•Contact your dealer for assistance if bubbles continue to appear.
•Never leak test while smoking.
FUEL GAS ODOUR
LP Gas has an added odorant to specifically assist on the detection of fuel gas leaks. If a
gas leak occurs you should be able to smell the fuel gas. Since LP Gas is heavier than air
you should smell for the gas odour low to the floor. ANY GAS ODOUR IS YOUR
SIGNAL TO GO INTO IMMEDIATE ACTION!
•Do not take any action that could ignite the
fuel gas. Do not operate any electrical
switches. Do not pull any power supply or
extension cords. Do not light matches or
any other source of flame. Do not use your
telephone.
•Get everyone out of the building and away
from the area immediately. LP Gas is
heavier than air and may settle in low
areas. When you have reason to suspect
a gas leak, keep out of all low areas.
•Use your neighbor’s phone and call your
LP Gas supplier and your fire department.
Do not reenter the building or area.
•Stay out of the building and away from the
area until declared safe by the firefighters
and your LP Gas supplier.
•FINALLY, let the fuel gas service person
and the firefighters check for escaped gas.

burner ports.
To clean the burner ports, remove the reflector assembly by removing the three nuts at the
top of the reflector. The mesh screen should then be extracted by removing the four
retention screws at the base of the mesh screen and four screws at the top of the screen.
Remove the two screws retaining the burner assembly, rotate the burner assembly slightly
then remove the burner assembly upwards.
Care should always be taken to avoid damage to the gas piping and Piezo ignition lead.
The burner and mesh screen should then be cleaned by compressed air. Assembly is a
reversal of the above procedure.
If the pilot is blocked by debris, spider webs etc. the pilot flame may be small and the flame
failure device may have not heated up enough for the main burner to come on. If this
happens it will be necessary to clean the pilot and its gas tube.
To clean the pilot, remove the burner and pilot cover as detailed above, Inspect the pilot
injector and tubing for blockage. If obstructed clean with compressed air. Clean the flame
failure device. Assembly is a reversal of the above procedure.
