GAS LEAK WARNINGS
▪
Finding and/or fixing a gas leak is NOT a “DO-IT-YOURSELF” procedure – ONLY USE A PROFESSIONAL.
▪
NEVER USE THE GRILL WITHOUT FIRST LEAK TESTING THE GAS CONNECTIONS INCLUDING ALL OF THE
VALVES, FITTINGS, LINES ETC. (ALL GAS CONNECTIONS SHOULD BE CHECKED)
▪
WARNING: DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. USE OF AN OPEN FLAME COULD RESULT IN
A FIRE, EXPLOSION AND BODILY HARM.
▪
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE PERFORMING THE LEAK TEST. Any open flame will ignite the gas.
▪
To prevent fire or explosion hazard, Perform leak test outdoors only.
▪
Check to ensure that flexible hoses do not have any cuts and wear that may affect the safety before each use. Only
the factory supplied hose and regulator must be used. Use only replacement regulator and hose assemblies specified
by BLAZE OUTDOOR PRODUCTS.
Checking for Gas Leaks
Perform a leak test before each use. 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 appliance 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.
▪
Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by mixing in a spray bottle one-part liquid soap to one part
water.
▪
Make sure all the control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
▪
Turn on the gas.
o
On Natural Gas systems, turn the main feed valve to the appliance.
o
On LP systems, turn the cylinder valve knob counter clockwise one turn to open.
▪
Apply the leak-testing solution by spraying it on joints of the gas delivery system. This includes all valves,
pipe connections, joints, lines and every point from the gas source to the burners.
▪
Blowing bubbles in the soap solution and/or there is a faint gas smell (Typically Gas has an Egg Smell)
indicates that a leak is present. Do not attempt to ignite the grill.
▪
Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position.
▪
Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint and/or resealing with thread sealant or Teflon tape, removing sealant or
tape in the event of a flared connection or by replacing the faulty part with a replacement part recommended by
the manufacturer. Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it is damaged. The cylinder must be discarded to
a proper LP tank location and then replaced.
▪
If you are unable to stop a leak turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position, shut off the gas supply to
