks before using your gas grill.

• Test for leaks every time you disconnect and

reconnect a gas fitting, at least once per year or

after any period of nonuse.

• Do not smoke at any time while testing.

• Never test for leaks with a lit match or open flame.

• Test for leaks outdoors.

TO TEST FOR LEAKS:

1. Extinguish any open flame or cigarettes in the area.

2. Be sure that the gas supply and gas grill valves are

“OFF.”

3. Prepare a soap solution of one part water, one part

liquid detergent.
