Perform a “Leak Test”
•
Before lighting your barbecue for the first time.
•
Every time the cylinder is refilled, or any component is replaced.
•
At least once every year, preferably at the start of the season.
The “Leak Test” must be done outdoors, away from heat, open flames and flammable liquids.
Do not
smoke while performing the test. Use only a mixture of 50 / 50 liquid soap and water
for leak testing. Never use a match or open flame.
The Following Must Be Checked
•
The tank valve including the threads into the tank (Drawing C).
•
All tank welds (Drawing B).
•
Regulator fittings and tank connections (Drawing C).
•
All hose connections (Drawing D).
•
With a newly filled and tested propane tank attached to the
barbecue and all the barbecue controls turned “OFF”, slowly open
the cylinder valve one full turn.
•
Using a brush and soap, soak all the connections and components
listed above and shown in drawings B, C, D.
•
Look carefully for bubbles forming, which is an indication of leaking gas.
•
Tighten the connections at the bubbled areas until re-testing shows no
indication of any leaks (shut off cylinder while correcting any leaks).
•
Shut off the cylinder valve and ensure all control valves are off.
•
Do not
use the barbecue if any leaks cannot be stopped. Turn off the
gas cylinder valve, remove the gas cylinder and seek assistance from
a qualified gas appliance service mechanic or gas dealer.

If the heat output is too low, the flow control feature may have been
activated by a gas leak. If so, turn off the burner valve and cylinder valve,
and perform the “Leak Test”. If there aren’t any leaks, re-light the burner.
To Reset The Gas Regulator Safety Device
1. Close the LP (propane) tank valve.
2. Turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position.
3. Disconnect the regulator from the LP tank.
4. Open the grill lid.
5. Open all of the control knobs to the high position.
6. Wait 2 minutes.
7. Close all of the control knobs.
8. Re-connect the regulator to the LP tank. Test for leaks.
9. With lid open, push in and turn the centre control knob to the HIGH position.
Wait 5 seconds and then ignite the grill by pressing the Electronic Ignitor.
10. Once lit, close the grill lid.
11. Wait for 10 to 15 minutes for the Barbecue to preheat.
ATTENTION: Proper start up and shut down procedures should be followed to
avoid regulator safety device activation.
