Leak Testing Procedure

Perform a leak test at least once a year whether the gas supply cyl-
inder has been disconnected or not. In addition, whenever the gas
cylinder is connected to the side burner or whenever any part of the
gas system is disconnected or replaced, perform a leak test.
As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test your side
burner 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 a solution of
soapy water.
1. Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by mixing in a
spray bottle one part liquid soap to one part water.
2. Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF position.
3. Turn on the gas.
4. Apply the leak-testing solution by spraying it on joints of the gas
delivery system. Blowing bubbles in the soap solution indicates
that a leak is present.
5. Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint or by replacing the
faulty part with a replacement part recommended by the manu-
facturer. Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it is dam-
aged. The cylinder must be replaced.
6. Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position.
If you are unable to stop a leak:
1. Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position.
2. Shut off the gas supply to the side burner and release pressure
in the hose and manifold by pushing in and turning any of the
control valves one quarter turn counter-clockwise.
3. On LP systems, remove the cylinder from the side burner.
4. Call an authorized gas appliance service technician or an LP gas
dealer.
Do not use the appliance until the leak is corrected.
