PRE -OPERATION LEAK TESTING
Although all gas connections on the
oven are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas
tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible shifting during
shipment, installation or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit.
Periodically check the whole system for
leaks and immediately check the system if the
smell of gas is detected.
1. Do not smoke while leak testing.
2. Extinguish all open flames.
3. Never leak test with an open flame.
4. Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent or liquid soap and water.
5. Turn off the burner control knobs.
6. Turn the top knob of the fuel supply cylinder counterclockwise two (2) rotations to open.
7. Apply the soap solution to connections of the fuel supply assembly. If no soap bubbles
appear, there is no gas leak. If bubbl
es form at the connections, a leak is detected. If a leak
is detected, immediately turn off the gas supply, tighten any leaking fittings, turn gas on,
and repeat steps 1-3.
8. Turn off the knob on the fuel supply cylinder.
9. Turn on the burner control knobs for a moment to release the pressure in the hose, then
turn the control knobs back off.
10. Wash off soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.
Check all gas supply fittings before each use and each time the gas suppl
y cylinder is
connected to the regulator. Have a qualified servic
e technician leak test the oven
any time
a part of the gas system is replaced.
It is also recommended that you perform a leak test at least once a year whether or not the
L.P. gas supply cylinder has been disconnected.
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 off the gas supply. A leak may
significantly reduce the
gas flow, making th
e oven difficult to light or causing low flames.
If you cannot stop a gas leak, turn off
the gas supply and call your local gas company. If
necessary, replace the faulty part with the manufacturer’s recommended replacement part.
A slight leak could cause a fire.
