Version 1.6
To prevent fire or explosion hazard, Perform leak test outdoors only.
Check toensure that flexiblehoses do not have any cuts and wear that may affect the safety before
each use. Only the factory supplied hose and regulator must be used.Use only replacement regulator
and hose assemblies specified by BLAZE OUTDOOR PRODUCTS.
Checking for Gas Leaks
Perform a leak test before each use. In addition, whenever the gas cylinder is connected to the regulator or
whenever any part of the gas system is
disconnected or replaced, perform a leak test.
As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test your appliance outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never
smokeor permit sources of ignition in the area while doing a leak test. Do not use a flame, suchas a lighted
match to test for leaks. Use a solution of soapy water.
 Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by mixing in a spray bottle one part liquid soapto one
part
water.
 Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFFposition .
 Turn on the gas
o On Natural Gas systems, turn themain feed valve to theappliance.
o On LP systems,turn the cylinder valve knob counter clockwise one turn toopen.
 Apply the leak-testing solution by sprayingit on joints ofthe gas delivery system. Thisincludesall
valves, pipe connections, joints, linesandevery point from the gassource to the burners.
 Blowing bubbles in the soap solution and/or there is a faint gas smell(Typically Gas has an Egg Smell)
indicates that a leak is present. Do not attempt to ignite the grill.
 Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position.
 Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint and/or resealing with thread sealant or Teflon tape, removing
sealant or
tape in the event of a flared connection or by replacing the faulty part with a replacement part
recommended by the manufacturer. Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it is damaged. The
cylinder must be discarded to a proper LP tank location and then replaced.
 If you are unable to stop a leak turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position,shutoffthegas
supply to the appliance and release pressure in the hose and manifold by pushing in and turning any
of
the control valves one quarter turn counter-clockwise.
 On LP systems, remove the cylinder from the appliance.
 Call an authorized gas appliance service technician or an LP gas dealer.
 Do not use the appliance until the leak is corrected.

Version 1.6
 The below diagram is intended to show what a leaking connection would look like.These two locations
are not the only points to check northe only potential areas for a gas leak to be present.
Leak Testing
 All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks after installation or service along with beforeeach
use. Thisincludesall valves, pipe connections, joints, linesand every point fromthe gas
source to the burners.
All leaks mustbe corrected
immediately. Remember-before exchanging an empty bottle for a new one; make
sure all control valves are in
the “off” position. This can create a low flow of gas through the grill. This would
require the tank to be disconnected from the regulator, and then reconnected to reset the regulator.
Open the valve (shut-off or ‘ON’LP tank). Test for leaks by applying liquidsoap solution toall joints.Bubbles forming
indicate gas leak.
 The following diagram is for informational purposes only. These locations are not the onlypoints to
check nor the only potential areas for a gas leak to be present. Ensure the leak test includesall
valves, pipe connections, joints, linesandevery point from the gassource to the burners.
NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.
