Leak Testing

DANGER

To prevent fire or explosion hazard:

·Do not smoke while performing a leak test.

·Do not permit any sources of ignition in the area when testing for leaks.

·Perform leak tests outdoors only.

·Never perform a leak test near a fire or flame.

How to Check the Fuel Supply System for Gas Leaks

1.Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent or liquid soap and water.

2.Turn off the burner control knobs.

3.Turn the top knob of the fuel-supply cylinder counterclockwise one rotation to open.

4.Apply the soap solution to all connections of fuel-supply assembly.

If no soap bubbles appear, the grill is fine for use.

If bubbles form at the connections, there is a leak. In case of a leak, try tightening the joint. If necessary, replace the faulty part with a replacement part recommended by the manufacturer.

5.Turn off the knob on fuel-supply cylinder.

6.Turn on the burner control knobs for a moment to release pressure in hose, then turn the control knobs back off.

7.Wash off soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.

WARNING: Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve. If it becomes damaged, the cylinder must be replaced.

If you are unable to stop a leak, shut off the gas supply at the cylinder valve. Remove the cylinder from the grill. Call a gas appliance serviceman or L.P. gas dealer. Do not use appliance until the leak is fixed.

Perform a leak test each time the gas supply cylinder is connected to the regulator. Leak test any time a part of the gas system is replaced. Perform a leak test at least once each year whether the L.P. gas supply cylinder has been disconnected or not.

Have a dealer check the cylinder for deterioration after 10 years, according to DOT regulations. Immediately replace cylinder if any is found.

IMPORTANT! Inspect the gas supply hose regularly. If there are cuts, excessive abrasion or wear, replace the hose prior to operating the appliance.

Use only the hose replacement specified in the parts list for your grill.
