How to perform a leak test:
Supplies Needed for a Leak Test: Clean paint brush, water, and dish washing liquid.
1)Use an LP Cylinder equipped with an OPD (Overfill Prevention Device) and have it filled at an authorized LP gas dealer by a qualified attendant.
2)Make sure all of the grill control panel knobs are turned to the “off” position and verify that the LP gas cylinder valve is closed by turning the knob on the LP gas cylinder clockwise until it stops.
3)Mix one part of water with one part of dish washing liquid.
4)Remove Fabric Panel from the front legs if necessary.
5)Open the knob on the LP gas cylinder counter- clockwise. (FIG. 12A)
6)Check for leaks by brushing the soap solution on all gas valves, hose connections and fittings. (shown by the heavy arrows in (FIG. 12A & 12B) 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 close the LP cylinder valve by turning handle clockwise.
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 at coupling nut) Repeat Leak Test.
B)If the leak is coming from the Gas Cylinder, from the valves at the control knobs, or if the leak cannot be stopped, do not use the grill. Call Customer Service at
8)Upon completion of leak test, turn all control knobs to the “off” position. Turn the handle on the LP gas cylinder clockwise until it stops. Disconnect LP gas cylinder by turning coupling nut on regulator in a counter clockwise direction until regulator is released from threaded LP cylinder gas nozzle.
9)Place the protective cap over LP cylinder gas nozzle.
