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 departinent.
Do not call near the LP gas tank. Your tele­
phone 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 with this procedure refer
to page 17, step 4, or call for assistance.

Checking For LP Gas Leaks

Never test for leaks with a flame. Prior to first
use, at file 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 properly 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 tine from
your grill and call 1-800-4-MY-HOME® or your
gas supplier for repair assistance.
