Testing for Leaks

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

•Test all gas connections for leaks before

using your propane grill.

•Test for leaks every time you connect

the gas supply.

•Do not smoke while checking for leaks.

•DANGER - Do not use an open flame to

check for gas leaks. Be sure there are

no sparks or open flames in the area

while you check for leaks. This will

result in a fire or explosion which can

cause serious bodily injury or death,

and damage to property.

•Test for leaks outdoors in a well venti-

lated area.

1. Mix a couple tablespoons of liquid

detergent with an equal amount of

water. Use mild soap and water. DO

NOT USE HOUSEHOLD CLEANING

AGENTS.

2. Be sure that the Temperature Control

Knob is in the LOCK/OFF position.

3. Use a clean paint brush to brush soapy solution onto connection

between gas cylinder and Regulator orifice, and watch for bubbles.

4. If bubbles form or if a bubble grows, there is a leak. Retighten connec-

tion and repeat steps (2) and (3).

NOTE: If you cannot stop a leak, remove gas cylinder and check for dam-

aged threads, dirt and debris at the connection and gas cylinder. Also check

to see if anything is obstructing flow of gas at the connection and gas cylin-

der openings. Remove any obstruction that may be found and repeat leak

test.

Checking the Ignitor:

•The Temperature Control Knob must be in the “LOCK/OFF” position.

Press the Ignitor button rapidly. A “CLICK” should be heard and spark

seen through Flame Viewing Hole.
