2.
Ensure that the barbecue control knobs and LPG is turned off. Open the LPG
cylinder valve and apply the soap solution to the gas connections using a soft
bristle brush as seen below.
Soap bubbles will appear if there is a gas leak. In case of a leak, turn off the gas
supply. Tighten any leaking fittings, then turn the gas supply on and re-check.
Warning:
Do not operate the appliance until all gas leaks have been rectified.
Never complete a gas leak test while smoking.
Note:
If there is a leak anywhere on the gas cylinder, do not use the cylinder.
Locate the leaking cylinder outdoors away from sources of ignition, then contact
your local gas authority or cylinder exchange provider to arrange disposal.
