ƽ WARNING: An LP (propane) tank is overfilled if it contains
more than 80% by weight of its total capacity of propane
(LP). An incorrectly filled or an overfilled LP (propane) tank
can be dangerous. If this information is not followed exactly,
a fire causing death or serious injury may occur. If a tank
is overfilled and the weather causes the warming of the LP
tank, (a hot day, tank left in sun or stored indoors) internal
pressure is created due to expansion of the propane which
in turn causes the LP gas to be released through the pres-
sure relief valve on the tank. The pressure relief valve is a
safety device required on 20 lb. propane tanks by the Depart-
ment of Transportation to prevent a catastrophic tank failure
due to excessive pressure. LP gas released from the tank is
flammable and can be explosive.
Gas Leak Checks
Remove Control Panel for Leak Testing
1. Remove control knobs.
2. Remove the two (2) screws and washers holding each valve to the control panel and
control knob bezel.
3. Loosen the control panel by removing two (2) screws from each side of the front
control panel.
4. Pull control panel away from grill.
Never use a match or fl ame for leak detection. Use soapy water or testing solution.
Brush the solution onto connection points and look closely for bubbles indicating
escaping gas. If leaks are detected, shut off the main gas supply valve and securely
retighten connections, then repeat the leak test.
On cabinet models, perform this operation before placing the tank into its storage
compartment. After placing the tank in the compartment, recheck the tank to see if any
connections were disturbed.
ƽ WARNING: Never use an open flame when testing for gas
leaks. Use of an open flame may result in serious bodily
injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage
to property.
Check:
1) Side burner hose to side burner valve.
2) Gas supply hose-to-manifold connection.
ƽ WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (1) or (2), retighten
the fitting with a wrench and recheck for leaks with soap and
water solution. If a leak persists after retightening the fitting,
turn off the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the
Customer Service Representative in your area by calling
1-800-382-2637.
3) Regulator-to-Cylinder connection.
4) The hose-to-regulator connection.
5) Valves-to-manifold connections.
ƽ WARNING: If there is a leak at connections (3), (4) or (5),
turn off the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the
Customer Service Representative in your area by calling
