EG300 Broilchef LP Gas Grill
Owner’s Manual 16
To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:
1. Always perform the “leak test“ before lighting the grill and each time the cylinder is connected for use.
2. Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.
3. Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
4. Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks.
5. Do not use grill until all leaks have been stopped. If you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the propane supply, call for gas
appliance service or your local propane gas supplier.
Checking
for
Leaks
1.
Make 2-3 oz. of leak solution by
mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap
with three
parts
water.
2.
Make sure control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
3.
Spray some solution on the tank valve up to the regulator connection. (See diagram to right.)
4.
Inspect the solution at the
connections for bubbles. If no bubbles appear, the connection is secure.
5.
If bubbles appear,
you
have a leak. Go to step 6.
6.
Disconnect the regulator from
the
tank and reconnect.
Make sure the connection is tight and secured.
7.
Retest
with solution.
8.
If
you continue to see bubbles, replace the cylinder.
Lighting Your Grill
DANGER:
Failure to open lid while igniting the grill’s burners or not waiting five minutes to allow gas to clear if the grill does not light, may
result in an explosion, which could cause serious bodily injury or death.
WARNING:
Never stand with your head directly over the grill when preparing to light the main burners, to prevent possible bodily injury.
Lighting Main Burner
1. Open lid
during lighting.
WARNING:
Attempting to light the burner
with the lid closed
may cause an
explosion. Make
sure there are no obstructions of airflow to the gas unit. Spiders and
insects can nest and clog the burner/venturi tube at the
orifice. A clogged burner tube
can lead to
a fire beneath the appliance.
2.
Make sure all control knobs are in OFF position.
3.
Turn on gas source or tank valve.
4. Ignite only the burner
you
wish to use. Push and t
urn
the knob to “HIGH” then press
the igniter button
2 or 3 seconds
immediately. The burner should light
.

If ignition does NOT occur, turn the knob to OFF, wait 5 minutes and repeat
the lighting procedure.

t
urn
the knob to “HIGH”.
If ignition does NOT occur in
5 seconds, turn the burner to OFF, wait 5 minutes and repeat the lighting procedure.

Using the Lighting Stick to Light the
Main Burners
1.
Insert a match into
the end of lighting stick. Light the match.

the cooking grid and place the flame next to
the burner ports found along the sides of the desired burner (See diagram to right.)

position. The burner should light immediately.
If more than
one burner
