PRECAUTIONS
Periodically check the whole gas system for leaks.
Immediately check for leaks if smell of gas is detected.
Extinguish all open flames during leakage test or when smell of gas is detected.
Never smoke while performing leak test.
If you cannot stop a leak, turn off the gas supply immediately and contact the dealer where
you bought your heater unit, or your gas supplier.
The appliance must be checked with a full gas tank.
DO NOT use the heater until you have performed leak test on all the connections and verified
that your unit does not leak.

TESTING FOR LEAKAGE
Gas connections on the appliance are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment. Possible
mishandling of the appliance during the shipment might contribute to product integrity as a whole. A
complete gas leakage test must be performed again at the installation site. Please follow the
procedure below for leakage test.
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. The soap solution can be
applied with spray bottle, brush or rag. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present.
Make sure the safety control valve is in the “OFF” position.
Turn ON the gas supply and check for bubbles from the hoses and connections. Presence of
bubbles means that a leak path is present.
If a leak is present, turn OFF the gas supply immediately, tighten any leaking fitting, turn gas
supply ON and recheck.
VISUALLY CHECKING BURNER FLAMES
