DANGER
1. Do not insert any tool into the valve outlet or safety relief valve. You may damage the valve and
cause a leak. Leaking propane may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.
2. If a leak is detected at any time or you cannot stop a gas leak, immediately close pipeline valve and
call LP gas supplier or you fire department!
3. Check all gas supply fittings before each use and each time the gas supply cylinder is connected to
the regulator. Have a qualified service technician leak test the grill any time a part of the gas system
is replaced.
WARNING
Never attempt to attach this grill to the self-contained LP gas system. Do not use grill until leak testing
has been performed.
Before Testing
DO NOT smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame. Mix a
solution of equal parts mild detergent or liquid soap and water.
Leak Testing Valves, Hose and Regulator
1. Turn all grill control knobs to OFF.
2. Be sure the hose is tightly connected to LP tank.
3. Completely open LP tank valve by turning cylinder
valve knob counterclockwise (right to left). If you hear
a rushing sound, turn gas off immediately. There is a
major leak at the connection. Correct before
proceeding by calling franchiser for replacement
4. Brush soapy solution onto areas where bubbles
are shown in LP tank (see picture).
5. If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close
LP tank valve immediately and retighten connections.
If leaks cannot be stopped do not try to repair. Call
franchiser for replacement.
6. Always close LP tank valve after performing leak test by turning cylinder valve knob clockwise.
NOTE:
When leak testing this appliance, make sure to test and tighten all loose connections, including
the side burner. A slight leak in the system can result in a low flame, or a hazardous condition. Most LP
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 grill
difficult to light or causing low flames.
