Connect a suitable natural gas flex connector to the grill regulator.
Check the grill controls to ensure all control valves are in the full OFF position.
Turn on the main gas supply and check all connections for leaks using soapy water as
Described in the leak testing procedure section.
Warning: If you see bubbles in the soapy solution at any of the connections, turn off the
gas supply and tighten the connection. If tightening the connection does not seal the
leak, it may be necessary to replace the flex hose.
Checking for Gas Leaks
Perform a leak test at least once a year whether the gas supply cylinder has been disconnected
or not. In addition, whenever the gas cylinder is connected to the regulator or whenever any part
of the gas system is disconnected or replaced, perform a leak test.
As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test your grill outdoors in a well ventilated area.
Never smoke or permit sources of ignition in the area while doing a leak test. Do not use a flame,
such as a lighted match to test for leaks. Use a solution of soapy water.
Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by mixing in a spray bottle one part liquid soap to
one part water.
Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF position
.
