REGULATOR SAFETY FEATURE
AllQCCregulators(thepartthatattachestothegas
cylindertoregulatetheowofgas)haveasafetyfeature
includedthatrestrictsgasowintheeventofagasleak.
Youcaninadvertentlyactivatethissafetyfeaturewithout
havingagasleak.Thistypicallyoccurswhenyouturn
onthegasusingtheappliancecontrolknobbeforeyou
turnonthegascylindervalve.Ifthegasregulatorsafety
featureactivates,theappliancewilloperatewithreduced
outputasgasowisrestricted.
Thesestepsshouldbetakenrsttoresetthegas
regulatorsafetydevice:
1. Turngascylindervalveoff.
2. Turnapplianceoff.
3. Disconnecttheregulatorfromthegascylinder.
4. Wait30seconds.
5. Reconnecttheregulatortothegascylinder.
6. Leaktesttheconnectionusingasoapywatersolution.
