LEAK TESTING:
GENERAL:
Although all gas connections on your
Alfresco ™ Gourmet Grill are leak tested at the factory prior to
shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible
mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check
the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.
BEFORE TESTING:
• Do not smoke while leak testing.
• Never leak test with an open flame.
• Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water for leak testing purposes.
• Apply the solution to the gas fittings by using a spray bottle, or brush.
• For LP units, always check with a full cylinder.
TO TEST:
• Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position.
• Apply the soap solution described above to all fittings.
• Turn the gas supply on.
• Check all connections from the supply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe
assembly.
• Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
• If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn the gas
supply back on, and recheck.
• If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your dealer where you purchased
your grill.
• Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY LP TANK CHANGE.
If a leak is present, or if the connection hose shows signs of wear, these conditions must be corrected
prior to using your grill. If it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear,or the hose is cut, it must be
replaced prior to the cooking appliance is being put into operation.
The replacement hose assembly is part number:
PROP-KIT-01 which consists of a 36” long hose assembly
with dual in-line regulator and a 3/8” ODF connector.
Contact
Alfresco ™ Grills for replacement.
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy water
near the shut-off valve of the gas supply line. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
BEFORE LIGHTING…
The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit must be used. Never substitute
regulators for those supplied with the grill. If a replacement is necessary, contact the factory for proper
replacement.
Screw the regulator (Type QCC1) onto the LP tank. Leak check the hose and regulator connections with
a soap and water solution before operating as explained on the LEAK TESTING section of this manual.
