LEAK TESTING
All factory-made connections have been thoroughly
tested for gas leaks and the burners have been flame tested. However
shipping and handling may have loosened a gas fitting.
AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION
- Test all fittings for leaks before using your gas
barbecue.
- Test the Cylinder valve for leaks each time the
cylinder is filled.
- Test for leaks every time you disconnect and reconnect
a gas fitting.
- Do not smoke!
- Never test for leaks with a lighted match or open
flame.
- Test for leaks outdoors.
TO TEST FOR LEAKS
1. Connect the flexible tube and regulator to a full
gas cylinder.
2. Check that all control knobs are turned to "OFF".
3. Prepare a soap solution of one part water, one
part liquid detergent.
4. Open cylinder valve all the way.
5. Brush the soap solution on each connection.
6. A leak is identified by a flow of bubbles from
the area of the leak.
7. If a leak is detected, close the gas cylinder "shut-off"
valve, tighten the connection and retest (step 5).
8. If the leak persists, contact your barbecue
dealer for assistance. Do not attempt to operate the appliance if
a leak is present.
