1.Turn on the gas shut-off valve.

2.Coat all connections of the fuel supply system, especially at the quick-connect.

3.Watch for bubbles to indicate a leak.

4.If there is a leak, shut off the gas supply and re-connect the hose to the socket. Re-test for leaks.

Do not use the grill if a leak is detected that cannot be corrected in this manner or if the hose and connections become damaged. Replace damaged components with only factory authorized parts.

Do not strain or kink the fuel-supply hose. See that the hose is kept clear of surfaces that become hot during use.
