Leak Testing - DCS BG36-BQARN Use And Care Manual

Leak T esting
GENERAL:
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete
gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible 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.
BEFORE TESTING:
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 LP units, check with a full cylinder.
The valve panel must be removed to check the valves and fittings. Remove the knobs, then remove the
4 screws which fasten the valve panel to the unit (you will need a torx head for this). Pull the valve
panel outward and unplug the wires from the back of the ignition button. If your grill has the optional
rotis burner, remove the screws which hold the inspection cover in place.
TO TEST:
Make sure all control valves are in the "OFF" position. Turn the gas supply "ON". Check all
connections from the supply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe assembly. Apply
the soap solution around the connection, valve and tubing. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is
present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn gas on, and
recheck. Check all the gas connections at the base of the control valves where they screw into the
manifold pipe.
To check rotis burner and safety valve the burner must be lit, then leak test the connections located
under the safety cover. 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 Grill. Substitution can void the warranty.
Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy water near
the shutoff valve of the gas supply valve. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks. (Fig. 05 & 06)
