Checking For Leaks; Lighting Instructions - Kenmore 125.16642900 Use & Care Manual

WHEN TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST:
• After assembling your grill and before lighting for the
first time, even if purchased fully assembled,
• Every time the LP gas cylinder is refilled or if any of the
gas components are replaced,
• Any time your grill has been moved,
• At least once per year or if your grill has not been used
for more than 60 days,
CHECKING FOR LEAKS:
After all connections are completed, check all connections and
fittings for leaks with a soap solution.
• With all valves closed, apply the leak check solution (50/50
mix of dishwashing detergent and water) to all gas carrying
connections, fittings and to tank seams,
• Open tank valve,
Presence of bubbles at areas of wet solution indicates a gas
leak. If leaks are detected or you smell or hear gas, shut off
the valve and repair the leak or replace the defective part. Do
not use the smoker until all leaks are corrected.
LP tanks are intended for operation in the upright position
only.
If the appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at
the supply cylinder and the cylinder should be disconnected
from the appliance.
Storage of the appliance indoors is only permissible if the
cylinder is disconnected and removed from the appliance.
Ensure that the grill is properly assembled.
Inspect the gas supply hose for burns, chaffing, kinks, and
proper routing before each use. If it is evident there is
excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be
replaced prior the grill being used. In order to insure proper
operation, any replacement of the fuel tank regulator must be
done with identical replacement parts. Call 1-800-848-8915 for
replacement parts.
