• Only a qualified gas supplier should refill the L.P. tank.
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust
cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may
result in leakage of propane.
Do not store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under or near the grill. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full.
If this information is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
PRE-OPERATION LEAK TESTING
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check
must be performed at the installation site due to possible shifting during shipment, installation or excessive
pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks and
immediately check the system if the smell of gas is detected.
1. Do not smoke while leak testing.
2. Extinguish all open flames.
3. Never leak test with an open flame.
4. Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent or liquid soap and water.
5. Turn off the burner control knobs.
6. Turn the top knob of the fuel supply cylinder counterclockwise two (2) rotations to open.
7. Apply the soap solution to connections of the fuel supply assembly. If no soap bubbles appear, there is
no gas leak. If bubbles form at the connections, a leak is detected. If a leak is detected, immediately turn off
the gas supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn gas on, and repeat steps 1-3.
8. Turn off the knob on the fuel supply cylinder.
9. Turn on the burner control knobs for a moment to release the pressure in the hose, then turn the control
knobs back off.
10. Wash off soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.
Check all gas supply fittings before each use and each time the gas supply cylinder is connected to the
regulator. Have a qualified service technician leak test the grill any time a part of the gas system is
replaced.
It is also recommended that you perform a leak test at least once a year whether or not the L.P. gas supply
cylinder has been disconnected.
When leak testing this appliance, make sure to test and tighten all loose connections. A slight leak in the
system can result in a low flame or hazardous condition. Most L.P. gas tanks now come equipped with a
leak detector mechanism internal to the tank. When gas is allowed to escape rapidly, it shuts off the gas
supply. A leak may significantly reduce the gas flow, making the grill difficult to light or causing low flames.
