•A slight leak could cause a fire.
•If no bubbles appear after one minute, turn the tank OFF, wash off soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.

WARNING:
When leak testing this appliance, make sure to test and tighten all loose connections. A slight leak in
the system can result in a low flame or hazardous condition. Most L.P. gas tanks now come equipped with a leak
detector mechanism internal to the tank. When gas is allowed to escape rapidly, it shuts of the gas supply. A leak
may significantly reduce the gas flow, making the heater difficult to light or cause low flames.
