Leak Testing & Lighting Grill
Leak Testing
LEAK TEST ALL GAS CONNECTIONS BE-
FORE USING YOUR GRILL.
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LEAK TESTING.
DO NOT LEAK TEST WITH A MATCH OR
OPEN FLAME.
DO NOT USE A GRILL THAT IS LEAKING GAS.
YOU SHOULD TEST FOR GAS LEAKS EVERY
TIME YOU DISCONNECT AND RECONNECT A
GAS FITTING.
PERFORM A LEAK TEST EVEN IF YOUR
GRILL WAS DEALER OR STORE ASSEM-
BLED.
DO NOT IGNITE BURNERS WHEN LEAK
TESTING.
LEAK TESTING
1. For LP models, leak test with a full propane cylin-
der.
2. For systems other than self-contained LP cylinders:
A. The grill and its individual shut-off valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping
systems during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi
(3.5 kPa).
B. The grill must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its own manual shut
off valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at pressures equal to or
less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
1. Grill burner control valves should be turned off and
the gas turned on at source.
2. Apply soap solution to all gas connections.
To make soap solution, mix together equal
amounts of liquid detergent and water.
3. Soap bubbles will appear if there is a leak.
4. Tighten the connection to make proper seal. And
recheck for soap bubbles.
If you cannot stop a gas leak by tightening,
turn gas supply off. Take leaking joint apart,
clean it, reconnect and test again. If leak
persists, contact the dealer or gas utility.
A gas system MUST be tested yearly, or
whenever the LP cylinder or any other gas
system part is replaced.
Lighting Your Grill

BURNER.
DO NOT LEAN OVER AN OPEN GRILL. KEEP
YOUR HEAD AND BODY AT LEAST ONE FOOT
AWAY WHEN LIGHTING THE GRILL.
IF BURNER DOES NOT LIGHT, IMMEDIATELY
TURN BURNER CONTROL KNOBS TO OFF.
WAIT FIVE MINUTES TO LET GAS CLEAR BE-
FORE YOU TRY LIGHTING AGAIN.
LIGHTING

normal.

3. Turn gas ON at LP tank or supply. Wait 5 seconds
for regulator to set itself.
4. Turn either burner control knob to HIGH and rotate
the ignitor knob CLOCKWISE several times. One half
of the burner should light. Turn the other burner con-
trol knob to HIGH and the other half of the burner will
light automatically.
5. Check that the burner is lit by looking through the
match light hole on the lower right hand side. The
burner flame should be a hard blue cone with a mini-
mum amount of yellow flame, although some yellow
dust flicks may occur.
6. Close the grill lid and pre-heat the grill for five to ten
minutes before cooking.
