Leak Testing
Although gas connections on the pizza oven are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a
complete test must be performed after installation due to possible mishandling during shipping or
installation.
Periodic checks are also recommended. Immediately check for leaks if you smell gas.
Never use an open flame to look for leaks.
Before Testing: Extinguish all open flames. Do not smoke.
You will need a spray bottle, a brush or a rag. For LP units using a 20-pound cylinder, a full cylinder
should be used.
IMPORTANT: Homeowners should only check for leaks on the gas connections that are external to
the pizza oven. If the valves or other internal connections need to be checked, please call a qualified
technician or Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet customer service at +1.800.868.1699.
To Conduct the Test:
Make a soap solution of one part liquid dish soap and one part water.
Make sure both pizza oven control valves are in the OFF position. Turn the gas supply ON. Use
a spray bottle, brush or rag to apply the mild soap solution to all connections from the supply
line or LP cylinder to the connection on the back of the pizza oven. Check all connections. Soap
bubbles will appear at any connections with a leak. Turn OFF the gas supply and tighten any leaky
connections. Recheck, applying more mild soap solution.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the pizza oven until all connections have been checked and
do not leak.
