minimum of once a season, as well as:

before lighting your grill for the first time,

HOW TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST
Supplies Required:
1
x Bowl (
empty, clean)
1
x Paint Brush (
clean)
Dish Washing Liquid
Water
Procedure:
1. Position the grill in a well-ventilated area. Ensure the grill is cool to the touch,
and not in use. Verify that the regulator value is turned to the OFF position
and that the gas cylinder is tightened securely to the regulator.
IMPORTANT: Ensure there is no open flame or smokers nearby.
2. Mix a solution of one part of water with one part of dish washing liquid in
a bowl. The solution will make bubble, as it will be concentrated.
3. Use a paint brush to apply the solution onto the seal between the regulator
and the gas cylinder. Visually inspect for streams of bubbles coming from a
defect or break in the seal.
NOTE: If a leak appears, repeat gas cylinder installation procedure,
but do not over-tighten. Hand-tighten only. Repeat leak test after
re-installation to ensure seal is secure.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the gas grill if you detect a gas leak that
cannot be corrected by using the leak test procedure. Contact your
local Fire Department or Customer Service for alternative measures
of testing to ensure proper precaution.
FIRST USE – GRILL BURN-OFF
Once your grill has been leak tested (no leaks are present) and before cooking on your
grill for the first time, it is important to complete a grill burn-off. Start the grill and
operate at high heat (over 233°C / 450°F) with the lid down for 30 to 40 minutes to burn-
off the grill and rid it of any foreign matter.
