Leak Testing - ProFire PERF30R Owner's Manual

CHECK ALL GAS SUPPLY FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE EACH USE.
Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the shut-off valve of the gas supply valve. Spray
all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks. Although all gas connections on the ProFire grill
are leak 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.
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LEAK TESTING. EXTINGUISH ALL OPEN FLAMES.
NEVER LEAK TEST WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a
spray bottle, brush, or rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For L.P. units, check with a
full cylinder. The valve panel must be removed to check the valves and fittings. Remove
the knobs. Then remove the screws, which fasten the valve panel to the unit. Pull the
valve panel outward and unplug the wires from the back of the igniter. If your grill has the
optional rear broiler, the fitting can be checked from behind the grill by removing the
shield attached to the back of the unit. The access hole will be exposed for leak testing.
TO TEST
Make sure all control valves are in the "OFF" position. Turn the gas supply "ON". Check
all connections from the supply line, or L.P. cylinder up to and including the manifold
pipe assembly. Apply the soap solution around all connections, valves, and tubing. Soap
bubbles will appear where there is a leak present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off
gas supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn gas on, and recheck. If you cannot stop the
leak, have a certified gas technician repair the leak.
IF YOU CANNOT STOP A GAS LEAK TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY AND
CALL YOUR LOCAL GAS UTILITY, OR THE DEALER YOU PURCHASED THE
APPLIANCE FROM.
Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the Pro-
Fire Gas Grill. Substitutions will void the warranty.
Do not use the ProFire Gas Grill until all connections have been checked and do
not leak.
