DANGER
To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:
1. Always perform the leak test on this page before lighting the grill and 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 the 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 all leaks have been stopped. If you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the propane supply, call
for gas appliance service or your local propane gas supplier.
Checking for Leaks
1. Make two to three oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water.
2. Make sure control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
3. Spray some solution on the tank valve up to the regulator connection.
4. Inspect the solution at the connections for bubbles. If no bubbles appear, the connection is secure.
5. If bubbles appear, you have a leak. Go to step 6.
6. Disconnect the regulator from the tank and reconnect. Make sure the connection is secured.
7. Retest with solution.
8. If you continue to see bubbles, replace the cylinder.
