POST-ASSEMBLY
GENERAL
• Although all gas connections on the grill are leak-tested at the factory prior to shipment,
a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible
mishandling in shipment or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit.
Periodically check the whole system for leaks or immediately check if the smell of gas
is detected.

BEFORE TESTING

1. Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill, including the burner tie-down
straps.
2. Do not smoke while leak-testing.
3. Never leak-test with an open flame.
4. Make a soapy solution with one part liquid detergent (or soap) and one part water. Prepare a
spray bottle, brush, or rag to apply the solution to the connections. For the initial leak test,
make sure the LP cylinder is full.
5. Grill must be leak-tested outdoors in a well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources such
as gas-fired or electrical appliances and flammable materials.
6. Keep grill away from open flames and/or sparks while testing.
TO TEST
1. Make sure all control knobs are in the OFF position.
2. Make sure the regulator is connected tightly to the LP tank.
3. Completely open LP tank valve by turning counterclockwise. If you hear a "POP" sound,
turn gas off IMMEDIATELY because it indicates a heavy leak at the connection. Call your
gas dealer or fire department.
4. Check every connection from the LP tank up to and including the connection to the manifold
pipe assembly (the pipe that goes to the burner) by brushing or spraying the soapy solution
on the connections.
5. If soap bubbles appear, there is a leak. Turn off LP tank valve IMMEDIATELY and retighten
connections. Open LP tank valve again and recheck.
6. If leaks cannot be stopped, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR. Call Consumer Affairs for help.
7. Always close the LP tank valve after leak-testing by turning clockwise. Only those parts
recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill. Substitution will void the
warranty. Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
