OPERATION - PROPANE AND NATURAL GAS GRILLS

Check for Gas Leaks
Check for gas leaks every time you connect your Broilmaster
propane gas grill to a Propane gas cylinder, when a connected
cylinder has not been used recently, or when either a natural or
propane grill is being used for the first time.
D
o not use an open flame to check for leaks. Checking for
leaks with an open flame may lead to a fire or explosion,
resulting in property damage or personal injury.
To check for gas leaks:
1. Use water dish and a little dish washing liquid to make a
soapy solution.
2. Turn OFF the knob on the control panel.
3. Turn ON the gas at the supply or cylinder. A hissing sound
indicates a leak. Turn OFF the gas and repair the leak.
4. Apply the soapy water solution to all gas connections.
5. Look for bubbles. Bubbles indicate a leak.
6. If you see bubbles turn OFF the gas and repair the leak.
7. Turn the gas back ON and repeat the above procedures until
all leaks are repaired.

five minutes the burner flames are blue with well defined cones.
If, after five minutes the flame is yellow, or there is a gap between
the burner and the flame, adjust the venturi air shutter as follows:
1. Turn gas OFF and let the burner cool.
2. Beneath the control panel you can access the air shutter(s)
which are located on the end of the burner tubes.
3. Loosen shutter set screw.
4. Close the air shutter to the minimum opening.
5. Light the burner, wait five minutes and then carefully open
the air shutter until the flame is blue and well-defined.
6. Retighten the set screw.
