Jenn-Air 720-0063-LP - Manual (Page 13)

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 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 that all packing material is removed from
the grill including the burner tie-down straps.
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. You will need a spray bottle,
brush, or rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For
the initial leak test, make sure the L.P. cylinder is
full.
TO TEST
Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF”
position. Turn the gas supply on. Check all
connections from the L.P. cylinder up to and
including the connection to the manifold pipe
assembly (the pipe that goes to the burners). Soap
bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a
leak is present, immediately turn off the gas supply,
tighten any leaking fittings, turn gas on, and
recheck. Should the gas continue to leak from any
or all of the fittings, turn off the gas supply, and
contact our customer service at 1-800-554-5799.
Only those parts recommended by the
manufacturer should be used on the grill.
Substitution will void the warranty. Do not use the
grill until all connections have been checked and do
not leak.
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
LEAK TESTING
the burners. The flames of the burners should be
visually checked.

Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow
tips, excessive noise or lifting. If any of these
conditions exist, check to see if the air shutter or
burner ports are blocked by dirt, debris, spider
webs, etc. If you have any questions regarding
flame stability, please call customer service at
1-800-554-5799.
ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY
LP TANK CHANGE
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before
each use. 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 L.P. cylinders must have
threaded valve plugs tightly installed, and must
not be stored in a building, garage or any other
enclosed area.
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.
