A leak test is used to determine the integrity of a seal. Before using your gas griddle, perform a leak test on the connection
between the regulator and the gas cylinder to reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire or explosion. A leak
test should be performed a minimum of once a season, as well as:
• before lighting your griddle for the first time,
• every time the gas cylinder has been changed,
• after travel, especially over rough or bumpy roads,
• after a prolonged period of storage or non-use.
HOW TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST
Supplies Required:
• Bowl ( empty, clean )
• Paint Brush ( clean )
• Dish Washing Liquid
• Water
Procedure:
1.
Position the griddle in a well-ventilated area. Ensure the griddle is cool to the touch, and not in use. Verify that the regulator
value is turned to the OFF position and that the gas cylinder is tightened securely to the regulator.
IMPORTANT: Ensure there is no open flame or smokers nearby.
2. Mix a solution of one part of water with one part of dish washing liquid in a bowl. The solution will make bubble, as it
will be concentrated.
3. Use a paint brush to apply the solution onto the seal between the regulator and the gas cylinder. Visually inspect for
streams of bubbles coming from a defect or break in the seal.
NOTE: If a leak appears, repeat gas cylinder installation procedure, but do not over-tighten. Hand-tighten only.
Repeat leak test after re-installation to ensure seal is secure.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the gas griddle if you detect a gas leak that cannot be corrected by using the leak test
procedure. Contact your local Fire Department or Customer Care for alternative measures of testing to ensure
proper precaution.
Before using your griddle for the first time with food, it is important to complete a burn-off. Start the griddle and operate for
a minimum of 15 minutes on HIGH to burn-off the unit. This will "heat clean" the internal components, dissipate odors, and rid
it of any foreign matter.
1.
Verify that all control knobs are turned to the "O" OFF position.
2. Connect LP gas cylinder as per instructions. Turn LP gas tank valve to OPEN.
3. Note the indicator marker on the control knob. Push and hold down the control knob on the griddle and turn 90 degrees
(or 1/4) counter-clockwise SLOWLY (2 to 3 seconds) to
from the igniter, and look for flame to ensure the burner is lit. If it does not, repeat up to three times.
4. If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the control knob to "O" OFF, wait 5 minutes and repeat lighting procedure. If
the above points do not work, follow Manual Lighting Procedure instructions .
5. After the burner has caught fire, you are ready to enjoy your griddle at your desired temperature!
