IMPORTANT INFORMATON REGARDING LP GAS AND GAS CONNECTIONS (CONT.)
WHAT IS A LEAK CHECK?
Once the LP tank is properly installed, it is necessary to perform a leak check. A leak check is a reliable way to verify
that gas is not escaping aer you connect the tank. The fuel system in your grill features factory made connections
that have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks and the burners have been ame-tested. We recommend performing
a thorough leak check aer assembly, as well as annually.
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS
1) Wet ttings with a soap and water solution using a spray bottle, brush, or rag. You can make your own soap and
water solution by mixing 20% liquid soap with 80% water, or you can purchase leak check solution in the plumbing
section of any hardware store.
2) Slowly open gas supply by turning tank valve counterclockwise while checking for bubbles.
3) If bubbles appear there is a leak:
a) If the leak is at the cylinder, turn o the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Disconnect the tank and return the
tank to your local retailer.
b) If the leak is at the regulator, turn o the gas. NEVER ATTEMPT TO TIGHTEN THE REGULATOR WITH TANK
VALVE OPEN. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact Customer Service:

and water solution. If leak persists. turn o the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL.
d) If the leak is at any ttings indicated in illustration, turn o the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL.
4) If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete:
a) Turn gas supply o at the tank and rinse connections with water.
NOTE: Since some leak test solutions including soap and water, may be slightly corrosive; all connections should be
rinsed with water aer checking for leaks.
DANGER: Do not use a ame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open ames in the area while you
check for leaks.
DANGER: Leaking gas may cause a re or explosion.
DANGER: Do not operate the grill if there is a gas leak present.
DANGER: If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of gas escaping from the liquid propane tank:
1) Move away from liquid propane tank.
2) Do not attempt to correct the problem yourself.
3) Call your re department.
DANGER: Always close the tank valve before disconnecting the regulator. Do not attempt to disconnect the gas regula-
tor and hose assembly or any gas tting while this grill is in operation.
DANGER: Do not store a spare LP tank under or near this grill. Never ll the tank beyond 80% full. Failure to follow
these instructions exactly may result in a re causing death or serious injury.
INSPECT THE HOSE
Routine inspection of the hose is necessary.
1. Conrm that the grill is o and cool.
2. Check hose for any signs of cracking, abrasions, or cuts. If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use
the grill.
