STEP 15-LEAK TESTING (TO BE PERFORMED IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA.)

Supplies Needed for a Leak Test

Clean paint brush, water, and dishwashing liquid

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-

clockwise).

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.
A) If leak appears at either end of hose and regulator

assembly, retighten the connection at the leak, but
do not overtighten. (Note: Only hand tighten at
coupling nut) (See Step 10 of Assembly
Instructions) 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 Customer
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.
