Leak Testing - ProFire 48G Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions

LEAK TESTING

CHECK ALL GAS SUPPLY FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE EACH USE.
Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the shut-off valve of the gas supply valve. Spray all the fittings.
Bubbles indicate leaks. Although all gas connections on the ProFire grill are leak tested at the factory
prior to shipment a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possi-
ble 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.
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 L.P. units, check with a full cylinder. The valve panel must
be removed to check the valves and fittings. Remove the knobs. Then remove the screws which fasten
the valve panel to the unit. Pull the valve panel outward and unplug the wires from the back of the rotary
igniter. If your grill has the optional rear broiler, remove the screws which hold the inspection cover in
place.
TO TEST
Make sure all control valves are in the
tions from the supply line, or L.P. cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe assembly. Apply the
soap solution around all connections, valves, and tubing. Soap bubbles will appear where there is a leak
present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn gas on, and
recheck.
IF YOU CANNOT STOP A GAS LEAK TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY AND CALL YOUR
LOCAL GAS UTILITY, OR THE DEALER YOU PURCHASED THE APPLIANCE FROM.
Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the ProFire gas grill.
Substitutions will void the warranty.
Do not use the ProFire gas grill until all connections have been checked
and do not leak.
