LEAK TESTING

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 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 1-866-984-7455 .

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.

ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER
EVERY L.P. TANK CHANGE

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 PERFORM 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

1. Make sure the control valves are in the

“OFF” position, and turn on the gas supply.

2. Check all connections from the LP gas

regulator and supply valve 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.

3. If a leak is present, immediately turn off the

gas supply and tighten the leaky fittings.

4. Turn the gas back on and recheck.

5. Should the gas continue to leak from any of

the fittings, turn off the gas supply and contact

customer service at 1-866-984-7455.
