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 mis-
handling 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:
• Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill.
• Make sure the burner tie-down straps are removed from the unit.
• Do not smoke while leak testing.
• Never leak test with an open flame.

To connect the regulator / hose assembly follow the next steps:
1. Locate the regulator and gas connection point in the rear right side of your BBQ unit (remove the
rear panel from the BBQ cart to gain access - in cart mounted models).
2. Attach a 1/2” FPT x 1/2” MPT (male-to-female) elbow to the regulator (see figure # 3).
3. Fasten the hose connection to a 1/2” MPT x 3/8” COMP (compression flare fitting) connected to
the elbow. (see figure # 3).
Connect flare fitting to gas supply using a 1/2” Ø minimum flexible stainless steel gas hose, no more
than 48” in length.
