TESTING FOR GAS LEAKS
Before attempting to operate this Grill :
1. Always confirm that all burner control knobs are in the OFF position.
2. Always connect the gas supply hose first and then open the gas shutoff valve.
3. Always use a brush or spray bottle to apply a 50/50 solution of liquid soap and water to all connection
points (see Fig. 5) to test for gas leaks. Never use a match or open flame for that purpose.
4. Always look for bubbles to appear, as the appearance of bubbles will indicate a gas leak. Always turn off
the gas immediately and tighten the connection, if you find that a leak exists.
5. Always repeat this procedure until no further gas leaks are found to exist, before lighting the Grill.
6. Never attempt to light this Grill, however, if a leak cannot be stopped. Always call your gas supplier
promptly to obtain assistance.
WARNINGS:
• Always consult the Rating Label on the back of the Grill to confirm that it has already been configured to
burn Natural Gas.
• All gas supply plumbing should be performed only by a qualified service agency. In the U.S., the sup-
ply connection must be made in accordance with local code or, in the absence of local codes, with the
national fuel gas codes, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54. In Canada, the supply connection shall be carried out in
accordance with the provincial authorities having jurisdiction and in accordance with the requirements
of the CAN/CGA 1-B149.1 installation code. A shutoff value must be installed between the gas grill and
the main supply. For natural gas, use a 3 /
8
” or 1 /
2
” natural gas supply line capable of an a input of at least
75,000 BTUs.
• Always disconnect the Grill and close its individual manual shutoff valve, when conducting pressure tests
of the gas supply piping system at pressures which exceed 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
• Always isolate the Grill from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.
