SAFETY CHECKS –Leak Test
WARNING: Always take a leak test before lighting the grill to prevent a possible fire or explosion.
Never store a spare propane cylinder in the vicinity of this Grill, or in the vicinity of any other potential
heat source. Never attempt to attach this grill to the self-contained LP gas system. Do not use grill until
leak testing.
Before Testing
DO NOT smoke while leak
testing. Extinguish all open
flames. Never leak test
with an open flame or risk
of serious harm to self or
others.
Mix Solution
Prepare a leak testing
solution of soapy water by
mixing in a spray bottle one
part liquid soap to one part
water. You can also use
mild detergent or liquid
soap and water.
Leak Testing Procedure
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.
