Only those parts recommended by the
manufacturer should be used on the grill.
Substitution will void the warranty. Do not use
the grill until all connections have been checked
and do not leak.
GAS FLOW CHECK
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the
factory prior to shipment; however, variations in
the local gas supply may make it necessary to
adjust the burners. The flames of the burners
should be visually checked.
Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow
tips, excessive noise or lifting. If any of these
conditions exist, check to see if the air shutter or
burner ports are blocked by dirt, debris, spider
webs, etc. If you have any questions regarding
flame stability, please call customer service 1-
800-913-8999.
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks
before each use. It is handy to keep a
spray bottle of soapy water near the shut-
off valve of the gas supply line. Spray all
the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks.
ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER
EVERY L.P. TANK CHANGE
GENERAL
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak
tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete
gas tightness check must be performed at the
installation site due to possible mishandling in
shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly
being applied to the unit. Periodically check the
whole system for leaks following the procedures
listed below. If the smell of gas is detected at
anytime you should immediately check the entire
system for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure that all packing material is removed
from the grill including the burner tie-down straps.
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LEAK TESTING.
NEVER PERFORM LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN
FLAME.
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent
and one part water. You will need a spray bottle,
brush, or rag to apply the solution to the fittings.
For the initial leak test, make sure the L.P. cylinder
is full.
TO TEST
1. Make sure the control valves are in the “OFF”
position, and turn on the gas supply.
2. Check all connections from the LP gas regulator
and supply valve up to and including the
connection to the manifold pipe assembly (the pipe
that goes to the burners). Soap bubbles will appear
where a leak is present.
3. If a leak is present, immediately turn off the gas
supply and tighten the leaky fittings.
4. Turn the gas back on and recheck.
5. Should the gas continue to leak from any of the
fittings, turn off the gas supply and contact
customer service at 1-800-913-8999.
