CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS

5.1 Why check for gas leaks?
Propane and butane are heavier than air. As a result, they do
not float away when leaking from the appliance. Especially
on windless days, a leak can cause the gas to collect in and
around the appliance. That accumulated gas can then ignite and
explode.
5.2 When check for gas leaks
• Before the first use or before the first use after a long period
of non-use.
Also check for gas leaks if your appliance was assembled
by your dealer.
• Each time you replace a gas component.
• At least once a year, preferably at the beginning of the
season.

5.3 Safety instructions
• Put the appliance outdoors, in a well-ventilated area. Make
sure there are no flames or heat sources near the appliance.
• Never use a lighter or match to check for gas leaks.
• Do not smoke and do not light the burners when checking
for gas leaks.
5.4 Which materials do I need?
To check for gas leaks, you need:
• A testing liquid. You can use a ready-made leak spray or a
mixture of water (50%) and dish-washing soap (50%).
• The leak test tool
5.5 To check for gas leaks
You check for gas leaks by applying a testing liquid to all gas
components and connections. If the bubbles on a particular
component or connection grow, there is gas leak:
To check for gas leaks, proceed as follows:
1. Put the appliance outside.
2. Get your brush and testing liquid (leak spray or water/soap
mixture).
3. Set all control knobs to OFF.
4. Open the gas supply slightly. Turn the valve of the gas
cylinder only once.
5. Suck up some testing liquid and apply it to the area that you
want to check. You have to check:
• The welds of the gas cylinder (A)
• The hose (B)
• The connections between the cylinder and the pressure
regulator and between the pr essure regulator and the
hose (C)
• The connection between the hose and the appliance (D)
