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 you cannot
repair, turn off the gas at the source, discon­
nect fuel line from your grill and call
1-800-4-MY-HOME or your gas supplier for
repair assistance.
