IF YOU SMELL GAS:
Shut off all burners and pilots on all appliances. Shut off and disconnect all gas
supply valves and hoses. Do not operate the appliance(s) until the problem is repaired. If the problem
persists, immediately consult your gas installer. Keep the area free of any and all sources of ignition.
Instructions to be used in the event that you smell gas, should be posted in a prominent location. This
information can be obtained from your local gas supplier.
WARNING! – NATURAL HAZARD – SPIDERS Spiders and other insects are attracted to 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 impossible to
light. Ultimately, it may cause the gas to burn outside of the venturis which can seriously damage
your grill. If this happens, immediately shut-off the propane at the cylinder or for natural gas at the
main shut-off valve. To prevent and or correct the occurrence, periodically check the venturis for
obstructions.
A leak test should be performed at least once a year (follow the procedure below). Do not operate your
side burner if there is evidence of a gas leak. The equipment must be repaired before you can resume
use. Always inspect the hoses before each use for evidence of cracks or other damage. Repair / replace
damaged hoses or other components before use.
LEAK TESTING
Leak testing must be performed:
1.
Before lighting your side-burner for the first time.
2.
Every time the propane cylinder is refilled or any gas component is changed.
3.
At least once per year.
Perform the leak test outdoors in a well ventilated area, away from any open flame, heat or ignition
source.
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.
