Checking For Leaks

– To check for leaks, make up a 50/50 solution

of dish soap and water. Apply this solution

 

to

all gas connections. If bubbles appear,

 

there

is a leak. If a leak is found, turn off

 

the gas

supply, and re-connect the leaking

connection. If the leak persists after several

tries, contact 

Larson Electronics at

1-877-349-0157

.

– The installation of this heater must meet all

local codes and/or gas utility requirements. In

the absence of local codes, the National Fuel

Code ANSI Z223.1 should be followed.

– The minimum clearances to any combustible

construction materials must be maintained at

all times (See Page 2).

– Inspect the heater before each use, and at

least annually by a qualified service person.
