Note:  Before starting the grill, check for leaks.  Make sure the regulator 
valve is securely fastened to the burner and the cylinder. 
To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak: 

1.  Always perform the “leak test” as described below

 

before lighting the grill or 

     each time the cylinder is connected for use. 

2.  Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a 
leak test

.

 

3.  Conduct leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area. 

4.  Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks. 

5.  Do not use grill until any and all leaks are corrected.  If you are unable to stop a 
leak, 

disconnect the propane supply.  Call a gas appliance serviceman or your local pro-
pane gas supplier. 

 

 

To Perform a Leak Test: 

Make a 2-3 oz (0-90ml.) of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing 
soap with three parts water in a spray bottle. 

Note:  Make sure control knobs are off. 

Spray solution on the tank valve to regulator connection, the “Y” joint in the hose, 
the connection to the manifold behind the main control panel, and the connection 

Stand in front of the grill to 
operate the controls.
