How to perform a leak test:
Supplies Needed for a Leak Test: Clean paint
brush, water, and dish washing liquid.
1) Use a 1 pound disposable LP Cylinder.
2) Make sure the control knobs to grill and
accessories are turned to the “off” position.
4) Mix one part of water with one part of dish
washing liquid.
5) Connect LP cylinders to the main grill burner,
the side table burner and the lantern.
6) Check for leaks by brushing the soap solution
on all LP gas connections and fittings indicated
by the heavy arrows in (FIG. 12A-2D) Make
sure you generously brush the locations with
the soap solution, completely surrounding the
connections and fittings.
7) If “growing” bubbles appear on any of the
connection points, you have detected a gas
leak. Immediately disconnect the LP cylinder.
A) If leak appears at either end of hose and
regulator assembly, retighten the connection at
the leak, but do not over tighten.
(Note: Only hand tighten cylinder connections.)
Repeat Leak Test.
B) If the leak is coming from the LP gas
cylinder itself, from the valves at the control
knobs, or if the leak cannot be stopped, do not
use the grill. Call Customer Service at 1-800-
251-7558.
8) Upon completion of leak test:
A) Turn all control knobs to the “Off” position.
B) Disconnect LP cylinders from the
connections to the Main Grill Burner, Side
Burner and Lantern.
9) Place the protective cap over the LP cylinder
gas nozzles. Store the cylinders in a safe
place.
