INSTALLATION
Leak Testing
IMPORTANT!
Gas leak testing must be carried out by a qualified technician.
Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the
gas supply shut-off valve. Spray all the fittings, bubbles indicate leaks.
There are two levels of testing for leaks:
Gas supply connection points that are accessible with the grill installed can be leak tested by the user.
Connections that are internal to the grill and require disassembly should only be leak-tested by a
licenced gas fitter. Leak testing instructions for the user are in section ‘Care and maintenance’.
General
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a
complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site by a qualified gas fitter due
to possible mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit.
Check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.
Before testing
Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame.
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle,
brush, or rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For LPG units, check with a full cylinder. The valve
panel must be removed to check the valves and fittings. Remove the knobs and the safety valve
knob, then remove the two screws which fasten the valve panel to the unit (you will need a Philips
screw driver for this). Pull the valve panel outward and unplug the wires from the ignition module
and the back of the ignition button. In the back of the unit remove the screws which hold the
service panel in place. Remove the service panel.
To te s t
Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position. Turn the gas supply “ON”. Check all
connections from the supply line, or LPG cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe assembly.
Apply the soap solution around the connection, valve, tubing and end of the manifold. Soap bubbles
will appear where a leak is present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten
any leaking connections, turn gas on, and recheck. Check all the gas connections at the base of the
control valves where they screw into the manifold pipe.
To check rotisserie burner and safety valve, the burner must be lit then leak test the connections
located behind the service panel. If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your
local gas utility, or the dealer you purchased the appliance from. Only those parts recommended by
the manufacturer should be used on the grill. Substitution can void the warranty.
