To test for leaks:
1. Extinguish any open flame or cigarettes in the area.
. Be sure that cylinder valve and appliance valves are “off’.
. Connect LP gas cylinder. See “Hose and Regulator”.
4. Prepare a soap solution of one part water, one part liquid
detergent.
5. With a full gas cylinder, open cylinder slowly.
6. Brush the soap solution on each connection. (Fig. 4 & 5)
7. If your grill is equipped with a side burner or rear burner:
a. Place finger tip over the opening in the orifice at the end of
hose.
b. Turn “SIDE”/“REAR” control to “HI”.
c. Brush soap solution on each connection between orifice and
control valve. (Fig. 6)
d. Turn “SIDE”/“REAR” control to “OFF”.
8. A leak is identified by a flow of bubbles from the area of the leak.
9. If a leak is detected, close the gas cylinder “shut-off’ valve, tighten
the connection and retest (Step 5).
0. If the leak persists, contact your grill dealer for assistance. Do not
attempt to operate appliance if a leak is present.
