PARTIAL DISASSEMBLY OF YOUR GRILL FOR
A LEAK CHECK
In order to do the leak check, you need to have access
to the gas valves, which will require some simple grill
disassembly.
Confirm that Grill Is Off
A) Turn gas supply off at source.
B) Check that ALL burner control knobs are in the off
( ) position (1). Control knobs are shipped in the off
( ) position, but you should check to be sure that they
are turned off. Check by pushing control knobs in and
turning them clockwise. If they do not turn, they are
off. If they do turn, continue turning them clockwise
until they stop; then they are off. If your grill has a side
burner, make sure the side burner control knob is
turned off.
Remove Control Panel
You will need: A Phillips screwdriver.
A) Disconnect the two wires from the igniter button
located on the underside of the control panel (2).
NOTE: Pull from terminals at ends of wires.
B) Remove control knobs (3).
C) Remove the screws from the front of the control panel
with a Phillips screwdriver (4).
D) Carefully lift control panel up and then pull forward
away from frame (5).
Your grill is now ready for a leak check. Proceed to
“CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS.”
WHAT IS A LEAK CHECK?
The fuel system in your grill
features connections and
fittings. A leak check is a
reliable way to make sure that
no gas is escaping from any of
the connections or fittings.
Although all factory-made
connections have been
thoroughly checked for
gas leaks, it’s important to
perform a leak check before
using your grill for the first
time, as well as anytime you
disconnect and reconnect
a fitting and each time you
perform routine maintenance.
