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.

ALWAYS OPEN GRILL BEFORE LIGHTING THE 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.

2.Turn burner control knobs to OFF position.

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.
