Brixton BQ-6310, Manual

Page: 24 / 48

GENERAL
All gas connections of the grill are tested for leaks in the factory prior to shipment. Nevertheless, when
mounting the device, it must be checked entirely for gas leaks, because of possible damages during
transportation or due to exposure to extreme pressure. Regularly check the device for leakage, or
check whether you can smell any gas.
BEFORE CHECKING

Make sure to remove all packing materials from the BBQ, including the straps keeping the burner in its
place.

Do not smoke while checking for leakage.

Never check for leakage with open fire.

Prepare a solution of water and soap of one part detergent and one part water. Do not use a spray
can, brush or cloth to apply the solution to the connections. Make sure the gas cylinder is full before
the first leak test.

Checking for leaks must be performed outdoors on a well-ventilated spot, away from ignition source
such as gas or electrical devices and combustible materials.

Keep the grill away from open fire and/or sparks during the test.
CHECKING

Make sure all control knobs are set to position “OFF”.

Make sure the pressure regulator is properly connected to the gas cylinder.

Completely open the gas tap of the gas cylinder by turning the knob counter-clockwise. In case
you hear a hissing sound, IMMEDIATELY turn off the gas; this indicates a serious leak in the
connection. Contact your gas supplier or fire department.

Check each connection of the gas cylinder all the way through to the taps part (the hose leading to
the burner) by spraying or brushing the soap solution on the connections.

There is a leak when soap bubbles appear. IMMEDIATELY close the gas tap of the gas cylinder
and carefully check all connections. Open the gas tap again and perform a new check.
Always close the gas tap of the gas cylinder after the leak test by turning the knob clockwise.
Only use the parts recommended by the manufacturer for this BBQ. The warranty will become void
when using other parts. Do not use the BBQ until all connections are inspected and you are certain
these show no signs of leakage.
SAFETY TIPS

Always check for leakage every time you replace the gas cylinder.

Always check all connections for leakage before each use.

Use long BBQ tools to prevent burns.

In case grease or hot objects drop from the BBQ on the gas tap, pressure regulator, hose or any
other part that contains gas, immediately shut off the gas supply.

Do not remove the drip tray before the BBQ has not sufficiently cooled down.

Close all control knobs and the gas tap of the gas cylinder when not using the BBQ.

Push the BBQ forward when moving, never pull it.

A disconnected gas cylinder being stored or moved must be equipped with a protective cover. Do
not store a gas cylinder in confined spaces such as a carport, covered patio, veranda, garage or
other structures.

Never leave a gas cylinder behind in a vehicle or boat that can get overheated by the sun.

Do not store the gas cylinder in or near a place where children play.
