LEAK TESTING
Leak Test Procedure:
• Create a soapy solution of 1 part soap and 3 parts water.
• Confirm that all control dials are in the off position.
• Turn on the fuel supply. For natural gas, turn the valve
handle 1/4 turn to align with the gas flow.
• For L.P., turn the cylinder valve dial counter clockwise one
full rotation.
• Apply the soap solution generously by paint brush or
squirt bottle on all connections and fittings.
• If bubbles appear to “grow” on any of the connections,
you have a gas leak. IMMEDIATELY turn off the gas
supply.
Fixing a Gas Leak:
• Shut off the gas supply
• Turn all grill controls to the “ON” position to purge the
grill of any gas build-up, then turn the controls back
“OFF”.
• Wash off the soapy solution with cold water and dry.
• Tighten the loose joint, or replace the faulty part with
manufacturer-recommended replacement parts.
• DO NOT attempt to repair the L.P. cylinder valve if it is
damaged. The only way to safely resolve a damaged
cylinder is to REPLACE IT.
• Repeat the leak test to ensure that no leaks are present.
FINAL CHECK
Finally, check all the burners for proper operation. Make
sure the control knobs turn freely and completely through
their full range.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure you know where the main gas supply shut-off
valve is located.
Finally, for safety and for proper use and care, you must
have this manual. Please keep it somewhere safe for
future reference.
