Check for Leaks

After connecting the cooktop to gas, check
system for leaks with a manometer. If a
manometer is not available, turn the gas
supply on to the cooktop and use a liquid
leak detector at all joints and connections
to check for leaks.
Tighten all connections if necessary to
prevent gas leakage in the cooktop or
supply line.
Check alignment of valves after connecting
the cooktop to the gas supply to be sure the
manifold pipe has not been moved. A
misalignment could cause the valve knob
stem to rub on the control panel, resulting
in a gas leak at the valve.

DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME TO
CHECK FOR LEAKS!

Disconnect this cooktop and its individual
shutoff valve
from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures greater than 1/2

″ psig.

Isolate the cooktop from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply system at test pressures equal to or
less than 1/2

″ psig.
