Leak Testing Procedure
Perform a leak test at least once a year whether the
gas supply cylinder has been disconnected or not. In
addition, whenever the gas cylinder is connected to the
regulator or whenever any part of the gas system is
disconnected or replaced, perform a leak test.
As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test
your grill outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never
smoke or permit sources of ignition in the area while
doing a leak test. Do not use a flame, such as a lighted
match to test for leaks. Use a solution of soapy water.

LP Gas
Tank Requirements
For plumbed-in LP installation, use a convertible regula

tor and set it for LP gas.
Maximum line pressure for plumbed-in propane is 14”
WC (3.5 kPa). Minimum line pressure for propane is 11”
WC.
The grill unit must be used with the gas pressure regula
-
tor. The regulator will control and maintain a uniform gas
pressure in the manifold. The burner orifices have been
sized for the gas pressure delivered by the regulator.
WARNING:
Attempting to operate the grill unit without
the gas regulator installed could cause an explosion and
possible death.
