CHECKING FOR PROPANE GAS LEAKS
Gas leak checks should ALWAYS be done before lighting the grill. After connecting the
regulator hose to the propane tank, check all connections and ttings on the propane tank
valve, gas hose and regulator for leaks with a water and soap solution.
To prevent re or explosion while testing for a leak:
• ALWAYS perform a leak test PRIOR to lighting the grill.
• DO NOT smoke while testing for leaks.
• ALWAYS perform leak tests outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
• DO NOT use any source of ame while testing for leaks.
• DO NOT use the grill until all leaks are corrected.
• If you are unable to correct a leak, disconnect the LP gas supply and call a gas appliance
service dealer.
PERFORMING LEAK TESTS
Propane is a naturally odorless gas. A chemical odorant, ethyl mercaptan (not so odorless),
is combined with the propane to help users detect leaks. If you smell rotten eggs, you likely
have a leak. Turn o the propane supply and perform a leak test.
• Leak tests indicate if the connections from the propane tank to the grill are secure. To
perform a leak test you’ll need the following:
• a small spray bottle
• 1 part liquid dish soap to 3 parts water, enough solution for approximately 2–3 ounces
(70–90 ml). Mix well.
• Ensure all grill temperature control knobs are set to the OFF position (straight up).
• Open the propane tank cylinder valve by turning the handwheel counterclockwise to a
full stop.
• Spray the leak-test solution on all the gas-carrying connections and ttings, covering
them well. The presence of bubbles anywhere along the hose and connections indicates
a gas leak. If leaks are detected, or you smell or hear gas, shut o the gas supply valve
immediately. Then, repair or replace the defective part(s). DO NOT use the grill until all
leaks are corrected. Keep this solution on hand for future tests.
