Gas Leaks Checks
Before operating your grill, check carefully to be certain that all connections are tight and there are no gas leaks. Never use a match or flame for leak detection. Use soapy water or testing solution. Brush the solution on to connection points and look closely for bubbles indicating escaping gas. If leaks are detected, shut off the main gas supply valve and securely retighten connections, then repeat the leak test.
CAUTION: The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (14” wc).
CAUTION: The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (14” wc).
WARNING: Never use an open flame when testing for gas leaks! Use of an open flame may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.

When firing your grill for the first time, it is advisable to run the Main Burner(s) on “HI” for 20 minutes with the hood down and then turn the Main Burners “OFF”. This tempers the grill.
Lighting Your Grill
WARNING: Before each use of your grill it is important to inspect the full length of the gas line hose. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, the hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation.
DANGER: Make sure that the lid is in the full open postion any time you attempt to light your grill. Failure to open the lid could lead to delayed ignition which may result in serious bodily injury or death, or in a fire or an explosion causing damage to property.
Check your parts list or your authorized dealer for the proper replacement hose assembly. For base cabinet model grills, it will be necessary to go behind your grill to check the hose.
