WARNING

If you smell gas:

•Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.

•Turn the Control Knobs to OFF position.

•Extinguish any open flame such as candle, cigarette lighter, etc., that could cause gas to ignite.

•Open the Grill Lid.

•Get away from the LP gas tank.

•Do not try to fix the problem yourself.

•If odor continues or you have a fire you cannot extinguish, call your fire department. Do not call near the LP gas tank. Your tele- phone is an electrical device and could create a spark resulting in fire and/or explosion.

NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the regulator and hose assembly can create a humming noise. A low volume of noise is normal and will not interfere with operation of the grill. If humming noise is loud and exces- sive you may need to purge air from the gas line or reset the regulator excess gas flow device. This purging procedure should be done every time a new LP gas tank is connected to your grill. For help call the Grill Information Center.

Checking For LP Gas Leaks

Never test for leaks with a flame. Prior to first use, at the beginning of each season, or every time your LP gas tank is changed, you must check for gas leaks. Follow these four steps:

1.Make a soap solution by mixing one part liquid detergent and one part water.

2.Turn the grill Control Knobs to the full OFF position, then turn the gas ON at source.

3.Apply the soap solution to all gas connections. If bubbles appear in the solution the connec- tions are not properly sealed. Check each fitting and tighten or repair as necessary.

4.If you have a gas leak you cannot repair, turn

off gas at the source, disconnect fuel line from

your grill and call 1-800-4-MY-HOME®or your gas supplier for repair assistance.

LP Tank Exchange

•Many retailers that sell grills offer you the op- tion of replacing your empty LP tank through an exchange service. Use only those reputable exchange companies that inspect, precision fill, test and certify their cylinders. Exchange your tank only for an OPD safety feature-equipped tank as described in the LP Tank section of this manual.

•Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in upright position during use, transit or storage.

•Leak test new and exchange LP tanks BEFORE connecting to grill.

LP Tank Leak Test

For your safety

•Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is exchanged of refilled.

•Do not smoke during leak test.

•Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.

Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ven- tilated area, away from ignition sources such as gas fired or electrical appliances. During leak test, keep grill away from open flames or sparks.

Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap and water solution. Brush soapy solution onto

areas indicated by arrows in figure below.

WARNING

If growing bubbles appear do not use or move the LP tank. Contact an LP gas Supplier or your fire department!

•Do not use household cleaning agents. Damage to gas assembly components can result.
