INSTALLATION
GENERAL:
Although all gas connections on the outdoor appliance are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a com-
plete 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 im-
mediately check if the smell of gas is detected.
Before Testing:
Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame. Make a soap
solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or rag to apply the
solution to the fittings. For LP units, check with a full cylinder. The valve panel must be removed to check the
valves and fittings. Remove the knobs, then remove the 2 screws which fasten the valve panel to the unit (you
will need a Phillips screw driver for this). Pull the valve panel outward and unplug the wires from the ignition
module.
To Test:
Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position. Turn the gas supply “on”. Check all connections from the
supply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe assembly. Apply the soap solution around the
connection, valve, tubing and end of the manifold. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a leak is
present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking connections, turn gas on, and recheck. Check all
the gas connections at the base of the control valves where they screw into the manifold pipe.
If you cannot stop a gas leak, turn off the gas supply and call your local gas utility, or the dealer you purchased
the appliance from. Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the outdoor appli-
ance. Substitution can void the warranty.
WARNING!
Do not use the outdoor appliance until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas supply
shut-off valve. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks.
