GAS LEAK TESTING

It is important that you leak test the BBQ before first use and every time the gas
cylinder is refilled and reconnected to the BBQ.

To Complete Leak Test

• Make sure all the control knobs are OFF.

• In a small container, mix up a solution of water and detergent/soap.

• Mix the solution well (about the same concentrate as washing up water).

• Turn the cylinder ON by rotating the knob to open position.

• Using a brush or spray bottle apply the soap solution to the gas line and each
join in the gas line including:

- the gas connection at the inlet of the BBQ

- all gas hose connections

- the gas connection at the gas cylinder

• If bubbles appear, there is a gas leak.

• If the leak is at the connection, re-tighten and re-seal.

• If the leak is anywhere else or you cannot resolve the leak by tightening the
connection DO NOT PROCEED.

• Replace gas hose and regulator.

• Replacement hose and regulators can be purchased from your local BBQ
retail specialist.

pressure of 2.75kPa is supplied for connection to
the propane gas cylinder. The pressure regulator
and hose assembly supplied with the barbecue

the gas and check for leaks by brushing a soap
and water solution over all connections.

If you are unable to correct the leak by tightening
the connections, turn off the gas and contact the
supplier immediately.

Always ensure the barbecue is kept away from
flammable materials and the gas cylinder clear of
any heat source.

When changing over from an empty gas cylinder
to a full one make sure this procedure is carried
out in a well ventilated location, preferably
outside, away from people and away from any
sources of ignition; such as naked flames, pilot
flames, electric heaters/equipment.

Gas Cylinder Use & Safety
