GAS LEAK WARNINGS
FINDING AND/OR FIXING A GAS LEAK IS NOT A “DO-IT-YOURSELF” PROCEDURE – ONLY USE
A PROFESSIONAL.
NEVER USE THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT FIRST LEAK TESTING THE GAS CONNECTIONS
INCLUDING ALL OF THE VALVES, FITTINGS, LINES ETC. (ANY GAS CONNECTION SHOULD BE
CHECKED.)
WARNING: DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. USE OF AN OPEN FLAME
COULD RESULT IN A FIRE, EXPLOSION AND BODILY HARM.
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE PERFORMING THE LEAK TEST. ANY OPEN FLAME WILL IGNITE THE
GAS.
TO PREVENT FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD, PERFORM LEAK TEST OUTDOORS ONLY.
CHECK TO ENSURE THAT FLEXIBLE HOSES DO NOT HAVE ANY CUTS AND WEAR THAT MAY
AFFECT THE SAFETY BEFORE EACH USE. ONLY THE FACTORY SUPPLIED HOSE AND
REGULATOR MUST BE USED. USE ONLY REPLACEMENT REGULATOR
AND HOSE ASSEMBLIES SPECIFIED BY BLAZE.
Checking for Gas Leaks
Perform a leak test before each use. In addition, whenever the gas cylinder is connected to the regulator or
whenever any part of the gas system is
disconnected or replaced, perform a leak test.
As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test your appliance outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never
smoke or permit sources of ignition in the area while doing a leak test. Do not use a flame, such as a lighted
match to test for leaks. Use a solution of soapywater.
 Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by mixing in a spray bottle one part liquid soap to one
part
water.
 Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF position.
 Turn on the gas.
o On Natural Gas systems, turn the main feed valve to the appliance.
o On LP systems, turn the cylinder valve knob counter clockwise one turn to open.
 Apply the leak-testing solution by spraying it on joints of the gas delivery system. This includes all
valves, pipe connections, joints, lines and every point from the gas source to the burners.
 Blowing bubbles in the soap solution and/or there is a faint gas smell (Typically Gas has an Egg
Smell) indicates that a leak is present. Do not attempt to ignite the burner.
 Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position.
 Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint and/or resealing with thread sealant or Teflon tape, removing
sealant or
tape in the event of a flared connection or by replacing the faulty part with a replacement
part
recommended by the manufacturer. Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it is damaged.

BLAZE Instructional Book
Page | 15
The cylinder must be discarded to a proper LP tank location and then replaced.
 If you are unable to stop a leak turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position, shut off thegas
supply to the appliance and release pressure in the hose and manifold by pushing in and turning
anyof
the control valves one quarter turn counter-clockwise.
 On LP systems, remove the cylinder from the appliance.
 Call an authorized gas appliance service technician or an LP gas dealer.
 Do not use the appliance until the leak is corrected.
 The below diagram is intended to show what a leaking connection would look like. These two
locations are not the only points to check nor the only potential areas for a gas leak to be present.
Leak Testing
 All gas piping and connections must be tested for leaks after installation or service along with before
each use. This includes all valves, pipe connections, joints, lines and every point from the gas
source to the burners.
All leaks must be corrected
immediately. Remember-before exchanging an empty bottle for a new one; make
sure all control valves are in
the “off” position. This can create a low flow of gas through the burner. This would
require the tank to be disconnected from the regulator, and then reconnected to reset the regulator.
Open the valve (shut-off or ‘ON’ LP tank). Test for leaks by applying liquid soap solution to all joints. Bubbles forming
indicate gas leak.
 The following diagram is for informational purposes only. These locations are not the only points to
check nor the only potential areas for a gas leak to be present. Ensure the leak test includes all
valves, pipe connections, joints, lines and every point from the gas source to the burners.
