GAS LEAK TESTING
It is important that you leak test the BBQ before first use and every time the gas
cylinder is refilled and reconnected to the BBQ.
When to Test:
The BBQ gas bottle, regulator & hose assembly should be checked for leaks, using the soapy
water leak test, every time you reconnect your regulator to the BBQ gas bottle. You should also
test after any long period of non-use, such as at the beginning of BBQ season.
What to use:
You will need a soapy water solution to check for any leaks. Mixing liquid hand soap with water
will work fine (do not use any other household cleaning products).
To complete a Leak Test:
• Make sure all the control knobs are OFF.
• In a small container, mix up a solution of water and detergent/soap.
Mix the solution well (about the same concentration as washing up water).
• Turn the cylinder ON by rotating the knob to the open position.
• Using a brush or spray bottle apply the soap solution to the gas line and each join in the gas
line including:
• The gas connection at the inlet of the BBQ
• The gas hose
• The gas connection at the gas cylinder
• If bubbles appear, there is a gas leak.
• If the leak is at the connection, re-tighten and re-seal.
• If the leak is anywhere else or you cannot resolve the leak by tightening the connection
DO NOT PROCEED.
• Replace gas hose and regulator.
• Replacement hose and regulators can be purchased from your local BBQ retail specialist
