During high pressure testing your gas grill and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system. During any pressure testing of that system at least pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
During low pressure testing your gas grill must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
WARNING
Burner valves are pre‐tested at the factory to operate on natural gas. If you wish to convert or change it, be sure to contact your
grill distributor or dealer FIRST!
DANGER
To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:
1.
Always perform the "leak test" as below before lighting the grill and each time the cylinder is connected for use.
2.
Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.
3.
Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well‐ventilated area.
4.
Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks.
5.
Do not use grill until all leaks have been stopped. If you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the propane supply, call for
gas appliance service or your local propane gas supplier.
1.
Make 2‐3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water.
2.
Make sure control knobs are in the "OFF" position.
3.
Spray some solution on the connection points of the natural gas hose.
4.
Inspect the solution at the connections for bubbles. If no bubbles appear, the connection is secure.
5.
If bubbles appear, you have a leak. Proceed to step 6.
6.
Disconnect the natural gas hose from the valve and reconnect. Make sure the connection is secured.
7.
Retest with solution.
8.
If you continue to see bubbles, replace the quick release connector or/and natural gas hose.
DANGER
Failure to open lid while igniting the grill's burners or not waiting five minutes to allow gas to clear if the grill does not light, may
result in an explosion, which could cause serious bodily injury or death.
WARNING
Never stand with your head directly over the grill when preparing to light the main burners, to prevent possible bodily injury.
WARNING
Attempting to light the burner with the lid closed may cause an explosion. Make` sure there are no obstructions of airflow to the
gas unit. Spiders and insects can nest and clog the burner/venturi tube at the orifice. A clogged burner tube can lead to a fire
beneath the appliance.
Lighting Main Burner
1. Open lid while lighting burners.
2. Make sure all control knobs are in the "OFF" position.
3. Turn on natural gas valve.
4. Ignite only the burners you wish to use. Push desired burner valve knob and rotate
slowly about 1/4 counterclockwise until a click is heard. (See diagram to right).
Push and turn the knob to "HIGH" then press the igniter button immediately.
The burner should light. If the burner does not light, repeat 2 or 3 times.
5. If ignition does NOT occur in 5 second turn the burner controls to OFF, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting procedure.
6. To ignite remaining burners, repeat same procedure. Adjust valve knob(s) to desired.
