7.4. What materials do I need?
To check for gas leaks, you require the following:
• A test fluid. You can use a ready-to-use leak spray or
mixture of water (50%) and dish soap (50%).
• The leak testing tool supplied with the appliance. This fluid
is used to suction up the test fluid and apply it to the gas
parts or gas connections that you want to check.
7.5. Check for gas leaks
You can check for gas leaks by applying a test fluid to all gas
parts and gas connections. If there are large bubbles on a
specific part or connection, there is a gas leak.
Proceed as follows to check for gas leaks:
1. Place the appliance outside.
2. Take the leak testing tool and test fluid (leak spray or water/
dish soap mix)
3. Open the lid and set all control knobs to OFF.
4. Open the gas supply slightly. To do this, turn the valve on
the gas supply just once.
5. Suction a small amount of test fluid with the leak testing tool
and apply it to the zone that you want to check.
The following parts must be checked:
• The weld seams on the gas bottle (A)
• The hose (B)
• The connections between the gas bottle and the pressure
regulator and between the pressure regulator and the hose (C)
• The connection between the hose and the appliance (D)

The pressure regulator and coupling on your
appliance may differ from the examples in the
figures.
6. Proceed as follows:
• If you detect a leak, follow the instructions in
"7.6 In the event of a gas leak".
• If there are no leaks, close the gas supply, rinse all parts
thoroughly with water, and dry them well.
7.6. In the event of a gas leak
1. Close the gas supply and proceed as follows:
• If you have detected a leak on one of the connections,
firmly tighten the connection in question.
• If you have detected a leak on the gas bottle or hose,
replace the gas bottle or hose.
2. Check the connection or part where you detected the leak
again.
3. If the leak has not been fixed, you must contact a
Barbecook dealer. You must not start using the appliance
until the leak has been fixed.
Consult www.barbecook.com or a list of
Barbecook dealers near you.
