INSTALLATION

LEAK TESTING

IMPORTANT!
GAS LEAK TESTING MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY AN QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN.
GENERAL:
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness
check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure
unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the
smell of gas is detected.
Before Testing:
Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame. Make a soap
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 LP units, check with a full cylinder. The valve panel must be removed to check the
valves and fittings. Remove the knobs and the safety valve knob, then remove the 2 screws which fasten the
valve panel to the unit (you will need a Philips screw driver for this). Pull the valve panel outward and unplug the
wires from the ignition module. In the back of the unit remove the screws which hold the service panel in place.
Remove the service panel.
To Test:
Make sure all control valves are in the "OFF" position. Turn the gas supply "ON". Check all connections from the
supply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe assembly. Apply the soap solution around the
connection, valve, tubing and end of the manifold. Avoid getting the soap solution on or in the valve switches.
Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any
leaking connections, turn gas on, and recheck. Check all the gas connections at the base of the control valves
where they screw into the manifold pipe.
To check rotisserie burner and safety valve the burner must be lit, then leak test the connections located behind
the service panel. If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your local gas utility, or the dealer
you purchased the appliance from. Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the
grill. Substitution can void the warranty.
WARNING!
Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas supply
shut-off valve. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks (Fig. 16 & 17).
