STEP 15: TESTiNG VALVES, HOSE, AND
REGULATOR fOR LEAKS
See Figure 23.
Connections on the hose and regulator were tested at the
factory to ensure no gas leaks were present. However,
shipping and handling could loosen connections. As a
safety precaution:
Turn all control knobs on the control panel off.
Make sure the regulator is properly connected to the
LP gas cylinder.
To open the cylinder valve: turn handwheel counter-
clockwise.
If you hear a
rushing
sound, immediately turn off the
cylinder valve. This sound means there is a major leak
at the connection. Correct the problem before pro-
ceeding.
Using a clean paint brush and a 50/50 mixture of mild
soap and water, brush soapy solution over all the con-
nections and fittings on the grill.
“Growing” bubbles indicate a leak. Close the cylinder
valve then retighten all connections.
NOTE:
If leaks cannot be stopped, do not try to repair.
Call for replacement parts.
If you are not using the grill immediately after the leak
test, close the cylinder valve by turning the valve clock-
wise).
STEP 16: TESTiNG THE LP GAS cyLiNDER
See Figure 24.
Turn the control knobs on the control panel off, turn off
the LP gas cylinder valve, and disconnect the regulator
from the cylinder.
Remove the LP gas cylinder from inside the cabinet.
Using a clean paint brush and a 50/50 mixture of mild
soap and water, brush soapy solution over areas indi-
cated by arrows in figure 24.
“Growing” bubbles indicate a leak. Do not use or
move the gas cylinder. Contact a gas supplier or the
fire department!
If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of escaping gas from
the liquid propane cylinder:
• Move away from liquid propane cylinder
• Do not attempt to correct the problem yourself
• Call your local fire department
DANGER:
DO NOT smoke or use an open flame during leak test.
If a leak is present, the gas could ignite and result in
serious personal injury.
WARNiNG:
To avoid serious personal injury, always check for gas
leaks any time the LP gas cylinder is disconnected
and then reconnected.
