OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CHECKING FOR LEAKS

Always perform the leak test as described before lighting this appliance or each time the cylinder

is connected for use.

Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.

Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.

Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks.

Do not use this appliance until any and all leaks are corrected. If you are unable to stop a leak,

disconnect the propane supply. Call a gas appliance service shop or your local propane gas

supplier.

1. Make 2 - 3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing detergent and three parts

water.

2. Apply several drops of solution where the cylinder attaches to the regulator and inspect the

solution at the connection looking for bubbles. If NO bubbles appear, the connection is secure. If

bubbles appear, the connection has a leak. Disconnect the regulator and reconnect, then

perform another leak check. If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, the cylinder

valve is defective and should be returned to the cylinder’s supplier.

3. Apply several drops of solution where gas valve attaches to the bellows, where the gas valve

attaches to hose, and where the inlet tube attaches to the bellows. If NO bubbles appear, the

connections are secure. If bubbles appear, the connection has a leak. Disconnect and

reconnect, then perform another leak check. If you continue to see bubbles after several

attempts, the part is defective and needs to be replaced.
