Installation
Leak test:
1. Brush or spray soapy solution onto all connections shown (see image A).
2. Slowly open LP cylinder shut-off valve by turning hand wheel counterclockwise, while checking for bubbles.
3. If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak.
a. If the leak is at the cylinder (see image B), turn cylinder shut-off valve clockwise to the “CLOSED” position. DO NOT OPERATE THE
BARBECUE. Disconnect the cylinder and return the cylinder to your local retailer.
b. If the leak is at the regulator or manifold connections (see image C), turn cylinder shut-off valve clockwise to the “CLOSED” position.
Re-tighten connections and repeat steps 1 and 2.
c. If leaks cannot be stopped do not try to repair. Call for replacement parts. Order new parts by contacting Vida by PADERNO™
Customer support 1-800-263-9768.
4. If bubbles do not appear, leak check is complete. Turn the LP cylinder shut-off valve clockwise to close.
NOTE: SOME LEAK TEST SOLUTIONS MAY BE SLIGHTLY CORROSIVE. ALL CONNECTIONS SHOULD BE RINSED WITH WATER AFTER CHECKING FOR LEAKS.
