Connecting the Liquid Propane Gas Cylinder
To connect the liquid propane gas cylinder:
1. The cylinder valve should be in OFF position.
2. Make sure the burner valve is in OFF position.
3. Inspect the valve connections, port and regulator assembly. Remove debris and inspect the hose for
damage.
4. When connecting the regulator assembly to the valve, use your hand to tight the nut clockwise until it
stops. Use of a wrench could damage the quick coupling nut and result in a hazardous situation.
5. Open the cylinder valve fully by turning the valve counterclockwise.
6. Before lighting the grill, use soap and water solution to check all connections for leaks.
7. If leak found, turn the cylinder valve OFF, and do not use the grill until local liquid propane dealer can
make repairs.
Disconnecting the Liquid Propane Gas Cylinder

3. Detach the regulator assembly from the cylinder valve by turning the quick coupling nut
counterclockwise.
4. Place dust cap for cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use.
Leak Testing
GENERAL
Although the gas connections of the appliance are leak tested prior packing and shipment, a complete test
must be performed at the installation site.
Before each use, check all the gas connections for leak testing using the procedure listed below. If the smell
of gas is detected at any time, you should immediately stop using and check the entire system for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure all packing material have been removed from the appliance.
Make a solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brash or rag to
apply the solution to the fittings.
TO TEST
1. Turn the burner valve OFF
2. Turn the liquid propane cylinder valve off counterclockwise to open the valve.
3. Apply the soap solution to all gas fittings. Soap bubbles would appear where a leak is present.
4. If a leak is present, immediately turn the gas supply OFF and tighten leaky fittings.
5. Turn the gas back ON and recheck.
6. Should the gas continue to leak from any of the fittings, turn the gas supply OFF and contact customer
service.
