LEAK TESTING VENTURI TUBE
All factory-made connections have been thoroughly tested
for gas leaks. However, shipping and handling may have
loosened a gas fitting.
AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION:
TEST ALL FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE USING
YOUR GAS SMOKER.
TEST THE CYLINDER VALVE FOR LEAKS EACH
TIME THE CYLINDER IS FILLED.
TEST FOR LEAKS EVERY TIME YOU CONNECT A
GAS FITTING.
DO NOT SMOKE!
NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH A LIGHTED MATCH
OR OPEN FLAME.
TEST FOR LEAKS OUTDOORS.
TO TEST FOR LEAKS:
1. Extinguish any open flame or cigarettes in the area.
2. Be sure that cylinder valve and appliance valves are
"off".
3. Connect LP gas cylinder. See "Hose and Regulator".
4. Prepare a soap solution of one part water, one part
liquid detergent.
5. With a full gas cylinder, open cylinder slowly.
6. Brush the soap solution on each connection.
7. A leak is identified by a flow of bubbles from the area of
the leak.
8. If a leak is detected, close the gas cylinder "shut-off"
valve, tighten the connection and retest (Step 5).
9. If the leak persists, contact your smoker dealer for
assistance. Do not attempt to operate appliance if a
leak is present.
• KEEP VENTURI TUBE CLEAN.
• Blockages caused by spiders insects and nests
can cause a flashback fire.
Although the smoker might still light, the backed up gas
might also ignite and cause a fire around the venturi tube
at the control panel.
