OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• 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.
• Only a qualified gas supplier should refill
the L.P. tank.
• 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.
LEAKAGE CHECK
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas
tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible shifting during
shipment, installation or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically
check the whole system for leaks and immediately check the system if the smell of gas is
detected.
1. Do not smoke while leak testing.
2. Extinguish all open flames.
3. Never leak test with an open flame.
4. Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent
or liquid soap and water.
5. Turn off the burner control knobs. (see Fig. 6)
6. Turn the top knob of the fuel supply cylinder
counterclockwise two (2) rotations to open.
7. Apply the soap solution to connections of the
fuel supply assembly. Spoon leak check
solution at all: "X" locations (see Fig. 7).
If no soap bubbles appear, there is no gas
leak. If bubbles form at the connections, a leak
is detected. If a leak is detected, immediately
turn off the gas supply, tighten any leaking
fittings, turn gas on, and repeat steps 5-6.
8. Turn off the knob on the fuel supply cylinder.
9. Turn on the burner control knobs for a moment
to release the pressure in the hose, then turn the control knobs back off.
10. Wash off soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.
Check all gas supply fittings before each use and each time, make sure the gas supply
cylinder is connected to the regulator. Have a qualified service technician to replace the grill
leak parts if any time need.
Also it is recommended to perform a leak test at least once a year whether or not the
DO NOT store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under
or near the grill. Never fill the cylinder beyond
80% full.
If this information is not followed exactly, a fire
causing death or serious injury may occur.
