GAS SAFETY INFORMATION
How to Leak Test Your Appliance
Mix a solution of liquid soap and water in a small container.
Make sure that the gas supply is turned on. For LP gas appliances make sure that the valve on
the gas cylinder is turned on.
Ensure that the gas control valve on the appliance is in the OFF position.
Use a spray bottle or a small brush and liberally apply the solution to the gas line and to each
connection.
If there are bubbles forming this means that a leak is present.
Tighten any connections that may be loose and leak test again.
If no more leaks are found use the appliance, if leaks persist and cannot be stopped turn off the
gas supply and contact your distributor or local gas service technician for assistance.
WARNING: Do not use an open flame to test for gas leaks.
Leak testing with a
small brush.
