5.4 Checking for Gas Leak
mDANGER
Check gas system for leaks to prevent fire or explosion hazard
1.The “Leak Check” must be performed before lighting the grill and each time the cylinder is connected for use.
2.Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.
3. Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
4. Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks.
5. Do not use grill until all leaks have been stopped. If you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the propane supply, and call for gas application service or your local propane gas supplier.
Leak Check Method
1.Make 2-3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water.
2.Make sure control knob is in the “OFF” position.
3.Spray or paint some leak solution on the cylinder and regulator connection.
4.Inspect the solution at the connections, looking for bubbles. If no bubbles appear, the connection is secure.
5.If bubbles appear, a leak is detected. Go to step 6.
6.Disconnect the cylinder from the regulator, and reconnect. Make sure the connection is secure and no leak is found before using the grill.
7.If you continue to see bubbles, DO NOT USE THE GRILL. Repeat the above process with a different LP cylinder. If leaks are still present, contact the customer service center.
