warning

If you smell gas:

• Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.
• Turn the Control Knobs to OFF position.
• Extinguish any open flame such as candle,

cigarette, lighter, etc., that could cause gas

to ignite.

• Open the Grill Lid.
• Get away from the LP gas tank.
• Do not try to fix the problem yourself.
• If odor continues or you have a fire you

cannot extinguish, call your fire
department. Do not call near the LP gas

tank because your telephone is an electri­

cal device and could create a spark
resulting in fire and/or explosion.

NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the
regulator and hose assembly can create a
humming noise. A low volume of noise is
perfectly normal and will not interfere with
operation of the grill. If humming noise is
loud and excessive you may need to purge
air from the gas line or reset the regulator
excess gas flow device. This purging proce­
dure should be done every time a new LP
gas tank is connected to your grill. For help
call the Grill Information Center.

Checking For LP Gas Leaks

Never

test for leaks with a flame. Prior to first

use, at the beginning of each season, or every

time your LP gas tank is changed, you must
check for gas leaks. Follow these four steps:

1. Make a soap solution by mixing one part

liquid detergent and one part water.

2. Turn the grill Control Knobs to the full OFF

position, then turn the gas ON at source.

3. Apply the soap solution to all gas

connections. If bubbles appear in the soap
solution the connections are not properly
sealed. Check each fitting and tighten or

repair as necessary.

4. If you have a gas leak that cannot be

repaired by tightening, turn off the gas at the

source, disconnect fuel line from your grill and
call 1-800-4-MY-HOME® or your gas supplier
for repair assistance.
