Checking For LP Gas Leaks
Never
test for leaks with a flame. Prior to first
use, at the beginning of each season, or every
time your LP gas tank is changed, you must
check for gas leaks. Follow these four steps:

4.
Apply the soap solution to all gas
connections. If bubbles appear in the soap
solution the connections are not properly
sealed. Check each fitting and tighten or
repair as necessary.
If you have a gas leak that you cannot
repair, turn off the gas at the source, discon-
nect fuel line from your grill and call
1-800-770-9769
or your gas supplier for repair
assistance.

position, then turn the gas ON at source.

WARNING
!
Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.
Turn the control knobs to OFF position.
Put out any flame with a fire extinguisher.
Open grill lid.
Get away from the LP gas tank.
Do not try to fix the problem yourself.
If odor continues or you have a fire you
cannot extinguish, call your fire department.
Do not call near the LP gas tank because
your telephone is an electrical device and
could create a spark resulting in fire and/or
explosion.
A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of
gas indicates a serious problem with your
gas grill or the LP gas tank. Failure to
immediately follow the steps listed below
could result in a fire or explosion that could
cause serious bodily injury, death, or prop-
erty damage.
NOTE:
The normal flow of gas through the
regulator and hose assembly can create a
humming noise. A low volume of noise is
perfectly normal and will not interfere with
operation of the grill. If humming noise is
loud and excessive you may need to purge
air from the gas line or reset the regulator
excess gas flow device. This purging proce-
dure should be done every time a new LP
gas tank is connected to your grill. For help
call the Customer Service Helpline for
assistance.
WARNING
Set control knobs to OFF and open the LP gas
tank valve slowly until 1/4 to 1/2 open.
Push and turn the LEFT control knob to HIGH.
Immediately press the electric ignitor for 3-4
seconds to light the burner.
If the burner does not light, turn the control knob to
OFF, wait 5 minutes for gas to clear, then retry.
Once the left grill burner is ignited, the adjacent
burner can be lit by simply turning its control knob
to HIGH.
Adjust control knobs to your desired cooking
temperature.
Failure to open Grill Lid during the
lighting procedures could result in a fire
or explosion that could cause serious
bodily injury, death, or property damage.
