WARNING: A leak test must be performed annually or if a part of the gas system is replaced.
LEAK TESTING OPERATION
WARNING: Never use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be certain no sparks or open flames are in the area
while you check for leaks. Sparks or open flames will result in a fire or explosion, damage to property, serious
bodily injury, or death.
WARNING: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
LEAK TESTING: This must be done before initial use, annually, and whenever any gas components are replaced or
serviced. Do not smoke while performing this test, and remove all sources of ignition. See leak testing diagram for areas
to check. Turn all burner controls to the off position. Turn gas supply valve on. Brush a half-and-half solution of liquid soap
and water onto all joints and connections of the regulator, hose, manifolds and valves. Bubbles will indicate a gas leak.
Either tighten the loose joint or have the part replaced with one recommended by your dealer and have the appliance
inspected by a certified gas installer.
If the leak cannot be stopped, immediately shut off the gas supply, disconnect it, and have the appliance inspected by a
certified gas installer or dealer. Do not use the appliance until the leaks have been corrected.
