• Do not cover grates with aluminum foil or any other
material. This will block burner ventilation and
create a potentially dangerous condition resulting in
property damage and/or personal injury.
2. Brush soapy solution onto connection between gas
cylinder and regulator at (A). If growing bubbles
appear, there is a leak. Retighten cylinder and
repeat soapy solution.

regulator and check for damaged threads, dirt and
debris on regulator and gas cylinder. Also check to
see if anything is obstructing flow of gas at regulator
and gas cylinder openings. Remove any obstruction
that may be found and repeat leak test. IF threads
are damaged on either regulator or gas cylinder,
replace.
