Watch for Bubbles

Step 1
Assemble stove per "Assembly Instructions" on page 3
of this manual. Make sure burner control knobs are in
"OFF" position.
Step 2
Prepare a soapy water solution (one part dishwashing
liquid to three parts water) to test for gas leaks in the
connections. Apply a generous amount of the soapy
mixture to the regulator assembly at the regulator and
stove fitting (located on the right side of stove).
Step 3
With the burner control knobs in the "OFF" position,
check for bubbles where propane canister attaches to
regulator assembly and at stove fitting. If soapy
mixture starts bubbling, gas is leaking through the
connections. Disconnect the propane canister.
Retighten the connection that is leaking gas. Repeat
procedure with soapy mixture until gas no longer
leaks. NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS
LEAKS.
Step 4
Once all gas leaks have been sealed, WAIT AT LEAST 5
MINUTES FOR GAS FUMES TO DISSIPATE BEFORE
LIGHTING THE BURNERS.
Carefully follow "Operating Instructions" to light the
burner and properly operate this unit.
