LEAK TESTING
GENERAL
Although gas connections on the grill are leak
tested prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness
check must be performed at the installation site.
Periodically check the whole system for leaks
following the procedures listed below.
If the smell of gas is detected at anytime, you
should immediately check the entire system for
leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure all packing materials have been
removed from the grill, including the burner tie-
down straps.
WARNING
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each
use
. Do not use the grill until all connections have
been checked and do not leak.
Do not smoke while leak testing.
Never leak test with an open flame.
Make a 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 the
initial leak test, make sure the liquid propane
cylinder is full.
Only those parts recommended by the
manufacturer should be used on the grill.
Substitutions will void the warranty.
GAS FLOW CHECK
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the
factory prior to shipment. However, variations in the
local gas supply may make it necessary to adjust
the burners.
Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow
tips, excessive noise or lifting.
If any of these conditions exist, first check to see if
the burner is blocked by dirt, debris, spider webs,
etc.
Always check for leaks after every liquid propane
cylinder change.
It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy water
near the shut-off valve of the gas supply line. Spray
all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks.
Disconnected liquid propane cylinders must have
threaded valve plugs tightly installed, and must not
be stored in a building, garage or any other
enclosed area.
WARNING
The gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder
when the unit is not in use.
If the appliance is stored indoors, the cylinder must
be disconnected and removed from the appliance.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-
ventilated area out of the reach of children.
