a lighted match to test for leaks. Use a solution of soapy water.
1. Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by mixing in a spray
bottle one part liquid soap to one part water.
2. Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF position.
3. Turn on the gas.
On natural gas systems, turn the main feed valve to the burner.
On propane systems, turn the cylinder valve knob counter clock-
wise one turn to open.
4. Apply the leak-testing solution by spraying it on joints of the gas
delivery system. Blowing bubbles in the soap solution indicates
that a leak is present.
5. Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint 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. The
cylinder must be replaced.
