DANGER
To prevent fire or explosion hazard:
· Do not smoke while performing a leak
test.
· Do not permit any sources of ignition in
the area when testing for leaks.
· Perform leak tests outdoors only.
· Never perform a leak test near a fire or
flame.
How to Check the Fuel-Supply System for
Gas Leaks
1. Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent
or liquid soap and water.
2. Turn off the burner-control knobs.
3. Turn the top knob of the fuel-supply cylinder
counterclockwise one rotation to open.
4. Apply the soap solution to all connections of
fuel-supply assembly.
If no soap bubbles appear, the grill is fine for
use.
If bubbles form at the connections, there is a
leak. In case of a leak, try tightening the joint. If
necessary, replace the faulty part with a
replacement part recommended by the manu-
facturer.
5. Turn off the knob on fuel-supply cylinder.
6. Turn on the burner-control knobs for a mo-
ment to release pressure in hose, then turn the
control knobs back off.
7. Wash off soapy solution with cold water and
towel dry.
WARNING! Do not attempt to repair the
cylinder valve. If it becomes damaged, the
cylinder must be replaced.
If you are unable to stop a leak, shut off the
gas supply at the cylinder valve. Remove the
cylinder from the grill. Call a gas appliance ser-
viceman or L.P. gas dealer. Do not use appli-
ance until the leak is fixed.
Leak Testing
Leak Testing the Fuel
Supply System
Arrows denotes primary areas
to check.
24
Perform a leak test each time the gas-supply
cylinder is connected to the regulator. Leak test
any time a part of the gas system is replaced.
Perform a leak test at least once each year
whether the L.P. gas supply cylinder has been
disconnected or not.
Have a dealer check the cylinder for deteriora-
tion after 10 years, according to DOT regula-
tions. Immediately replace cylinder if any is
found.
IMPORTANT! Inspect the gas-supply hose
regularly. If there are cuts, excessive abrasion,
or wear, replace the hose prior to operating the
appliance. Use only the hose replacement spec-
ified in the parts list for your grill.
