GENERAL
Although all gas connections on the barbeque are leak tested
at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas leak test
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 following the procedures listed
below. If the smell of gas is detected at anytime, you
should immediately shut down gas supply at the cylinder
supply valve, then check the entire system for leaks.
BEFORE TESTING
Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill
including tie-down straps and protective coatings.
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LEAK TESTING.
NEVER PERFORM LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one
part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or rag to
apply the solution to the fittings. For the initial leak test, make
sure the L.P. cylinder is full (to 80% capacity).
TO TEST
Make sure the control valves are in the "○" (OFF)
1.
position, and turn on the gas supply.
2.
Check all connections from the L.P. gas regulator and
supply valve up to and including the connection to the
manifold pipe assembly (the pipe that goes to the
burners). Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is
present.
3.
If a leak is present, immediately turn off the gas supply
and tighten the leaky fittings.
4.
Turn the gas back on and recheck.
5.
Should the gas continue to leak from any of the fittings,
turn off the gas supply and contact your nearest
Barbeques Galore store on 1300 301 392 for after sales
service and support.
Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should
be used on the grill.
Substitution will void the warranty. Do not use the barbeque
until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
GAS FLOW CHECK
Each burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to
shipment; however, variations in the local gas supply may
make it necessary to adjust the burners. The flames of the
burners should be visually checked.
Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips,
excessive noise or lifting. If any of these conditions exist,
check to see if the air shutter or burner ports are blocked by
dirt, debris, spider webs, etc. If you have any questions
regarding flame stability, please contact your local
Barbeques Galore store on 1300 301 392 for after sales
service and support.
ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY L.P. GAS
CYLINDER CHANGE
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.
Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet when the
cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust
cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided
with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or
plugs may result in leakage of propane.
The gas must be turned off at the cylinder supply
valve when the unit is not in use.
If the appliance is stored indoors the cylinder
must be disconnected and removed from the
appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in
a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children.
Your barbeque is ready to use!
