• Never use your grill without leak testing all gas connections and hoses. See the section on "Leak Testing" in this manual
for proper procedures.
• Visually inspect the hose assembly prior to each use for evidence of damage, excess wear or deterioration. If found,
replace the assembly before using your grill. Only the manufacturer's supplied replacement should be used.
• During assembly or conversion to natural gas, keep the supply hoses free of kinks and/or damage.
AVOID HARD METAL PIPING
• DO NOT use hard metal piping of any kind to connect this converted natural gas grill. Use only natural gas hose specified
by the manufacturer. Using hard metal piping or convoluted metal tubing is an unsafe practice. Movement of the grill can
cause breakage of metal pipe.
LEAK TESTING
To prevent fire or explosion hazard:
• DO NOT smoke or permit ignition sources in the area while conducting a leak test.
• Perform test OUTDOORS in a well ventilated area that is protected from the wind.
• Never perform a leak test with a match or open flame.
• Never perform a leak test while the grill is in use or while grill is still hot.
WHEN TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST:
• After assembling your grill and before lighting for the first time, even if purchased fully assembled.
• Every time the LP gas cylinder is refilled, exchanged or if any of the gas components are disconnected or replaced.
• Any time your grill has been moved.
• At least once per year or if your grill has not been used for more than 60 days.
CHECKING FOR LEAKS:
1. Create a mixture of 50% water and 50% liquid dishwashing soap.
2. Open the lid.
3. Ensure all control knobs are set to the "OFF" position.
4. Ensure gas hose is tightly connected to gas source.
5. Turn on the fuel supply at the source.
6. Apply the soap water mixture to the following:
Hose connection to gas manifold.
Brass connections and quick disconnect assembly.
The full length of gas supply hose.
Quick disconnect coupler.
7. Check each place listed (A–D) for growing bubbles which indicates a leak.
8. Turn off gas supply at source.
9. Turn on control knobs to release gas pressure in hose.
10. Turn control knobs to "OFF" position.
11. Tighten any leaking connections.
12. Repeat soapy water test until no leaks are detected.
13. Turn off gas supply at source until you are ready to use your grill.
14. Wash off soapy residue with cold water and towel dry.
15. Wait 5 minutes to allow all gas to evacuate the area before lighting grill.
CAUTION: DO NOT use the grill if leaks cannot be stopped.
Note: The leak test must be performed in an area that has adequate lighting
in order to see if bubbles are developing.
