With the gas connected, turn the gas on and perform the following test to
check for gas leaks.
Using soapy water, brush or spray over the joint between the gas cylinder

appear, gas is leaking. The fitting may need to be tightened, or this may be
a result of faulty equipment.

satisfactory operation before handing over to the customer.
