DANGER
To prevent fire or explosion hazard:
· Do not smoke while performing a leak
test.
· Do not permit any sources of ignition
in the area when testing for leaks.
· Perform leak tests outdoors only.
· Never perform a leak test near a fire
or flame.
How to Check the Fuel-Supply System
for Gas Leaks
1. Mix a solution of equal parts mild deter-
gent or liquid soap and water.
2. Turn off the burner-control knobs.
3. Turn the top knob of the fuel-supply cyl-
inder counterclockwise one rotation to open.
4. Apply the soap solution to all connec-
tions of fuel-supply assembly.
If no soap bubbles appear, the grill is fine
for use.
If bubbles form at the connections, there
is a leak. In case of a leak, try tightening the
joint. If necessary, replace the faulty part with
a replacement part recommended by the
manufacturer.
5. Turn off the knob on fuel-supply cylin-
der.
6. Turn on the burner-control knobs for a
moment to release pressure in hose, then
turn the control knobs back off.
7. Wash off soapy solution with cold water
and towel dry.
WARNING! Do not attempt to repair
the cylinder valve. If it becomes dam-
aged, the cylinder must be replaced.
If you are unable to stop a leak, shut off
the gas supply at the cylinder valve. Remove
the cylinder from the grill. Call a gas appli-
ance serviceman or L.P. gas dealer. Do not
use appliance until the leak is fixed.
Leak Testing

Supply System
Arrows denotes primary areas
to check.
27
Perform a leak test each time the gas-sup-
ply cylinder is connected to the regulator.
Leak test any time a part of the gas system
is replaced. Perform a leak test at least once
each year whether the L.P. gas supply cylin-
der has been disconnected or not.
Have a dealer check the cylinder for dete-
rioration after 10 years, according to DOT
regulations. Immediately replace cylinder if
any is found.
IMPORTANT! Inspect the gas-supply hose
regularly. If there are cuts, excessive abra-
sion, or wear, replace the hose prior to oper-
ating the appliance.
Use only the hose replacement specified
in the parts list for your grill.
