Leak Testing; Ignition Battery - DCS BH1-36RL Installation Manual/User Manual

Leak Testing

IMPORTANT!
Gas leak testing must be carried out by a qualified technician.
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 and the safety valve knob,
then remove the 2 screws which fasten the valve panel to the unit (you will need a Philips screw driver
for this). Pull the valve panel outward and unplug the wires from the ignition module. In the back of the
unit remove the screws which hold the service panel in place. Remove the service panel.
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, tubing and end of the manifold. Avoid getting the soap solution
on or in the valve switches. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a leak is present,
immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking connections, 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 rotisserie burner and safety valve the burner must be lit, then leak test the connections
located behind the service panel. 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.
IMPORTANT!
y Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
y Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas
supply shut-off valve. Spray all the fittings, bubbles indicate leaks.
