WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always check for gas
leaks any time the natural gas hose is disconnected and
then reconnected.
STEP 16: TESTING VALVES AND HOSE FOR
LEAKS
Turn all control knobs on the control panel OFF ( O ).
Make sure the natural gas hose is properly connected to
the natural gas supply line.
Turn on the gas supply line.
If you hear a rushing sound, immediately shut off the gas
supply and call your gas supplier or your fire department.
This sound means there is a major leak at the connection.
Using a clean paint brush and a 50/50 mixture of mild soap
and water, brush soapy solution over all the connections
and fittings on the grill.
"Growing" bubbles indicate a leak. Turn off the gas at
the supply line. Disconnect the natural gas hose then
retighten all connections.
NOTE: If leaks cannot be stopped, do not try to repair.
Call for replacement parts.
If you are not using the grill immediately after the leak
test, disconnect the natural gas hose.

STEP 17: BURNER FLAME CHECK
See Figure 19.
Light burners and turn the control knobs from high to
low. (See the Operations section later in this manual.)
A smaller flame should be seen on low while the high
positions flame should be approximately 1 in. in height.
If only a low flame is seen, you may have low gas
pressure. If so, check your natural gas hose for kinks or
obstructions.
