CHECKING FOR LEAKS
DANGER
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Always perform leak tests outdoors
ONLY in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT smoke during leak test.
DO NOT use an open flame to check for gas
leaks
Never perform a leak test while the grill is in
use or while grill is still hot.
Perform Leak Test
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas
tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible shifts during shipment,
installation or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the
whole system for leaks and immediately check the system if the smell of gas is detected.
1. Create a mixture of 50% water and 50%
liquid dishwashing soap.
2. Ensure all control knobs are set to the
"OFF" position.
3. Turn ON LP gas tank at valve.
4. Brush soapy solution at all "X" locations
(see Fig.5).
5. Check each place for growing bubbles If
"growing" bubbles appear, turn the Tank
Valve off and DO NOT use your grill until
the leak is repaired.
A slight leak could cause a fire.
If no bubbles appear after one minute, turn tank OFF, wash off soapy solution with cold water
and towel dry.
When leak testing this appliance, make sure to test and tighten all loose connections. A slight
leak in the system can result in a low flame or hazardous condition. Most L.P. gas tanks now
come equipped with a leak detector mechanism internal to the tank. When gas is allowed to
escape rapidly, it shuts off the gas supply. A leak may significantly reduce the gas flow,
making the grill difficult to light or causing low flames.
WHEN TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST:
Every time prior to lighting the grill,
even if purchased fully assembled.
Repeat Every time the LP gas cylinder is
refilled or exchanged
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.
