20INSTALLATIONGENERAL:Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gastightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment, or excessivepressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediatelycheck 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 asoap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or rag toapply the solution to the fittings. For LP units, check with a full cylinder. The valve panel must be removed tocheck the valves and fittings. Remove the knobs and the safety valve knob, then remove the 2 screws whichfasten the valve panel to the unit (you will need a Philips screw driver for this). Pull the valve panel outward andunplug the wires from the ignition module and the back of the ignition button. In the back of the unit, removethe screws which hold the service panel in place. Remove the service panel.To Test:Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position. Turn the gas supply “ON”. Check all connections from thesupply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe assembly. Apply the soap solution around theconnection, valve, tubing and end of the manifold. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a leak ispresent, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking connections, turn gas on, and recheck. Check allthe 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 behindthe service panel. If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your local gas utility, or thedealer you purchased the appliance from. Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be usedon the grill. Substitution can void the warranty.WARNING!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 supplyshut-off valve. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks.
