Leak Testing Procedure - Cal Flame Chef C100B Owner's Manual

LEAK TESTING PROCEDURE

Leak Testing
Perform a leak test at least once each year whether the gas supply cylinder has
been disconnected or not. In addition, anytime the gas cylinder is connected to
the regulator or any part of the gas system is disconnected or replaced, conduct
a leak test.
As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test your grill outdoors in a
well-ventilated area. Never smoke or permit sources of ignition in the area
while doing a leak test. Do not use a flame, such as a lighted match to test for
leaks. Use only a leak testing solution as specified below.
Leak Testing Procedure
1. Prepare a leak testing solution of sudsy water by mixing in a spray bottle
half-liquid soap and half water.
2. Check and make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF position.
3. Turn cylinder valve knob counter clockwise one turn to open.
4. Apply leak-testing solution by spraying on joints of the gas delivery
system.
5. Blowing bubbles in the soap solution indicates that a leak is present.
6. Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint or by replacing the faulty part with
a replacement part recommended by the manufacturer. Do not attempt to
repair the cylinder valve if it should become damaged. The cylinder must
be replaced.
7. If you are unable to stop a leak, shut off the gas supply at the cylinder
valve. Remove the cylinder from the grill. Call an authorized gas
appliance service technician or LP gas dealer. Do not use the appliance
until the leak is corrected.
8. Push in and turn any control knob to release pressure in the hose and
manifold.
9. Turn off the control knob.
