LEAK TESTING
GENERAL
Although gas connections on the appliance are leak-tested prior to shipment, a complete leak test must be
performed at the installation site. Before each use, check all gas connections for leaks using the
procedures listed below.
If the smell of gas is detected at any time, you should immediately check the entire system for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure all packing materials have been removed from the grill, including any burner tie-down straps.
WARNING
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. Do not use the appliance until all connections have
been checked and do not leak. Do not smoke while leak-testing. Never leak-test with an open flame.
Make a solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or rag to
apply the solution to the fittings. For the initial leak test, make sure the liquid propane cylinder is full.
TO TEST
1. Turn the burner valve off.
2. Apply the soap solution to all gas fittings. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
3. If a leak is present, immediately turn the gas supply "OFF" and tighten leaky fittings.
4. Turn the gas back "ON" and recheck.
5. Should the gas continue to leak from any of the fittings, turn the gas supply "OFF" and contact our
Customer Service Department at U.S.A:1-800-913-8999, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., PST, Monday-Friday.
6. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, it must be replaced prior to the outdoor cooking gas
appliance being put into operation.
7. Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill. Substitutions will void
the warranty.
WARNING
Do not store appliance indoors unless the cylinder is disconnected. Do not store cylinder in a building,
garage, or any other enclosed area, and keep out of reach of children at all times.
HOSE ASSEMBLY AND REGULATOR CHECK
Cleaning and inspection of pressure regulator and hose assembly prior to use. If there is evidence of
abrasion, wear, cuts or leaks, the hose assembly must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into
operation. The replacement hose assembly shall be that specified by the manufacturer.
USING YOUR THEROMOETER
The thermometer must be checked before each use. To do this, insert the thermometer into a pot of
boiling water and ensure that it registers approximately 212 ± 20 ºF (100 ± 10 ºC). If it does not function
properly, obtain a replacement thermometer specified by the manufacturer before using the appliance.
The thermometer should be positioned so that at least 2.75" of the thermometer tip is always submerged in
oil; repositioning as needed during use. The thermometer must be used until the burner is turned off.
