Testing for Leaks
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
•
Test for leaks outdoors in a well ventilat-
ed area.
•
Test all gas connections for leaks before
using your propane grill.
•
Test for leaks every time you connect the
gas supply.
•
Do not smoke while checking for leaks.
•
DANGER - Do not use an open flame to
check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open flames in the
area while you check for leaks. This will result in a fire or explosion
which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and damage to property.
1.
Mix a couple tablespoons of liquid detergent with an equal amount of
water. Use mild soap and water. DO NOT USE HOUSEHOLD CLEANING
AGENTS.
2.
Be sure that the Temperature Control Knob is in the LOCK/OFF position.
3.
Use a clean paint brush to apply soapy solution onto connection
between gas cylinder and Regulator orifice, and watch for bubbles.
4.
If bubbles form or if a bubble grows, there is a leak. Retighten connec-
tion and repeat steps (2) and (3).
NOTE:
If you cannot stop a leak, remove gas cylinder and check for dam-
aged threads, dirt and debris at the connection and gas cylinder. Also check
to see if anything is obstructing flow of gas at the connection and gas cylin-
der openings. Remove any obstruction that may be found and repeat leak
test.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly
IMPORTANT:

Burner Assembly. However, remove the propane cylinder, Regulator Assembly,
Grilling Rack and Flame Diffuser/Drip Tray. Turn the Grill Body on it's left-hand
side and look into the open Venturi tube with a flashlight. If necessary, clean it
out with a pipe cleaner.
Clean the outside of the Burner Assembly with a paper towel or damp sponge.
Open any clogged holes with a thin wire.
