As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test your appliance outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never
smoke or permit sources of ignition in the area while doing a leak test. Do not use a flame, such as a lighted
match to test for leaks. Use a solution of soapy water.
Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by mixing in a spray bottle one part liquid soap to one part
water.
Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF position
.
Turn on the gas
o
On Natural Gas systems, turn the main feed valve to the appliance.
o
On LP systems, turn the cylinder valve knob counter clockwise one turn to open.
Apply the leak-testing solution by spraying it on joints of the gas delivery system.
Blowing bubbles in the soap solution indicates that a leak is present.
Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint resealing with thread sealant or Teflon tape, removing sealant or
tape in the event of a flared connection or by replacing the faulty part with a replacement part
recommended by the manufacturer. Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it is damaged. The
cylinder must be discarded to a proper LP tank location and then replaced.
Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position.
If you are unable to stop a leak turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position, shut off the gas
supply to the appliance and release pressure in the hose and manifold by pushing in and turning any of
the control valves one quarter turn counter-clockwise.
On LP systems, remove the cylinder from the appliance.
Call an authorized gas appliance service technician or an LP gas dealer.
Do not use the appliance until the leak is corrected.
