Leakcheck
The gas connections of the gas grill were checked for leaks at the factory. However, for safety reasons you
should check all connections again for leaks before you start up your gas grill. Individual gas connections
may have come loose during transportation, or incurred damage.
For your own safety check the gas connections every time before you start the grill!
1. Check whether all control knobs on the grill are at "•" OFF.
2. Connect the gas pressure regulator according to the section "Fitting the gas pressure
regulator".
3. Open the gas cylinder valve by turning anticlockwise (at least two full turns).
4. Check all gas connections for leaks. Apply soapy solution (approx. 50 % liquid soap /
50 % water) to all parts carrying gas.
Alternatively, use a suitable leak detector spray.
5. If you see fine bubbles forming in the soapy solution at any point, this
indicates a leak.
6. Eliminate the leaks by tightening the loose screw fixing or hose clips, if
possible, or replacing the defective parts.
7. Repeat the test again (from step 3).
8. If the leaks cannot be eliminated, consult your dealer. You may not
operate the grill in this condition!
As some leak detector sprays, including soapy water, are possibly
slightly corrosive, you must rinse all connections with water after the
leak test and dry them.
A) Connection of pressure regulator to gas cylinder (using
union nut)
(the connection is located at the gas cylinder valve)
B) Connection of gas hose to pressure regulator
(the connection is located downstream of the pressure
regulator)
C) Apply
soapy solution
(approx. 50 % liquid soap / 50 % water) to all parts
carrying gas. Alternatively, use a suitable
leak detector spray
. Small bubbles
form if the gas hose is leaking.
By means of a
visual inspection
check whether the gas hose has cracks, porous
areas, wear, indentations or animal bites.
Also perform the
smell test
. If you smell gas, the hose is possibly leaking.
If you detect damage to the hose, the grill must not be used. The hose must only
be replaced with an approved replacement hose.
