WHEN TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST:
•
After assembling
your grill and before lighting for the
first time, even if purchased
fully assembled,
•
Every time the LP gas cylinder is refilled or if any of the
gas components
are replaced,
•
Any time your grill has been moved,
•
At least once per year or if your grill has not been used
for more than 60 days,
CHECKING FOR LEAKS:
After all connections
are completed,
check all connections
and
fittings for leaks with a soap solution.
•
With all valves closed, apply the leak check solution (50/50
mix of dishwashing
detergent
and water)
to all gas carrying
connections,
fittings and to tank seams,
•
Open tank valve,
Presence of bubbles at areas of wet solution indicates
a gas
leak. If leaks are detected
or you smell or hear gas, shut off
the valve and repair the leak or replace the defective
part. Do
not use the smoker until all leaks are corrected.
LP tanks are intended for operation in the upright position
only.
If the appliance
is not in use, the gas must be turned off at
the supply cylinder and the cylinder should be disconnected
from the appliance.
Storage
of the appliance
indoors is only permissible
if the
cylinder is disconnected
and removed from the appliance.
Ensure that the grill is properly
assembled.
Inspect the gas supply hose for burns, chaffing,
kinks, and
proper routing before each use. If it is evident there is
excessive
abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be
replaced prior the grill being used. In order to insure proper
operation,
any replacement
of the fuel tank regulator
must be
done with identical replacement
parts. Call 1-800-848-8915
for
replacement
parts.
Leak check all gas connections
and hose. See section on
"Leak Testing".
Make sure all electrical
appliances
are connected
to grounded
power source.
Ensure that all electrical
supply cords are properly
grounded.
Keep any electrical
supply cord and the fuel supply hose away
from any heated surfaces.
Hose should
be at least 3 inches
from hot surfaces.
Position your grill on level ground in a well ventilated
location,
a
safe distance
from combustible
materials,
