Testing For Gas Leaks
Before attempting to operate this Grill:
• Always confirm that all burner control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
• Always connect the gas supply hose first, open lid and then open the gas shutoff valve.
o
Always use a brush or spray bottle to apply a 50/50 solution of liquid soap and water to all connection
points, to test for gas leaks. Never use a match or open flame
for that purpose.
o
Always look for bubbles to appear, as the appearance of
bubbles will indicate a gas leak.
o
Always turn off the gas immediately and tighten the
connection, if you find that a leak has been detected.
o
Before lighting the grill, always repeat this procedure until
no further gas leaks are found.
o
If a leak cannot be stopped, do not attempt to light the grill.
Always contact a certified Natural Gas technician for assistance
or the
Coleman® Customer Care Agent 1-800-275-4617.
NEW Natural Gas Barbecue
If you are experiencing poor natural gas barbecue performance,
including but not limited to low flame, low heat or poor heat
distribution, please review the following information:
• Always consult the Rating Label on the back of the barbecue to
confirm that it has already been configured to burn natural gas.
• If experiencing performance issues with a brand new barbecue hooked up to an older natural gas home
connection, it is possible that the natural gas supply line is not able to supply up to the essential 85,000 BTU’s
required (depending on the model). Please contact Coleman® Customer Care for requirements and then
consult with your certified natural gas technician.
• All gas supply plumbing must be carried out by a qualified service agency. The Supply connection shall be
carried out in accordance with provincial authorities having jurisdiction, and in accordance with CAN/CGA
1-B149.1 & 2 installation code requirements.
• A shut off valve must be installed between the barbecue and the main supply.
For natural gas, use a 3/8” or
1/2” natural gas supply line capable of an input of up to 85,000 BTU’s (depending on the model).
•
When conducting pressure test always isolate the barbecue from the gas supply piping
system
by
disconnecting the barbecue and closing its individual manual shutoff valve.
The gas supply piping system
should be tested at pressures which exceed 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
• All gas supply plumbing
must be able to supply 7” water column to the barbecue WITH ALL BURNERS IN
OPERATION
.
