LEAK TESTING:
GENERAL:
Although all gas connections on your ALFRESCO™ Gourmet 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 mis-
handling 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.
BEFORE TESTING:
• Make sure that all packing material is removed from the grill.
• Make sure the burner tie-down straps are removed from the unit.
• Do not smoke while leak testing.
• Never leak test with an open flame.
• Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water for leak testing purposes.
• Apply the solution to the gas fittings by using a spray bottle, or brush.
• For LP units, always check with a full cylinder.
TO TEST:
• Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position.
• Apply the soap solution described above to all fittings.
• Turn the gas supply on.
• Check all connections from the supply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe
assembly.
• Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
• If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn the gas sup-
ply back on, and recheck.
• If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your dealer where you purchased
your grill.
• Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
• Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the Grill.
• Substitution can void the grill’s warranty.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY LP TANK CHANGE.
If a leak is present, or if the connection hose shows signs of wear, these conditions must be corrected
prior to using your grill.
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy water
near the shut-off valve of the gas supply line. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks.
CAUTION
CYLINDERS MUST BE STORED OUTDOORS IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA
OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
DISCONNECTED LP CYLINDERS MUST HAVE THREADED VALVE PLUGS TIGHTLY
INSTALLED, AND MUST NOT BE STORED IN A BUILDING, GARAGE OR ANY OTHER
ENCLOSED AREA. THE GAS MUST BE TURNED OFF AT THE SUPPLY CYLINDER
WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT IN USE. IF THE APPLIANCE IS STORED INDOORS, THE
CYLINDER MUST BE DISCONNECTED AND REMOVED FROM THE APPLIANCE.
