GAS LEAK TESTING

It is important that you leak test the BBQ before ﬁrst use and every time the gas

cylinder is reﬁlled and reconnected to the BBQ.

To Complete Leak Test

• In a small container, mix up a solution of water and detergent/soap.

• Mix the solution well (about the same concentrate as washing up water).

• Turn the cylinder ON by rotating the knob to open position.

• Using a brush or spray bottle apply the soap solution to the gas line and each

join in the gas line including:

- the gas connection at the inlet of the BBQ

- all gas hose connections

- the gas connection at the gas cylinder

• If bubbles appear, there is a gas leak.

• If the leak is at the connection, re-tighten and re-seal.

• If the leak is anywhere else or you cannot resolve the leak by tightening the

connection DO NOT PROCEED.

• Replace gas hose

• Replacement hose can be purchased from your local BBQ retail specialist.
