•Insure Regulator Hose does not contact hot metal surfaces.
Supplies Needed for a Leak Test

How to perform a leak test
Warning! Never use an open flame to test 
for gas leaks.
1)Mix one cup of water with one cup of dishwashing liquid detergent.
2)Confirm that all control knobs on the Control Panel are in the “off” position.
3)Open valve on LP gas cylinder
(Turn counter - clockwise).
4)Check for leaks by brushing the soap solution on all LP gas connections and fittings.
Make sure you generously brush the locations shown below in View A with the soap solution, completely surrounding the connections and fit- tings.
5)If “growing” bubbles appear on any of the connection points, you have detected a gas leak. Immediately close the LP cylinder valve.
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.) 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. Call Customer Service at
6)Always turn off LP cylinder valve after perform- ing a leak test (Turn clockwise to a full stop).
7)If your LP gas grill has been in storage or has
not been used for a period of time, the burners should be maintained. See Burner Maintenance in the Care and Maintenance section of this manual.
