The grill and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressure in excess of 0.5 psi (3.5
kPa).

Connection

Slide the grill forward to gain access to the regulator and gas connection point in the rear.
Connect a suitable natural gas flex connector to the grill regulator.
Check the grill controls to ensure all control valves are in the full OFF position.
Turn on the main gas supply and check all connections for leaks using soapy water as
described in the leak testing procedure section.
Warning: If you see bubbles in the soapy solution at any of the connections, turn off
the gas supply and tighten the connection. If tightening the connection does not seal
the leak, it may be necessary to replace the flex hose.

Checking for Gas Leaks

Perform a leak test at least once a year whether the gas supply cylinder has been
disconnected or not. In addition, whenever the gas cylinder is connected to the regulator or
whenever any part of the gas system is disconnected or replaced, perform a leak test.
As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test your grill outdoors in a well-ventilated
area. Never smoke or permit sources of ignition in the area while doing a leak test. Do not
use a flame, such as a lighted match to test for leaks. Use a solution of soapy water.
Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by mixing in a spray bottle one part liquid soap
to one part water.
Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF position .
