Perform Leak Test
Although all gas connections on the griddle are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check
must be performed at the installation site due to possible shifts during shipment, installation or excessive
pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks and immediately
check the system if the smell of gas is detected.
1. Create a mixture of 50% water and 50% liquid dishwashing soap.
2. Ensure all control knobs are set to the "OFF" position.
3. Turn ON LP gas tank at valve.
4. Brush soapy solution at all ”X” locations (see Fig.3).
5. Check each place for growing bubbles
If “growing” bubbles appear, turn the Tank Valve off and
DO NOT use your griddle until the leak is repaired.
A slight leak could cause a fire.
If no bubbles appear after one minute, turn tank OFF, wash off
soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.
DANGER
WARNING
WHEN TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST:
Ù
Every time prior to lighting the griddle,
even if purchased fully assembled.
Ù
Repeat every time the LP gas cylinder is refilled
or exchanged
Ù
Any time your griddle has been moved.
Ù
At least once per year or if your griddle has not
been used for more than 60 days.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Ù
Always perform leak tests outdoors
ONLY in a well-ventilated area.
Ù
DO NOT smoke during leak test.
Ù
DO NOT use an open flame to check
for gas leaks
Ù
Never perform a leak test while the
griddle is in use or while griddle is still
hot.
When leak testing this appliance, make sure to test and tighten all loose connections. A slight leak
in the system can result in a low flame or hazardous condition. Most L.P. gas tanks now come
equipped with a leak detector mechanism internal to the tank. When gas is allowed to escape
rapidly, it shuts off the gas supply. A leak may significantly reduce the gas flow, making the griddle
difficult to light or causing low flames.
