LEAK
TESTING
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, or
immediately if the smell of gas is detected.
BEFORE TESTING:
Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open ames. Never leak test with an open ame. 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 ttings. For LP units, check with a full cylinder. Remove the control knobs and battery to
disable accidental ignition. Open the drawer containing LP or natural gas hook up, this is where all tests will be
performed.
TO TEST:
Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position. Turn the gas supply “ON”. Check all connections from
the supply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe assembly. Apply the soap solution around
the connection, valve, tubing and end of the manifold. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a
leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking connections, turn gas on, and recheck.
Check all the gas connections at the base of the control valves where they screw into the manifold pipe.
If you cannot stop a gas leak, turn off the gas supply and call your local gas utility or the dealer you purchased
the appliance from. Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill.
Substitution can void the warranty.
WARNING:
Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
Check all gas supply ttings for leaks before each use. It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy water near
the shutoff valve of the gas supply valve. Spray all the ttings. Bubbles indicate leaks. (FIG. 03 & 04)
