Gas Conversion Kit Guide

TO TEST

• Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position.

• Apply the soap solution described above to all fittings.

• Turn the gas supply on.

• Check all connections from the supply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe

assembly.

• Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply,

tighten any leaking fittings, turn the gas supply back on, and recheck.

• If you cannot stop a gas leak, turn off the gas supply and call the dealer where you purchased your

grill.

• Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.

IMPORTANT NOTE - ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY LP CYLINDER CHANGE.

BURNER / VALVE ADJUSTMENTS

Consult the GAS CONNECTIONS section of your Hestan outdoor appliance for full instructions on

burner adjustments, flame appearance, air shutter adjustment, and valve adjustments. This step is very

important to ensure successful burner performance after conversion to the new fuel type, or changing

orifices for high altitude locations.

TESTING & ADJUSTMENT

LEAK TESTING

GENERAL

A complete gas tightness check must be performed of all gas-carrying components due to possible

movement during installation, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to parts of the unit.

BEFORE TESTING

• Do not smoke while leak testing.

• Never leak test with an open flame.

• Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water for leak testing purposes.

• Apply the solution to the gas fittings by using a spray bottle or a brush.

• For LP units, always check with a full LP cylinder.

LABEL

After conversion, the label below must be attached to the grill next to the existing rating label located in

the drip pan. The qualified service technician will fill in the Gas Type, Manifold Pressure, and BTU Rates

for each burner type (per the chart on previous page). The technician should sign and date the label.
