cigarette lighter, etc., that could cause gas
to ignite.
• Open the Grill Lid.

cannot exlingui^, call your fire department.
Do not call near the LP gas tank. Your tele­
phone is an ^ectrical 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 Grill information
Center.

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 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 line from
your grill and cal! 1-800-4-MY-HOME® or your
gas supplier for repair assistance.
LP Tank Exchange
• Many retailers that sell grills offer you the op­
tion of replacing your empty LP tank through an
exchange service. Use only those reputable
exchange
companies that inspect, precision
fill, test and certify their cylinders. Exchange
your tank only for an OPD safety feature-equipped
tank as described in the LP Tank section of
this manual.
• Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in
upright position during use, transit or storage.
• Leak test new and exchange LP tanks BEFORE
connecting to grill.
LP Tank Leak Test
For your safety
• Leak test must be repeated each time LP tank is
exchanged of refilled.
• Do not smoke during leak test.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
• Grill must be leak tested outdoors in a well-ven­
tilated area, away from ignition sources such as
gas fired or electrical appliances. During leak test,
keep grill away from open flames or sparks.
• Use a clean paintbrush and a 50/50 mild soap
and water solution. Brush soapy solution onto
areas indicated by arrows in figure below.
