Leak Testing
GENERAL INFORMATION BEFORE TESTING TESTING
Although all gas connections on
your VINTAGE Grill are leaked
tested at the factory prior to
shipment, a complete gas tightness
check must be performed at the
installation site due to possible
mishandling in shipment, or
excessive pressure unknowingly
being applied to the unit.
Periodically check the whole
system for leaks, or immediately
check if the smell of gas is
detected.
Make sure that all packing material is
removed from the grill including the
burner tie-down straps.
• Check all gas supply fittings before
each use.
• Do not smoke while leak testing.
•
You will need a spray bottle or brush
to apply the solution to all connection
points to test for gas leaks. Make a
soap solution of one part liquid
detergent and one part water.
• L.P. units, check with full cylinder.
• Grills must be leak tested outdoors in
a well-ventilated area, away from any
ignition sources such as gas fired or
electrical appliances. During leak
test, keep grill away from open flames
or sparks.
**Never leak test with an open flame**
1) Always confirm that all burner control
knobs are in the OFF position.
2) Always connect the gas supply hose first
and then open the gas shutoff valve.
Turn on fuel supply. For natural gas, turn
valve handle ¼ turn to align with gas flow.
For LP turn cylinder valve knob counter
clockwise one full rotation.
3) Use a spray bottle or brush to apply 50/50
solutions of liquid soap and water to all
connection points.
4) It is key to look for bubbles to appear, as
the appearance of bubbles will indicate a gas
leak. If a leak is present, immediately
turn off gas supply valve and tighten any
leaking fittings, or by replacing the faulty
part with a replacement part recommended
by the manufacturer. DO NOT attempt to
repair the LP cylinder valve if it should
become damaged; the cylinder MUST be
replaced. Then turn gas on, and recheck.
5) Always repeat the following procedure
until no further gas leaks are detected before
lighting the Grill. NEVER attempt to light
this grill if a leak cannot be stopped.
6) If a leak cannot be stopped, turn off the
gas supply and call your dealer where you
purchased your Grill.
7) Only those parts recommended by the
manufacturer should be used on the grill.
Substitution can void the warranty. Do not
use the Grill until all connections have been
checked and do not leak.
IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT LEAK TESTS MUST BE REPEATED EACH TIME LP CYLINDER IS
EXCHANGED OR REFILLED.
If a leak is present, or if the connection hose shows signs of wear, these conditions must be corrected prior to using
your grill.
Disconnected L.P. cylinders must have threaded valve plugs tightly installed, and must NOT be stored in a building,
garage or any other enclosed area.
The gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder when the unit is not in use.
If the appliance is stored indoors, the cylinder must be disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders
must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of reach of children.
