The appliance and its appliance main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5kPa).
The Cylinder Must Also Be Equipped with:
1.
A shut-off valve terminating in a Type 1 gas cylinder valve outlet
2.
A Type 1 valve that prevents gas flow until a positive seal is made
3.
A collar to protect the cylinder shut-off valve
4.

LP Cylinder Leak Test
1.
Leak test must be repeated each time LP cylinder is exchanged or refilled.
2.
DO NOT smoke or have anything nearby that can easily ignite, such as lighters or matches.
3.
DO NOT use an open flame to check for gas leaks.
4.
The appliance must be leak-checked outdoors in a well-ventilated area away from open flames or sparks.
5.
REMOVE any pots or other cookware from the burner before beginning the test.
Transportation and Storage
1.
LP cylinder must include a collar to protect the gas supply valve.
2.
Do not store a spare LP cylinder under or near the appliance.
3.
Never fill LP cylinder beyond 80% capacity.
4.
If warnings 2 and 3 above are not heeded exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
5.
Always transport in an upright position. Never keep a filled LP gas cylinder in a hot car or truck. Heat may
cause the gas pressure to increase, which may cause the relief valve to open and allow the gas to escape.
6.
Do not smoke when transporting your LP cylinder.
7.
Place a dust cap on the cylinder gas valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Use only the type of
dust cap that is provided with the cylinder valve when purchased. Other types of caps or plugs may result
in leakage of propane.
Steps for Leak Test:
Use a clean paintbrush and 50/50 soap and water solution.
NOTE:
Do not use household cleaning agents, which could damage the gas component.
1.
Turn burner control knob, regulator and cylinder valves OFF.
2.
Be sure the regulator is tightly connected to LP the appliance.
