LEAK TEST
The leak test must be carried out in a well-ventilated area, free
from any flames or other sources of ignition.
•
With the cartridges installed
in the stove. Open the ignitor
knobs.
•
Brush the connections (stove
to cartridges) with a solution
of equal parts soap and water
(make sure it’s foamy).
•
A stream of bubbles forming
indicates a gas leak. (See
Fig.13)
•
If bubbles appear, turn the igni-
tion knob OFF, ‘O’, (clockwise)
and release the cartridge lock
levers to the upward position
and remove and isolate the
gas cartridges.
•
Re-install the gas cartridges,
making sure the cartridge slot
is pointing upward and retry
the leak test.
•
If you are unsure or if you
cannot install the cartridges
without a leak occuring place
the butane cartridge outside in
a cool, well-ventilated area and
contact Alva on 086 100 ALVA
(2582).
•
A leak between the stove and
canisters can lead to a fire,
which is very dangerous and
can result in extensive injury or
even death.
