CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
FINAL CHECKS
LEAK TESTING
Leak Test Procedure:
• Create a soapy solution of 1 part soap and 3 parts water.
• Confirm that all control knobs are in the off position.
• Turn on the fuel supply. For natural gas, turn the valve
handle 1/4 turn to align with the gas flow.
• For L.P., turn the cylinder valve knob counter clockwise
one full rotation.
• Apply the soap solution generously by paint brush or
squirt bottle on all connections and fittings.
• If bubbles appear to “grow” on any of the connections,
you have a gas leak. IMMEDIATELY turn off the gas
supply.
Fixing a Gas Leak:
• Shut off the gas supply
• Turn all grill controls to the “ON” position to purge the
grill of any gas build-up, then turn the controls back
“OFF”.
• Wash off the soapy solution with cold water and dry.
• Tighten the loose joint, or replace the faulty part with
manufacturer-recommended replacement parts.
• DO NOT attempt 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.
LOW HEAT BURNER ADJUSTMENT
FOR MAIN BRASS BURNERS AND SIDE BURNERS
ONLY!
DO NOT ADJUST THE ROTISSERIE BURNER.
The main brass burners and side burners on your grill
feature an adjustable low setting.
Fluctuations in gas pressure, gas conversion and even in the
quality of the gas itself may affect burner performance at the
“LOW” setting. It could be either too high or too low.
To Adjust the Burner to a Low Setting:
• Make sure the grill is cool.
• Remove the racks so you can see the flames while
adjusting the burners.
• Light the burner and allow it to preheat on high for 3
minutes.
• Turn the burner to “LOW”.
• Pull off the control knob.
• While holding the valve shaft with pliers as shown insert a
small flat screwdriver into the center shaft and adjust the
flame’s low setting.
Clockwise will lower the flame setting, counterclockwise will
raise it.
The proper setting is where the flame is stable at its low-
est setting. A slight flutter will be present in the crossover
portion of the front of the burner before the burner itself
becomes weak.
The factory setting for propane gas is ½ to ¾ turn from the
very bottom of the adjustment. The setting for natural gas
is 1-½ to 1-¾ from the bottom. After the low settings are
proper, turn all burners to high for visual inspection.
Please note the low flame adjustment is not available for
the rotisserie valve.
To prevent fire or explosion hazard, DO NOT
smoke or allow any potential source of ignition
(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 fire or flame.
DANGER!
