CHECKING FOR LEAKS

All points of connection to the gas supply should be
checked for leaks at time of installation or anytime
you smell gas. It is also advisable to recheck them
periodically. Follow the steps outlined below:

A. Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent

and one part water.

B. Make sure all controls are in the "OFF" position.

Turn on the gas supply to the unit. Use a spray
bottle, brush or rag to apply the solution to all
fittings and points of connection from the supply
stub out up to and including the inlet to the
manifold. See Figures 11 and 12. Bubbles will
form where a leak exists.

C. If a leak is present, shut off the gas at the supply.

Tighten any leaking fittings, turn on the gas and
recheck.
