LeakTesting

·Always perform a leak test before each use.

·Leak test must be performed in a well ventilated area.

·Never perform a leak test on a grill while in use or hot.

·If you detect a gas leak that cannot be corrected by using the leak test procedures below, do not use the LP gas grill.

·Never smoke or have an open flame near the grill during a leak test.

Supplies Needed for a Leak Test

Clean paint brush, water, and dishwashing liquid.

How to perform a leak test (See Step 13 of Assembly Instructions for leak test diagrams.)

WARNING! Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks.

1)

Mix one cup of water with one cup of

dishwashing

liquid.

2)

Confirm that all control knobs on the control panel

are in the “off” position.

3)

Remove control knobs and the three retaining

screws at the bottom of the control panel.

4)Remove front control panel cover.

5)Open the valve on LP gas cylinder (Turn the

handle

on the LP gas cylinder counter-clockwise)

6) Check for leaks by brushing the soap solution on

all LP gas connections and fittings. (See STEP

13 of

Assembly Instructions for diagram of the 7

locations)

Make sure you generously brush the loca-

tions with the

soap solution, completely surrounding

the connections and fittings.

7) If “growing” bubbles appear on any of the

connection

points, then you have detected a gas

leak.

Immediately close the LP cylinder valve by turn-

ing the

handle clockwise.

A)If leak appears at either end of hose and regulator assembly, retighten the connection at the leak,

but

do not overtighten. (Note: Only hand tighten at

coupling nut) (See Step 12 of Assembly

Instru

ctions). Repeat Leak Test.

 

B) If

the leak is coming from the LP gas

 

cylinder,

from the valves at the control knobs, or if

the leak

cannot be stopped, do not use the grill.

maintained. See Burner Maintenance in the Care and Maintenance section of this manual.

OPERATING THE LP GAS GRILL

·Before proceeding, make certain that you understand the Important Safeguards on pages 2 thru 4 of this manual.

·Before lighting the LP gas grill, you must open

the hood to prevent an explosion from gas build-up.

·If your LP

gas grill catches on fire:

-If the fire is in the grill portion and you can safely reach the control knobs on the control panel, then turn them to the off position.

-If the fire involves one of the hoses, and you can safely reach the LP cylinder valve, shut the valve off.

-If the fire involves the cylinder, leave it alone, evacuate the area and call the fire department.

-If there is any type of fire that threatens either personal safety or endangers property, call the fire department.

·If you notice grease or other hot material dripping from the grill onto the valve, hose, or regulator, turn off the gas supply immediately. After the grill has cooled, determine the cause and correct it. After cleaning the valve and hose and regulator assembly,

perform a leak test before continuing use. (See Step 13 of Assembly Instructions)

·Do not operate an LP gas grill if you have knowledge of or suspect a gas leak.

·Never allow children to operate or play near an LP gas grill. Do not leave grill unattended.

·Always turn off the LP gas cylinder at the LP cylinder valve when not in use. Allow grill to cool before

handling parts or cleaning.

·Do not move an LP gas grill when in use or hot.

·Never touch hot surfaces. Use heat resistant gloves, long-handled tongs, or cooking mitts at all times since the grill will become very hot. Open the hood

carefully when cooking to avoid burns from the hot air and steam trapped inside.

·Do not wear loose clothing (example: hanging shirt tails, clothing with frills, etc.) around a LP

gas grill while in use or hot.

·Never lean your body over the LP gas grill when lighting it or while it is in use or hot.

·This LP gas grill is not designed to be used with more than 50% of the cooking area as a solid plate (griddle). Full coverage of plates will cause excessive heat and could damage the grill.
