FINAL CHECKS
DANGER!
To prevent re or explosion hazard, DO NOT smoke or
allow any potenal source of ignion (sparks, electrical
arcing, etc) in the area while performing a leak test.
Leak tests should be conducted outdoors only. Never
conduct a leak test using re or ame.
Leak Test Procedure:
 Create a soapy soluon of 1 part soap and 3 parts water.
 Conrm that all control dials are in the o posion.
 Turn on the fuel supply. For natural gas, turn the valve handle 1/4
turn to align with the gas ow.
 For L.P., turn the cylinder valve dial counter clockwise one full
rotaon.
 Apply the soap soluon generously by paint brush or squirt bole
on all connecons and ngs.
 If bubbles appear to “grow” on any of the connecons, you have
a gas leak. IMMEDIATELY turn o the gas supply.
Fixing a Gas Leak:
 Shut o the gas supply
 Turn all smoker controls to the “ON” posion to purge the smok-
er of any gas build-up, then turn the controls back “OFF”.
 Wash o the soapy soluon with cold water and dry.
 Tighten the loose joint, or replace the faulty part with
manufacturer-recommended replacement parts.
 DO NOT aempt to repair the L.P. cylinder valve if it is damaged.
The only way to safely resolve a damaged cylinder is to REPLACE
IT.
 Repeat the leak test to ensure that no leaks are present.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure you know where the main gas supply shut-
o valve is located.
Finally, for safety and for proper use and care, you must
have this manual. Please keep it somewhere safe for
future reference.
