Leak Testing - Electrolux EGL4401X Use & Care Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION
Although all gas connections on the grill are leaked tested at the factory prior
to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the
installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure
unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for
leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.
BEFORE TESTING
Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test
with an open flame.
Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent or liquid soap and water.
TESTING
1. Turn off the burner control knobs.
2. Turn the top knob of the fuel supply cylinder counterclockwise (right to left)
one rotation to open.
3. Apply the soap solution to connections of the fuel supply assembly. If no soap
bubbles appear, there is no gas leak. If bubbles form at the connections, a
leak is detected. (If a leak is detected, immediately turn off the gas supply,
tighten any leaking fittings, turn gas on, and receck).
4. Turn off the knob on the fuel supply cylinder.
5. Turn on the burner control knobs for a moment to release the pressure in the
hose, then turn the control knobs back off.
6. Wash off soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.
NOTE: If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply call the dealer you
purchased the appliance from.
If necessary, replace the faulty part with a manufacture recommended
replacement part. When leak testing this appliance, make sure to test and
tighten all loose connections. A slight leak in the system can result in a
low flame, or a hazardous condition.
Check all gas supply fittings before each use and each time the gas supply
cylinder is connected to the regulator.
Leak test any time a part of the gas system is replaced. Perform a leak test at
least once a year whether or not the L.P. gas supply cylinder has been
disconnected.
