CHECK FOR LEAKS

When all connections have been made, make
sure all cooktop controls are in the OFF position
and turn on the main gas supply valve. Use a
liquid leak detector at all joints and connections
to check for leaks in the system.

When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig 
to pressure test the gas supply system of the
residence, disconnect the cooktop and individual
shut-off valve from the gas supply piping. When
using test pressures of 1/2 psig or less to test the
gas supply system, simply isolate the cooktop from
the gas supply system by closing the individual
shut-off valve.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

(B) Yellow tips on
outer cones—

With LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer 
cones is normal.
