3.
Spray some solution on all connections and hoses. (As the fig. shown on right).

If bubbles appear on the hose, contact the customer service center and get a
replacement.

If bubbles appear at a connection point, disconnect and reconnect, making sure the
connection is secure.

Lighting Your Grill
Danger: Failure to open lid while igniting the barbecue's burners or not waiting 5 minutes to allow gas to clear if the
barbecue does not light ,may result in an explosion, which could cause serious bodily injury or death.

possible bodily injury.
Main Burner
