Important:  Test for leaks every time the gas is reconnected.

 

Warning:  Do not smoke while performing a leak test or allow any potential source of ignition 
in the area.  Never conduct a leak test using fire.

 

Procedure:

 

1.

 

Confirm that all burner control knobs are in the 

OFF

” 

position.

 

2.

 

Slowly open the LP Cylinder Valve or gas shut

-

off valve (for permanent installations).

 

3.

 

Generously apply a soapy water solution to all connections and fittings.  If bubbles can 
be seen around a connection, you have a gas leak. Immediately close the cylinder valve 
or shut

-

off valve. Call a qualified technician to repair the leak.

 

4.

 

For grills fueled by a 20 lb. LP cylinder, if the gas leak is located at the cylinder valve out-
let, check to see that the regulator/cylinder valve connections are hand tight, then repeat 
the leak test.  If bubbles continue to appear around the connection, the valve of the cylin-
der may be defective. Replace the cylinder and repeat the leak test. If bubbles appear, 
call a qualified technician. 

 

Important: Use only TEC specified replacement parts.  

 

 

WARNING:  Do not light 

your grill or attempt to 

use it if you smell gas.  Check to see that all of the burner control knobs are in the 

OFF

” 

po-

sition and turn off the gas at its supply source, then call a qualified technician to check for 
gas leaks.

 

IMPORTANT:  NEVER OPERATE YOUR GRILL WITHOUT THE RADIANT GLASS PAN-
ELS PROPERLY INSTALLED.

 

Electronic Ignition

:

 

1.

 

Open the hood of your grill.

 

2.

 

Confirm that all of the burner control knobs are in the 

OFF

” 

position.

 

3.

 

Press the igniter button for the burner you wish to light. 
You should hear a clicking sound. If you do not, the bat-
tery probably needs to be replaced with a new one.

 

4.

 

While pressing the igniter button, depress and turn (to the 
left) the control knob of the burner (that you wish to light) to its high position.

 

5.

 

Check to see that the burner has been lit, and then release the igniter button. You can 
view the burner flame through the round viewpoint opening located adjacent to the ignit-
er button and can generally hear the burner ignite and then feel warm air rising from 
around the cooking surface.  You can also see the flame through the glass plate.  Imme-
diately after ignition, the flame will be luminous enough to view.

 

6.

 

If the burner does not ignite in 5 seconds, turn the control knob to 

OFF

” 

and wait 5 

minutes before you attempt to light the grill again.
