• Leak Test: Perform a leak test outdoors with a solution of 2-3 oz. of liquid dishwashing detergent and three parts water. Apply to hose-to-regulator and regulator-to-cylinder connections. If bubbles appear, there is a leak. Tighten connections and retest. If bubbles persist, the hose or cylinder valve may be defective and should be replaced. Always perform a complete leak test after loosening or removing gas connections.
• Troubleshooting Guide: Provides solutions for common issues such as burner not lighting (empty propane cylinder, blockage, control knob off), low burner flame (low gas pressure, cold outdoor temperature, control knob not fully on), carbon build-up, and thick black smoke (dirt/film on burner, blockage).
