Check all connections for LP Gas Leaks
Never test for leaks with a flame. Prior to first use,
at the beginning of each season, or every time
your LP Gas tank is changed, you must check for
gas leaks. Follow these three steps:
[] Make a soap solution by mixing one part liquid
detergent and one part water.
[] Turn the grill Control Knobs to the full OFF
position, then turn the gas ON at source.
[] Apply the soap solution to all gas connections
indicated by the arrows. See diagram. If
bubbles appear in the soap solution the
connections are not properly sealed. Check
each fitting and tighten or repair as necessary.
