Leak Testing

DANGER To prevent fire or explosion hazard:

· Do not smoke while performing a leak test.

· Do not permit any sources of ignition in the area when testing for leaks.

· Perform leak tests outdoors only.

· Never perform a leak test near a fire or

lame.

How to Check the Fuel Supply System for Gas Leaks

1. Mix a solution of equal parts mild

detergent or liquid soap and water.

2. Turn off the burner control knobs.

3. Turn the top knob of the fuel-supply

cylinder counterclockwise one rotation to open.

4. Apply the soap solution to all connections

of fuel-supply assembly.

Perform a leak test each time the gas supply cylinder is connected to the regulator. Leak test any time a part of the gas system is replaced. Perform a leak test at least once each year whether the L.P. gas supply cylinder has been disconnected or not.

Have a dealer check the cylinder for deterioration after 10 years, according to DOT regulations. Immediately replace cylinder if any is found.

IMPORTANT! Inspect the gas supply hose regularly. If there are cuts, excessive abrasion or wear, replace the hose prior to operating the appliance.

Use only the hose replacement specified in the parts list for your grill.

If no soap bubbles appear, the grill is fine

for use.

If bubbles form at the connections, there is a leak. In case of a leak, try tightening the joint. If necessary, replace the faulty part with a replacement part recommended by the manufacturer.

5. Turn off the knob on fuel-supply cylinder.

6. Turn on the burner control knobs for a moment to release pressure in hose, then turn the control knobs back off.

7. Wash off soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.

WARNING: Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve. If it becomes damaged, the cylinder must be replaced.

If you are unable to stop a leak, shut off the gas supply at the cylinder valve. Remove the cylinder from the grill. Call a gas appliance serviceman or L.P. gas dealer. Do not use appliance until the leak is fixed.

Lighting Instructions

IGNITER LIGHTING SYSTEM

The Igniter System consists of an igniter unit, a gas-collector box, one ceramic electrode, and lead wires. Gas is collected in the metal collector box located at the burner. When the igniter knob is turned, an electric spark is created at the ceramic electrode. The gas is then ignited by the spark.

To test: Watch the electrode tip inside the gas collector while activating the igniter. To avoid a possible shock, do not touch the burner or metal parts on igniter system while performing igniter test. A visible spark should jump from the electrode. The spark gap is set when the electrode is installed.

If there isn't a spark, check the lead wires and connections. The igniter wires should be kept away from the grill bottom. Also check that the ceramic electrode in the collector box is not broken.

Sometimes dirt and rust at and around the electrode can prevent an igniter spark. Clean them with a degreaser or warm soapy water, and dry. Remove rust from electrode tip and metal surfaces by lightly sanding with an emery cloth or fine-grain sandpaper.

CAUTION: Do not stand with head or arms

over the grill.

STEP 5. To light using the igniter: Push in and turn the right burner-control knob counter-clockwise to the high setting.

STEP 6. Immediately turn the igniter knob clockwise until you hear it click. Repeat 4 to 5 times if necessary.

The burner should light.

STEP 7. If the burner fails to light properly, turn the burner control knob off. Also turn off the L.P. cylinder knob. Wait five minutes before attempting to light the burner again. This will allow time for released gas to disperse.

HINT: If the burner does not light after trying again, turn off burner-control knob, the L.P. cylinder knob and try match lighting the grill once the gas has cleared.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

(Read all the steps before beginning.)

STEP 1. Check the burner venturi tubes for blockage from an insect nest (see, “CLEANING THE BURNER VENTURI TUBES”).

STEP 2. Ensure that both of the burnercontrol knobs are in the OFF position.

STEP 3.

WARNING: Attempting to light the grill with the lid down could cause an explosion.

STEP 4. Go behind the grill and turn on the fuel supply valve. One counter-clockwise turn is generally enough to open the valve.

OPEN GRILL LID

Operating the Control Knobs

Gas control knobs PRESS IN and rotate counterclockwise. TURN THE IGNITER KNOB CLOCKWISE UNTIL IT CLICKS. Do NOT turn the igniter knob counter-clockwise because it will strip the knob and become unuseable.

Lighting Instructions

MATCH LIGHTING

IMPORTANT: The match lighting hole is

found under the front right corner of the grill bottom. When match lighting the grill, use the gas control knob on your RIGHT-HAND side (closest to the match lighting hole).

Repeat steps 1 to 4 of “Igniter Lighting Instructions.”

STEP 5. To match light: push down and turn the RIGHT burner control knob counterclockwise to the high setting.

STEP 6.

IMMEDIATELY strike a long wooden match and position the burning match through match lighting hole in the grill bottom. Extend the flame near a burner port in the bottom edge of the burner. The burner should light.

To light the other side of the burner, press in and turn the opposite control knob. The flame will track around the burner. Allow grill to preheat with the grill lid closed for five to ten minutes before cooking.

CAUTION: Do not touch any hot grill parts. The outside of the grill bottom becomes very hot during use. It may be necessary to use protective gloves.

HOW TO SHUT OFF THE GRILL

STEP 1. Turn the burner-control knob(s) off. The burner flame will go out.

STEP 2. Turn off the top L.P. cylinder valve by turning the knob in a clockwise direction until it stops.

IMPORTANT: Always have the gas shut off at the L.P. cylinder valve when the grill is not in use. The L.P. cylinder has a leak detection feature which will restrict the amount of gas flow to the burner if the tank shut-off valve has not been turned off prior to the next use.

Locating the Match Lighting Hole

The match lighting hole is located beneath the

lower right corner of the grill bottom casting.

Long detachable power-supply cords or extension cords can also be used with care. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3 wire cord. Use outdoor extension cords with a surface marked with sux letters “W-A” and with a tag stating “Suitable for Use with Outdoor Appliances.”

Keep the connection to an extension cord away from water and othe ground. Arrange the cord so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled or tripped over.

Do not clean any electrical product with a water spray or the like. Store electrical products indoors out of reach of children when not in use.
