 The gas pressure reading on the manometer when stopped, will be slightly higher than the reading during 

the preheating operation. 

 

Never search for a gas leak with the help of a flame 

 

If a gas leak is suspected, do not attempt to correct it by tightening the fitting, but dismantle the fitting in 
search of a foreign particle inserted in the parting hose. In the event of such discovery, change the seal.
