GAS LEAK TEST
When to test for gas leaks:
• After assembling your cooker and before lighting for the first time, even if purchased fully assembled.
• Every time the LP gas cylinder is refilled, or if any of the gas components are replaced.
• Any time your cooker has been moved.
• At least once per year or if your cooker has not been used for more than 60 days.
NOTE: The gas leak test must be performed in an area that has adequate lighting in order to see if bubbles are
developing. DO NOT use a flashlight to check for bubbles.
5. First, inspect areas
A - D
for growing bubbles.
6. Next, turn on (open) the Control Knob and start the Timer to
permit gas to pass through the timer and hose. Inspect areas
E - H
.
NOTE: Do not allow gas to flow more than 5 - 10 seconds. During
this step, gas will be flowing out the burner into the surrounding air.
7. Turn the LP Cylinder Valve to the off (closed) position. Then turn the
Control Knob to the off (closed) position.
8. Tighten any leaking connections.
9. Repeat soap water mixture test until no leaks are detected.
10. After you are certain there are no leaks, turn the LP Cylinder
Valve to the OFF position.
Wait 5 minutes
for any gas fumes
to evacuate before lighting the burner.
