6. If “growing” bubbles appear on any of the connection points, you have detected a gas leak. I mmediately close the
LP Gas Cylinder valve by turning handle clockwise
a. If leak appears at either end of hose and regulator assembly, retighten the connection at the leak, but do not
over-tighten. (NOTE: Only hand tighten at coupling nut in Fig. 1 shown on previous page) Repeat Leak Test.
b. If the leak is coming from the 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 1-800-251-7558. Be sure to have the grill model
number and serial number printed on the blac k label, located on the back of the cart shroud. If you need a
replacement part under warr anty, a proof of purchase will be necess ary.
7. Upon completion of leak test, turn all Control Knobs to the “Off” position. Turn the handle on the LP Gas Cylinder
clockwise until it stops. Disconnect LP Gas Cylinder by tur ning coupling nut on regulator in a counterclockwise
direction until regulator is released from threaded LP Gas Cylinder nozzl e.
8. Place the protective cap over LP Gas Cylinder nozzle.
Lighting the Grill Using the Ignitor
Should you notice that your Burner(s) are getting hard to light or the flame is not as hot as it once was, refer to the
“How to Clean your Burners” s ection on page 31, to remove any possible obstructions.
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire or explosion:
• Open Hood before lighting the gr ill to prevent an explosion from gas build-up.
• During failed lighting attempts, or if the B urners go out during operation, turn Control Knobs “Off” to dissipate
any accumulation of gas. Wait five minutes before repeating lighting procedure.
• Light each burner from the lef t before lighting the next burning to prevent gas from accumulating.
WARNING
!
To reduce the risk of death or serious injury from an explosion or a fire beneath the grill:
• Reg ularly inspect an d clean Burner/Venturi Tubes for insects or insect nests. Spiders or sm all insects can build nests,
webs, and lay eggs in the grill’s Venturi Tubes, (Fig 9, page 31) obstructing the flow of gas to the Burner. The backed-
up gas can ignite behind the Control Panel and cause a fire beneath the grill, posing the risk of death or serious bo dily
injury. This is known as a “flashback.”
• Be sure Burners are re-installed properly before using grill.
WARNING
!
Check The Flame
The Burners have been preset by the manufacture r for optimal flame per-
formance. A blue flame, possibly with a small yellow tip, is the result of the
optimal air and gas mixture.
Check the flame before each cooking session and throughout the grillin g
season. Check the flame especially after long perio ds of storing the grill. If the
flame is significantly yellow in color, the appropriate amount of LP gas in the
air/LP gas mixture is not correct. This could be due to a blocked Burner from
grease drippings or from insects building a nest inside the Burne r or Burner
opening. See How to Clean the Burners.
