Checking for Gas Leaks
Disconnecting A Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) Cylinder From Your Outdoor Cooking Centre.
1. Turn the Burner Valves and LPG Cylinder Valve to the full OFF position. (Turn clockwise to close.)
2. Detach the Regulator and Hose Assembly from the LPG Cylinder Valve by turning the fitting counterclockwise.
WARNING: For storage and cylinder exchange, disconnect hose at the LPG cylinder. Do not disconnect hose
from the appliance.
Your Outdoor Cooking Centre has been checked at all factory connections for leaks. Recheck all connections, as
movement in shipping can loosen connections. Check for leaks even if your unit was assembled for you at the store.
Never test for leaks with a flame. Prior to first use, and at the beginning of each season, or every time your LPG
cylinder is changed, you must check for gas leaks, follow these four steps:
1. Make a soap solution by mixing one part liquid detergent and one part water.
2. Turn the Control Knobs to the full OFF position, then turn the gas ON at source.
3. Apply the soap solution to all gas connections. If bubbles appear in the soap solution the connections are
not properly sealed, check each fitting and tighten or repair as necessary.
4. If you have a gas leak that you cannot repair, turn off the gas at the source, disconnect fuel line from your
Outdoor Cooking Centre and call the manufacturer or your gas supplier for repair assistance.
WARNING
A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of gas indicates a serious problem with your Outdoor Cooking Centre
or the LPG cylinder. Failure to immediately follow the steps listed below could result in a fire or explosion that
could cause serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.
1. Shut off gas supply to your Outdoor Cooking Centre.
2. Turn the Control Knobs to OFF position.
3. Put out any flame with a Class B fire extinguisher.
4. Open hood.
5. Do not try to fix the problem yourself.
6. If odour continues or you have a fire you cannot extinguish, call your fire department.
Do not operate a telephone near the LPG cylinder because your telephone is an electrical device and could
create a spark resulting in fire and/or explosion.
NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the Regulator and Hose Assembly can create a humming sound. A low
volume of sound is perfectly normal and will not interfere with operation of the Outdoor Cooking Centre. If
humming sound is loud and excessive you may need to purge the gas line. This purging procedure should be
done every time a new LPG cylinder is connected to your Outdoor Cooking Centre. For help call the De'Longhi
Customer Service.
To talk to a De'Longhi representative for further information, please call the number in your region.

3. Inspect the Valve connection port and Regulator Assembly. Look for
damage or debris. Remove any debris. Inspect Hose for damage.
Never use damaged or plugged equipment.
4. When connecting the Regulator and Hose Assembly to the Cylinder
Valve, hand tighten anti-clockwise to a full stop. Do Not use a
wrench to tighten because it could damage the fitting and result in
a hazardous condition.
5. Open the Cylinder Valve fully (counterclockwise). Use a soapy water
solution to check all connections for leaks before attempting to light
your Outdoor Cooking Centre. See section “Checking for LPG
Leaks” below. If a leak is found, turn the Cylinder Valve off and do
not use your Outdoor Cooking Centre until the leak is repaired.
