GENERAL
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak
tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete
gas tightness check must be performed at the
installation site. Periodically check the whole
system for leaks following the procedures listed
below.
If the smell of gas is detected at anytime you should
immediately check the entire system for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure all packing materials have been
removed from the grill, including the burner tie-
down straps.
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.
TO TEST
1. Turn off all control valves, and turn on the gas
supply.
2. Apply the soap solution to all pipe fittings, from
the natural gas regulator and supply valve or
from the LP cylinder up to and including the
pipe that connects to the burners. Soap bubbles
will appear where a leak is present.
3. If a leak is present, immediately turn off the gas
supply and tighten the leaky fittings.
4. Turn the gas back on and recheck.
5. If gas continues to leak from any of the fittings,
turn off the gas supply, and contact customer
service at 1-800-554-5799.
Only those parts recommended by the
manufacturer should be used on the grill.
Substitutions will void the warranty.
GAS FLOW CHECK
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the
factory prior to shipment. However, variations in the
local gas supply may make it necessary to adjust
the burners.
Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow
tips, excessive noise or lifting.
If any of these conditions exist, first check to see if
the burner is blocked by dirt, debris, spider webs,
etc.
It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy water
near the shut-off valve of the gas supply line. Spray
all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks.
Disconnected liquid propane 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 the reach of children.
WARNING
Do not use the grill until all connections have
been checked and do not leak.
Do not smoke while leak testing.
Never leak test with an open flame.
