WARNING
If you smell gas:
•
Shut off gas supply to the gas grill.
•
Turn the Control Knobs to OFF position.
•
Extinguish
any open flame such as candle,
cigarette
lighter, etc., that could cause gas
to ignite.
•
Open the Grill Lid.
•
Get away from the LP gas tank.
•
Do not try to fix the problem
yourself.
•
If odor continues or you have a fire you
cannot extinguish, call your fire department.
Do not call near the LP gas tank. Your tele-
phone is an electrical device and could
create
a spark resulting in fire and/or explosion.
NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the
regulator and hose assembly can create a
humming
noise. A low volume of noise is
normal and will not interfere with operation of
the grill. If humming
noise is loud and exces-
sive you may need to purge air from the gas
line or reset the regulator excess gas flow
device. This purging procedure should be done
every time a new LP gas tank is connected
to your grill. For help call the Grill Information
Center.
Checking
For LP Gas Leaks
Never test for leaks with a flame. Prior to first
use, at the beginning of each season, or every
time your LP gas tank is changed, you must
check for gas leaks. Follow these four steps:
1.Make a soap solution by mixing one part liquid
detergent and one part water.
2.Turn the grill Control Knobs to the full OFF
position,
then turn the gas ON at source.
3. Apply the soap solution to all gas connections.
If bubbles appear in the solution the connec-
tions are not properly sealed. Check each
fitting and tighten or repair as necessary.
4. If you have a gas leak you cannot repair, turn
off gas at the source, disconnect
fuel line from
your grill and call 1-800-4-MY-HOME®or
your
gas supplier for repair assistance.
