Leak Testing
General:
Although all gas connections on the 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 if the smell of gas is detected.
Before Testing:
Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame. Make a
soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush or rag to
apply the solution to the fittings. For LP units, check with a full cylinder. Remove the control knob to disable
accidental ignition. Open the tank storage door containing the LP or natural gas hook up, this is where all
tests will be performed.
To Test:
Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position. Turn the gas supply “ON”. Check all connections from
the supply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe assembly. Apply the soap solution
around the connection, valve, tubing and end of the manifold. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is
present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking connections, turn gas on,
and recheck. Check all the gas connections at the base of the control valves where they screw into the
manifold pipe. If you cannot stop a gas leak, turn off the gas supply and call your local gas utility or Fuego
customer service at 888-88FUEGO (38346). Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be
used on the grill. Substitution can void the warranty.
WARNING:
Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak. Check all gas supply fittings
for abrasions, cracks and leaks before each use. It is recommended to keep a spray bottle filled with soapy
water near the shutoff valve of the gas supply valve. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks.
