2. a. Use a commercial leak detector solution or a mixture of 50% liquid soap and 50% water. Repair all leaks before using the grill. Never use matches or lighters to check for leaks!
3. d. As with all such equipment, make sure your barbecue is clean, in good repair and properly adjusted. If the fittings, flex hose or burners are worn or rusted, replace them. Replace any missing or worn "O" rings. Use a flexible brush (made for the purpose) to clean the tubes between the gas valve and the burner.
4. c. With the lid open, turn the cylinder service valve on. Next, turn on the burner. Only then, use the igniter switch.
5. b. Store cylinders outdoors away from sources of ignition, in a secure, well-ventilated area, always in an upright, vertical position. Never bring cylinders indoors or into an enclosed space, or keep them where they could be exposed to high temperatures.
