PREPARING TO USE YOUR GRILL

WHAT IS A LEAK CHECK?

The fuel system in your grill features many connections and fittings. A leak check is a reliable way to make sure that no gas is escaping from any of the connections or fittings.

Although all factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks, it’s important to perform a leak check before using your grill for the first time, as well as anytime you disconnect and reconnect a fitting and each time you perform routine maintenance.

PARTIAL DISASSEMBLY OF YOUR GRILL FOR A LEAK CHECK

In order to do the leak check, you need to have access to the gas valves, which will require some simple grill disassembly.

Confirm that Grill Is Off

A)Turn gas supply off at source.

B)Check that ALL burner control knobs are in the off () position (1). Control knobs are shipped in the off () position, but you should check to be sure that they are turned off. Check by pushing control knobs in and turning them clockwise. If they do not turn, they are off. If they do turn, continue turning them clockwise until they stop; then they are off. If your grill has a side burner, make sure the side burner control knob is turned off.

Remove Control Panel

You will need: A Phillips screwdriver.

A)Disconnect the two wires from the igniter button located on the underside of the control panel (2). NOTE: Pull from terminals at ends of wires.

B)Remove control knobs (3).

C)Remove the screws from the front of the control panel with a Phillips screwdriver (4).
