LEAK TESTING
Leak testing must be performed:
i) before lighting your charbroiler for the first time.
ii) every time the propane cylinder is refilled, or any gas component is changed, or
iii) at least once per year.
Perform the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area, away from any open flame, heat
or ignition sources. DO NOT SMOKE! Use only a 50/50 mixture of liquid soap and
water for leak testing. Do not use a match or open flame.
THE FOLLOWING MUST BE CHECKED:
• Cylinder valve including threads into tank.
• All cylinder welds.
• Regulator fitting(s) and cylinder connection.
• All hose connections.
• All valve connections.
1) Open gas supply valve to the charbroiler.
2) Brush soap solution on all connections and components listed above.
3) Observe each place for growing bubbles, which indicate a leak is present.
4) Tighten any leaking connection until a repeat test shows no evidence of leakage (shut
off gas supply while correcting the leaks).
DO NOT USE THE CHARBROILER IF ANY LEAKS CANNOT BE STOPPED. TURN
OFF THE GAS SUPPLY VALVE, REMOVE ANY GAS CYLINDER, AND CALL A
QUALIFIED GAS APPLIANCE SERVICE PERSON FOR PROPER REPAIRS.
WARNING! - NATURAL HAZARD - SPIDERS Spiders and other insects are
attracted by the smell of gas and could make webs or nests in the burners. This
could partially or completely block the flow of gas through the venturis and is
indicated by a smoky, yellow flame, and/or a burner that is difficult or impossible to
light. Ultimately, it may cause the gas to burn outside the venturis, which can
seriously damage your grill. If this happens: immediately shut off the propane at the
cylinder, or natural gas at the main shut-off valve. To prevent and/or correct this
occurrence, periodically check the venturis for obstructions by inserting a pipe
cleaner or flexible wire through the air inlet of the burner, and twisting it (see fig. 2,
pg.6). Ensure venturi tubes are properly “seated” over the orifices.
