WARNING
If you smell gas:
Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.
Turn the Control Knobs to OFF position.
Extinguish any open flame such as candle,
cigarette, lighter, etc., that could cause gas
to ignite.
Open the Grill Lid.
Get away from the LP gas tank.
Do not try to fix the problem yourself.
If odor continues
or you have a fire you
cannot extinguish,
call your fire depart-
ment.
Do not call near the LP gas tank
because your telephone
is an electrical
device and could create a spark resulting
in fire and/or explosion.
NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the
regulator and hose assembly can create a
humming
noise. A low volume of noise is
perfectly normal and will not interfere with
operation
of the grill. If humming noise is
loud and excessive
you may need to purge
air from the gas line or reset the regulator
excess gas flow device. This purging proce-
dure should be done every time a new LP
gas tank is connected
to your grill. For help
call the Grill Information
Center.
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 four steps:
1. Make a soap solution by mixing one part
liquid detergent and one part water.
2. Turn the grill Control Knobs to the full OFF
position, then turn the gas ON at source.
LP Tank Exchange

that sell grills offer you the op-
tion of replacing
your empty LP tank through an

LP tanks in
upright
position
during
use, transit
or storage.

LP Tank Leak Test
For your safety
• Leak test must be repeated
each time LP tank is
exchanged
of refilled.
• Do not smoke during
leak test.
• Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks.

tilated area, away from ignition
sources
such as

appliances. During leak test,
keep grill
away from open flames
or sparks.

to gas assembly
components
can result.

tions. If bubbles appear in the soap solution
the connections
are not properly sealed.
