OPERATION - PROPANE & NATURAL GAS GRILLS

Checking for Gas Leaks

Check for gas leaks every time you connect your Broilmaster propane gas grill to a Propane gas cylinder, when a con- nected cylinder has not been used recently, or when either a natural or propane grill is being used for the first time.

Caution: Do not use an open flame when checking for leaks. Checking for leaks with an open flame may lead to a fire or explosion, resulting in property damage or personal injury.

To check for gas leaks:

1.Use dish washing liquid and a little water to make a soapy solution.

2.Turn OFF the knob on the control panel.

3.Turn ON the gas at the supply or cylinder. A hissing sound indicates a leak. Turn OFF the gas and repair the leak.

4.Apply the soapy water solution to all gas connections.

5.Look for bubbles. Bubbles indicate a leak.

6.If there are bubbles turn OFF the gas and repair the leak.

7.Turn the gas back ON and repeat the above procedures until all leaks are repaired.

The burner (venturi) tube air shutter is preset at the factory so that after five minutes the burner flames are blue with well defined cones. If, after five minutes the flame is yellow, or there is a gap between the burner and the flame, adjust the burner (venturi) tube air shutter as follows:

1.Turn gas OFF and let the burner cool.

2.Beneath the control panel you can access the air shutter(s) which are located on the end of the burner tubes.

3.Loosen shutter set screw

4.Close the air shutter to the minimum opening.

5.Light the burner, wait five minutes and then carefully open the air shutter until the flame is blue and well defined.

6.Retighten the set screw.
