How to perform a leak test

WARNING! Never use an open flame to test for

gas leaks.

1) Mix one cup of water with one cup of dish washing

liquid.

2) Confirm that all control knobs on the control panel

are in the off position.

3) Remove control knobs and the three retaining screws at

the bottom of the control panel.

4) Remove front control panel cover.

5) Open valve on LP gas cylinder (Turn counter-

6) Check for leaks by brushing the soap solution on all

LP gas connections and fittings. Make sure you

generously brush the seven locations with the

soap solution, completely surrounding the connections

and fittings (See diagram below.)

7) If “growing” bubbles appear on any of the connection

points, then you have detected a gas leak. Immediately

close the LP cylinder valve.

assembly, retighten the connection at the leak,

but do not overtighten. (Note: Only hand tighten

at coupling nut) (See Step 12 of Assembly Ins

tructions) Repeat Leak Test.

B) If the leak is coming from the LP gas cylinder,

from the valves at the control knobs, or if the leak

cannot be stopped, do not use the grill. Call Custome

r Service at 1-800-251-7558.

8) Always turn off LP cylinder valve after performing a leak

test. (Turn clockwise to a full stop.)

9) If your LP gas grill has been in storage or has not been

used for a period of time, the burners should be

maintained. See Burner Maintenance in the Care and

Maintenance section of this manual.
