GENERAL:
Although all gas connections on the 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 mishandling 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:
Fig 3
Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open
flames. Never 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 LP units, check
with a full cylinder. The valve panel must be removed
to check the valves and fittings. First, remove the
knobs. Next, remove the drip pan tray to access the
screws that affix the front panel to the unit. Using a
screwdriver, remove the screws. Lastly, gently pull the
panel downward and out, making sure that you are not
pull out the wires to the ignition system and lights.
Unplug the wires from the ignition module and the
back of the ignition button. Remove the screws which
hold the service panel in place.
TO TEST:
Make sure that all control valves are in the "OFF"
position. Turn the gas supply "ON". Check all
connections from the supply line, or LP cylinder up to
and including the manifold. Soap bubbles will appear
where a leak is present. If a leak is present,
immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking
connections, turn gas on, and recheck. Check all the
gas connections at the base of the control valves
where they screw into the manifold pipe
To check rotis burner and safety valve, the burner
must be lit, then leak test the connections located
behind the service panel. If you cannot stop a gas
leak, turn off the gas supply and call your local gas
company, or the dealer from whom you purchased
the grill. Only those parts recommended by the
manufacturer should be used on the Grill.
Substitution can void the warranty.

Do not use the grill until all connections have been
checked and do not leak.
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 valve. Spray all
the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks. (See Fig. 3 and 4)
