Perform a leak test each time the gas
supply cylinder is connected to the regulator.
Leak test any time a part of the gas system
is replaced. Perform a leak test at least once
each year whether the L.P. gas supply
cylinder has been disconnected or not.
Have a dealer check the cylinder for
deterioration after 10 years, according to
DOT regulations. Immediately replace
cylinder if any is found.
IMPORTANT! Inspect the gas supply hose
regularly. If there are cuts, excessive
abrasion or wear, replace the hose prior to
operating the appliance.
Use only the hose replacement specified in
the parts list for your grill.
How to Check the Fuel Supply System for
Gas Leaks
1. Mix a solution of equal parts mild
detergent or liquid soap and water.
2. Turn off the burner control knobs.
3. Turn the top knob of the fuel-supply
cylinder counterclockwise one rotation to
open.
4. Apply the soap solution to all connections
of fuel-supply assembly.
If no soap bubbles appear, the grill is fine
for use.
If bubbles form at the connections, there is
a leak. In case of a leak, try tightening the
joint. If necessary, replace the faulty part with
a replacement part recommended by the
manufacturer.
5. Turn off the knob on fuel-supply cylinder.
6. Turn on the burner control knobs for a
moment to release pressure in hose, then
turn the control knobs back off.
7. Wash off soapy solution with cold water
and towel dry.
If you are unable to stop a leak, shut off the
gas supply at the cylinder valve. Remove the
cylinder from the grill. Call a gas appliance
serviceman or L.P. gas dealer. Do not use
appliance until the leak is fixed.
