or tape in the event of a flared connection or by replacing the faulty part with a replacement part recommended
by the manufacturer. Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it is damaged. The cylinder must be discarded
to a proper LP tank location and then replaced.
If you are unable to stop a leak turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position, shut off the gas supply to
•
the appliance and release pressure in the hose and manifold by pushing in and turning any of the control
valves one quarter turn counter-clockwise.
On LP systems, remove the cylinder from the appliance.
•
Call an authorized gas appliance service technician or an LP gas dealer.
•
Do not use the appliance until the leak is corrected.
•
The below diagram is intended to show what a leaking connection would look like. These two locations are not
•
the only points to check nor the only potential areas for a gas leak to be present.
Leak Testing
All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks after installation or service along with before each use. This includes
•
all valves, pipe connections, joints, lines and every point from the gas source to the burners.
All leaks must be corrected immediately. Remember-before exchanging an empty bottle for a new one; make sure all
control valves are in the "off" position. This can create a low flow of gas through the grill. This would require the tank to be
disconnected from the regulator, and then reconnected to reset the regulator.
Open the valve (shut-off or 'ON' LP tank). Test for leaks by applying liquid soap solution to all joints. Bubbles forming indicate
gas leak.
