The gas connections on this appliance are leak tested at the factory prior to
shipment.
This appliance needs to be periodically checked for leaks and an immediate
check is required if the smell of gas is detected.
zMake a soap solution using 1 part of liquid dish-washing soap to 3 parts
water. The soap solution can be applied with a soap bottle, brush, or rag to
the leak tested points shown in the figure right.
