WHAT IS A LEAK CHECK?
The fuel system in your grill
features many connections
and fittings. A leak check is a
reliable way to make sure that
no gas is escaping from any of
the connections or fittings.
Although all factory-made
connections have been
thoroughly checked for
gas leaks, it's important to
perform a leak check before
using your grill for the first
time, as well as anytime you
disconnect and reconnect
a fitting and each time you
perform routine maintenance.
Safety must be considered when you are
deciding where to place and operate your
grill. Be sure to read the following warnings
before installing or using your grill.

ventilated area. Do not use in a garage,
building, breezeway or any other
