USE AND CARE
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Make 2-3 ounces of leak-solution by mixing liquid dishwashing soap with water.
2. Be certain all control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
3. Brush small amounts of the solution on all the fittings and turn the gas on.
4. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Proceed to next steps.
5. Turn the gas off and tighten all connections.
6. If no bubbles appear, there are no leaks. If bubbles do appear, turn the gas valve to OFF. If leak is on the
House Supply side, contact a gas plumber, if leak is on the Quick Disconnect and hose side, please contact
our customer care team service.
7. Go back to Step 1 to retest the fittings. If bubbles continue to appear, turn the gas off. Contact customer
service.
Many areas of an outdoor gas grill generate extreme heat. We have taken every precaution to
protect you from the contact areas. However, it is impossible to isolate all high-temperature
areas. Therefore, use good judgment and caution when grilling on this product. We suggest
a covered, protected hand during operation of grill. Do not move your grill when it is in
operation or hot to the touch. Wait until your unit is turned off and properly cooled down
before moving it. Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury.

Possible leak areas
• IMPORTANT: When connecting or replacing gas pipe or fittings, all joints must be sealed with
approved leak-proof sealing compound or plumber’s tape. After making connections, check all
joints for leaks using a soapy water solution and a brush.
