LEAK TESTING:
GENERAL:
Although all gas connections on your ARTISAN™ appliance are leak tested at the factory prior to
shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible
mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit.
Periodically check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.
BEFORE TESTING:
•
Make sure that all packing material is removed from the appliance.
•
Do not smoke while leak testing.
•
Never leak test with an open flame.
•
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water for leak testing purposes.
•
Apply the solution to the gas fittings by using a spray bottle, or brush.
•
For LP units, always check with a full cylinder.
TO TEST:
•
Make sure the control valve is in the “OFF” position.
•
Apply the soap solution described above to all fittings.
•
Turn the gas supply on.
•
Check all connections from the supply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe
assembly.
•
Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
•
If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn the gas
supply back on, and recheck.
•
If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call the dealer where you purchased
your appliance.
•
Do not use the appliance until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
•
Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the appliance.
•
Substitution can void the appliance’s warranty.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
ALWAYS CHECK FOR LEAKS AFTER EVERY LP TANK CHANGE.
If a leak is present, or if the connection hose shows signs of wear, these conditions must be corrected
prior to using your appliance.
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. It is handy to keep a spray bottle of soapy water
near the shut-off valve of the gas supply line. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Ensure that the control knob is in the “OFF” position, then turn on the gas supply. Always keep your
face and body as far away from the burner as possible when lighting. Depress the igniter button, then
immediately push and turn the burner control knob counter-clockwise to the “HI” position and wait for the
burner to light.
If the burner does not light within 4 seconds, turn the control knob to
the “OFF” position, then wait 5 minutes to allow any accumulated gas
to dissipate before trying again. If the burner will not light after several
attempts, then it can be lit with a match.
WARNING
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT
THE BURNER IF THE ODOR
OF GAS IS PRESENT.
