Operating Instructions
Checking for Leaks
Burner Connections
1. Make sure the regulator valve and hose connections
are securely fastened to the burner and the tank.
If your unit was assembled for you, visually check
the connection between the burner venturi pipe and
orifice. Make sure the burner venturi pipe fits over
the orifice.
WARNING: Failure to inspect this
connection or follow these instructions
could cause a fire or an explosion
which can cause death, serious bodily
injury, or damage to property.
2. Please refer to diagram for proper installation.
(Figure 1 and 2)
3. If the burner pipe does not rest flush to the orifice,
please contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.
Tank/Gas Line Connection
1. Make 2-3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part
liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water.
2. Make sure control knobs are “OFF”. (Figure 3)
3. Turn LP gas tank “ON” at valve.
4. Spoon leak check solution at all “X” locations
(Figure 4)
a. If any bubbles appear turn LP gas tank “OFF”,
reconnect and re-test.
b. If you continue to see bubbles after several
attempts, turn LP gas tank “OFF” and disconnect
LP gas tank and contact 1.800.762.1142 for

Operating Main Burners
First Use
1. Make sure all labels, packaging and protective films
have been removed from the grill.
