LEAK TESTING
A leak test is used to determine the integrity of a seal. Before using
your gas griddle, perform a leak test on the connection between the grill
manifold, regulator and the gas cylinder to reduce the risk of serious bodily
harm or death from fire or explosion.
WHEN TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST:
• After assembling your griddle and before lighting for the first time,
even if purchased fully assembled.
• Every time LP gas cylinder is refilled, exchanged or if any of the gas
components are disconnected or replaced.
• At least once per year or if your griddle has not been used for more
than 60 days.
Although the gas connections on the griddle are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete leak test must be
performed at the installation site. Before each use, check all gas connections for leaks using the procedures
listed below:
1. Create a mixture of 50% water and 50% liquid dishwashing soap.
2. Turn all control knobs to OFF/“0”.
3. Ensure that the regulator is securely connected to LP cylinder.
4. Spray a water/soap solution on all connections.
5. Open LP cylinder valve by turning hand wheel counter-clockwise.
• If you hear a rushing sound, turn gas o immediately. There is a leak at the connection. Correct before proceeding.
• If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close LP cylinder valve immediately and re-tighten connections.
If leaks cannot be stopped, do not try to repair. Call for replacement parts. Order new parts by providing the
serial number, model number, name and part number of items required (see parts list) to a MASTER CHEF

6. Always close LP cylinder valve after performing leak test by turning hand wheel clockwise.
ATTENTION:
A leak test must be repeated each time the LP cylinder is exchanged or refilled.
ATTENTION
If there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, the hose and regulator must be replaced prior to operation.
