LEAK TESTING
A leak test is used to determine the integrity of a seal. Before using your gas griddle, perform a leak test on the
connection between the grill manifold, regulator and the gas cylinder to reduce the risk of serious bodily harm or death
from fire or explosion.
When to perform a leak test:
•
After assembling your griddle and before lighting for the first time, even if
purchased fully assembled.
•
Every time LP gas cylinder is refilled, exchanged or if any of the gas components
are disconnected or replaced.
•
At least once per year or if your griddle has not been used for more than 60 days.
Although the gas connections on the griddle are leak tested prior to shipment,
a complete leak test must be performed at the installation site. Before each use,
check all gas connections for leaks using the procedures listed below:
1.
Create a mixture of 50% water and 50% liquid dishwashing soap.
2. Turn all control knobs to
“OFF”
.
3. Ensure that the regulator is securely connected to LP cylinder.
4. Spray a water/soap solution on all connections.
5.
Open LP cylinder valve by turning hand wheel counter-clockwise.
•
If you hear a rushing sound, turn gas off immediately. There is a leak at the connection.
CORRECT BEFORE
PROCEEDING.
•
If “growing” bubbles appear
, there is a leak. Close LP cylinder valve immediately and re-tighten connections.
If leaks cannot be stopped do not try to repair . Call for replacement parts. Order new parts by providing the
serial number, model number, name and part number of items required (see parts list) to a MEMBER’S MARK

electrical appliances.
