Checking for Gas Leaks
Check for gas leaks every time you connect your Broilmaster ®
propane gas grill to a Propane gas cylinder, when a connected
cylinder has not been used recently, or when either a natural or
propane grill is being used for the first time.
Caution: Do not use an open flame when checking for leaks.
Checking for leaks with an open flame may lead to a fire or
explosion, resulting in property damage or personal injury.
To check for gas leaks:
1. Use dish washing liquid and a little water to make a soapy
solution.
2. Turn OFF the knob on the control panel.
3. Turn ON the gas at the supply or cylinder. A hissing sound
indicates a leak. Turn OFF the gas and repair the leak.
4. Apply the soapy water solution to all gas connections.
5. Look for bubbles. Bubbles indicate a leak.
6. If there are bubbles turn OFF the gas and repair the leak.
7. Turn the gas back ON and repeat the above procedures until
all leaks are repaired.
