LEAK TESTING
6
All factory-made connections have been thoroughly tested
for gas leaks and the burners have been flame tested.
However, shipping and handling may have loosened a gas
fitting.
AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION:
•
TEST ALL FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE USING
YOUR GAS BARBECUE.
•
TEST THE CYLINDER VALVE FOR LEAKS EACH
TIME THE CYLINDER IS FILLED.
•
TEST FOR LEAKS EVERY TIME YOU DISCONNECT
AND RECONNECT A GAS FITTING.
•
DO NOT SMOKE!
•
NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH A LIGHTED
MATCH OR OPEN FLAME.
•
TEST FOR LEAKS OUTDOORS.
TO TEST FOR LEAKS
1. Connect the flexible tube and regulator to a
full
gas
cylinder.
2. Check that all control knobs are turned to "OFF".
3. Prepare a soap solution of one part water, one part
liquid detergent.
4. Open cylinder valve all the way.
5. Brush the soap solution on each connection.
6. If your barbecue is equipped with a side burner or
rear burner:
a. Place finger tip over the side burner or rear
burner orifice.
b. Turn "SIDE"/"REAR" control to "HIGH".
c. Brush soap solution on each connection between
orifice and control valve.
d. Turn "SIDE"/"REAR" control to "OFF".
7. A leak is identified by a flow of bubbles from the area of
the leak.
8. If a leak is detected, close the gas cylinder "shut-off"
valve, tighten the connection and retest (Step 5).
9. If the leak persists, contact your barbecue dealer for
assistance. Do not attempt to operate appliance if a
leak is present.
