• During leak test, keep barbecue away from open flames or sparks and
do not smoke. Barbecue must be leak tested outdoors in a well venti-
lated area.
• Leak test must be repeated each time gas cylinder is replaced or after
storage.
Materials needed include clean paint brush and 50/50 soap and water solu-
tion. Use mild soap and water. Do not use household cleaning agents. Dam-
age to components can result.
P R O C E D U R E
1. Be sure control knobs on barbecue to the "OFF" position.
2. Brush soapy solution onto hose connection.
3. See next page for leak check your gas tank connection.
If growing bubbles appear, there is a leak. Retighten connections and repeat
steps 1 and 2.
If you cannot stop a leak, remove gas cylinder from regulator
and check for damaged threads, dirt and debris on regulator
and gas cylinder. Also check to see if anything is obstructing
flow of gas at regulator and gas cylinder openings. Remove any
obstruction that may be found and repeat leak test. If threads
are damaged on either regulator or gas cylinder, replace.

SPIDER ALERT!
If you notice that your barbecue is getting hard to light or
that the flame isn't as strong as it should be, take the time to
check and clean the burner.
In some areas, spiders or small insects have been known to create "flash-
back" problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs in the bar-
becue's burner tube obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. The backed-
up gas can ignite in the burner tube. This is known as a flashback and it can
damage your barbecue and even cause injury.
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and burner
tube should be removed from the barbecue and cleaned before use whenev-
er the barbecue has been idle for an extended period.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Smell gas.
2. Burner will not light.
3. A small yellow flame from burner (should be blue).
4. Fire coming from around or behind control knob.
STOP!
IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF GAS AT CONTROL KNOBS!
1. Wait for barbecue to cool.
2. Use a 0,3m pipe cleaner to clean out the burner tube.
