OPERATION
LEAK TEST
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make 2~3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwasher detergent and three parts water. Noted: make
sure control knob is “OFF”.
2. Apply several drops of solution where the cylinder attaches to regulator, (see Figure 13), inspect the solution at
the connection looking for bubbles. If NO bubbles appear, the connection is secure. If bubbles appear, the
connection has the leak, disconnect the regulator, reconnect, perform another leak check. If you continue to see
bubbles after several attempts, cylinder valve is defective and should be returned to cylinder’s supplier.
3. Apply several drops of solution where gas valve attaches to bellows, (see Figure 14), where gas valve attaches to
regulator hose, (see Figure 15), and where inlet tube attaches to bellows, (see Figure 16). If NO bubbles appear,
the connections are secure. If bubbles appear, the connection has the leak, disconnect, reconnect, perform
another leak check. If you continue to see bubbles after several attempts, both parts are defective and should
replace with the new ones.
To perform a leak test:
gas valve / regulator hose connection (Figure 15)
inlet tube / bellows connection (Figure 16)
1. Always perform the leak test as described below before lighting this appliance or each time the cylinder is
connected for use.
2. Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.
3. Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
4. Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks.
5. Do not use this appliance until any and all leaks are corrected. If you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the
propane supply and call a gas appliance service shop or your local propane gas supplier.

Observe Flame Height When Lit:
The burner will display blue and yellow flames. These flames should be a blue /
yellow color between 1~2 in. height, (see Figure 18). These flames should not be yellow or produce thick smoke.
This would indicate an obstruction of airflow through the burners. The flames should be blue with straight yellow tops.
