The tank inlet fitting (Figure 7, item 1) which is attached to
the regulator has a safety feature called the EXCESS FLOW
VALVE which shuts off the gas supply if the hose is cut or
burned in two. To avoid false activation of this safety feature,
make sure that both the tank valve (Item 3) and the regulator
control knob (Item 2) are in the OFF position. Attach the
regulator control knob (item 2) to the tank. Hand tighten the
fitting (no tools required) to a positive stop. Turn on the tank
valve slowly to avoid activating the excess flow valve. Spray
soapy water on the fittings and watch for leaks which will
form bubbles in the soapy water.
Repair any leaks before
lighting the stove.
