Checking For Leaks; Lighting Your Grill - Bond GSF3016 Owner's Manual

6. Always confirm that all burner control knobs are in the OFF position before disconnecting the gas supply.
7. Before disconnection, be sure that the tank valve is in OFF position.
8. Always disconnect the gas supply regulators as followings:
Loosen the connection collar by turning it anti-clockwise with one hand while holding the regulator with the other hand and
take the nipple of the valve out of the tank valve. (See diagram to right)
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air and ventilation air to the grill.
Keep ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
9. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Install only the type of dust cap on cylinder valve
outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
DANGER:
To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:
1. Always perform the "leak test" before lighting the grill and each time the cylinder is connected for use.
2. Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.
3. Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
4. Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks.
5. Do not use grill until all leaks have been stopped. If you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the propane supply, call for gas
appliance service or your local propane gas supplier.
1. Make 2-3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water.
2. Make sure control knobs are in the "OFF" position.
3. Spray some solution on the tank valve up to the regulator connection.
(See diagram to right.)
4. Inspect the solution at the connections for bubbles. If no bubbles appear, the connection
is secure.
5. If bubbles appear, you have a leak. Go to step 6.
6. Disconnect the regulator from the tank and reconnect. Make sure the connection is tight and secured.
7. Retest with solution.
8. If you continue to see bubbles, replace the cylinder.
DANGER:
Failure to open lid while igniting the grill's burners or not waiting five minutes to allow gas to clear if the grill does not light, may
result in an explosion, which could cause serious bodily injury or death.
WARNING:
Never stand with your head directly over the grill when preparing to light the main burners, to prevent possible bodily injury.
Lighting Main Burner
1. Open lid during lighting.
WARNING:
obstructions of airflow to the gas unit. Spiders and insects can nest and clog the burner/venturi tube at the orifice. A
clogged burner tube can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.
2. Make sure all control knobs are in OFF position.
3. Turn on gas source or tank valve.
4. To ignite, push and turn desired knob slowly about 1/4 turn counter clockwise until a click
is heard. (See diagram to right.)
5. The "click" is the ignitor being activated. If the burner does not light, repeat 2 or 3 times.
6. If ignition does NOT occur in 5 second turn the burner controls to OFF, wait 5 minutes,
and repeat the lighting procedure.
