INSTALLATION
CHECK THAT ALL GAS CONNECTIONS ARE PROPERLY SEALED WITH A SUITABLE GAS JOINT COMPOUND.
TEST ALL JOINTS WITH A SOAPY WATER SOLUTION BEFORE LIGHTING THE BURNERS.
1. Turn ON the manual gas valve at the inlet side of the gas supply line.
2. Check for gas leaks at the flexible coupling or gas connector fitting using a solution of one part soap and three parts water.
3. Sparingly spray or brush the soapy solution at the gas fittings; active bubbling indicates location of gas leak.
4. If a gas leak is detected turn off the manual gas valve at the inlet side of the gas line. Call your certified service technician.
