A
WARNING
A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of
gas indicates a serious problem with your gas
grill or the LP gas tank. Failure to immedi
ately follow the steps below could result in a
fire or explosion that could cause serious
bodily injury, death, or property damage.
•
Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.
•
Turn the Control Knobs to OFF position.
•
Put out any flame with a proper fire extin
guisher.
•
Open Grill Lid.
•
Get away from the LP gas tank.
• Do not try to fix the problem yourself.
• If odor continues or you have a fire you
cannot extinguish, call your fire department.
Do not call near the LP gas tank. Your
telephone is an electrical device and could
create a spark resulting in fire and/or explosion.
NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the
regulator and hose assembly can create a
humming noise. A low volume of noise is
normal and will not interfere with operation of
the grill. If humming noise is loud and exces
sive you may need to purge air from the gas
line or reset the regulator excess gas flow
device. This purging procedure should be
done every time a new LP gas tank is
connected to your grill. For help call the
Customer Service Helpline.

Checking For LP Gas Leaks
Never test for leaks with a flame. Prior to first
use, at the beginning of each season, or every
time your LP gas tank is changed, you must
check for gas leaks. Follow these four steps:
1. Make a soap solution by mixing one part liquid
detergent and one part water.
2. Turn the grill Control Knobs to the full OFF
position, then turn the gas ON at source.
3
. Apply the soap solution to all gas connections.
If bubbles appear in the solution the connec
tions are not property sealed. Check each
fitting and tighten or repair as necessary.
4
. If you have a gas leak you cannot repair, turn
off gas at the source, disconnect fuel line from
your grill and call 1-800-4-MY-HOME® or your
gas supplier for repair assistance.
