LEAK TESTING FOR VALVES, HOSE AND REGULATOR
1. NEVER smoke while leak testing.
2.
Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame.
3.
Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent or liquid soap and water.
4. Turn control knobs to OFF.
5. Ensure that the connections from the regulator to the gas pizza oven and tank are tight and secure.
6.
Completely open LP tank valve by turning cylinder valve knob counterclockwise (right to left). If you hear a
rushing sound, turn gas off immediately. There is a major leak at the connection.
7. If no rushing sound, brush soapy solution onto areas where bubbles are shown in LP tank.
8.
If “growing” bubbles appear, there is a leak. Close LP tank valve immediately and retighten connections.
9. Always close LP tank valve after performing leak test by turning cylinder valve knob clockwise.
NOTE: When doing leak testing this appliance, make sure to tighten and test all loose connections. A
slight leak in the system can result in a low flame, or a hazardous condition that could result in a fire or
explosion.
LP GAS SUPPLY CYLINDER DISCONNECTION
In order to disconnect the LP tank from the gas pizza oven:
1.
Turn the burner valves off.
2.
Turn the tank valve off. (Turn shut-off clockwise to stop).
3.
Detach the regulator assembly from the tank valve by turning the quick coupling nut counterclockwise.
LP TANK REMOVAL, TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
•
Turn OFF all control knobs and LP tank valve. Turn coupling nut counterclockwise by hand only.
•
Do not use tools to disconnect. Install safety cap onto LP tank valve. Always use cap and strap supplied
with valve. Failure to use safety cap as directed may result in serious personal injury and/or property
damage. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type
of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs
may result in leakage of propane.
• Never leave a LP tank inside a motor vehicle. (Heating of the vehicle could cause an increase in the gas
pressure which may open the valve allowing gas to escape resulting a serious risk of fire or explosion.)
•
Do not store an LP tank in enclosed spaces such as a carport, garage, porch, covered patio or other
building.
•
Do not store LP tank in an area where children play.
LP TANK EXCHANGE
• Exchange your Type 1 cylinder for OPD safety feature-equipped replacement tank ONLY.
•
Always keep new and exchanged LP tanks in upright position during use, transit or storage. Leak test new
and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE connecting to gas pizza oven. Never connect the gas pizza oven to an
unregulated gas supply.
