OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CHECKING FOR LEAKS

After all connections are made, check all connections and fittings on the LP gas tank valve, gas hose
and regulator for leaks with a water and soap solution.
To prevent fire or explosion while testing for a leak:
• Always perform leak test prior to lighting the grill.
• Do not smoke while testing for a leak.
• Always perform leak tests outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not use any source of flame while testing for leaks.
• Do not use the grill until any and all leaks are corrected.
• If you are unable to correct a leak, disconnect the propane supply and call a gas appliance service
dealer.

PERFORM LEAK TEST

• Prepare leak test solution by combining 1 part liquid dish soap with 3 parts water.
Total solution required is approximately 2 - 3 ounces (70 - 90 ml).
Put leak test solution in a spray bottle.
• Ensure all control knobs are in the 'OFF' position.
• Open LP gas tank valve.
• Spray leak test solution on all gas carrying connections and fittings. Presence of bubbles at areas
of applied test solution indicates a gas leak. If leaks are detected or you smell or hear gas, shut off
the LP gas tank immediately and repair or replace the defective part. Do not use the grill until all
leaks are corrected.
Only use the regulator and hose assembly provided! If a replacement is necessary, please
call our customer service center. Do not use replacement parts that are not intended for this grill.

CONNECTING GAS CYLINDER

The propane gas supply cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
Specifications for LP Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous
Goods; and Commission, as applicable; and provided with a listed overfilling prevention device.
Use only 20-pound cylinders (height: 18.11 inches, tank diameter: 9.84 inches, foot diameter: 8.03 inches)
equipped with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking appliances.
The cylinder must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The gas cylinder should not be dropped
or handled roughly!
If the appliance is not in use, the gas cylinder must be disconnected. Storage of an appliance indoors
is permissible ONLY if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must
be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage or any
other enclosed area. Your cylinder must never be stored where temperatures can reach over 125°F.
Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever 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.
