Owner’s Manual Leak Testing Procedure
LEAK TESTING PROCEDURE
Leak Testing
Perform a leak test at least once each year whether the gas supply cylinder has been disconnected or not. In
addition, anytime the gas cylinder is connected to the regulator or any part of the gas system is disconnected or
replaced, conduct a leak test.
As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test your grill outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never smoke
or permit sources of ignition in the area while doing a leak test. Do not use a flame, such as a lighted match to
test for leaks. Use only a leak testing solution as specified below.
Leak Testing Procedure
1. Prepare a leak testing solution of sudsy water by mixing in a spray bottle half-liquid soap and half water.
2. Check and make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF position.
3. Turn cylinder valve knob counter clockwise one turn to open.
4. Apply leak-testing solution by spraying on joints of the gas delivery system.
5. Blowing bubbles in the soap solution indicates that a leak is present.
6. Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint or by replacing the faulty part with a replacement part
recommended by the manufacturer. Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it should become
damaged. The cylinder must be replaced.
7. If you are unable to stop a leak, shut off the gas supply at the cylinder valve. Remove the cylinder from
the grill. Call an authorized gas appliance service technician or LP gas dealer. Do not use the appliance until
the leak is corrected.
8. Push in and turn any control knob to release pressure in the hose and manifold.
9. Turn off the control knob.
