Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks using a gas leak test

solution (also referred to as bubble leak solution).

NOTE: using a soapy water solution (50% dish soap, 50% water)

is an effective leak test solution, but it is not recommended,

because the soap residue that is left on the pipes/fittings can

result in corrosion over time.

A. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting instructions label in

the control compartment or on Page 13).

B. Brush all joints and connections with the gas leak test

solution to check for leaks. If bubbles are formed, or gas

odor is detected, turn the gas control knob (off/pilot/on)

to the “OFF” position. Either tighten or refasten the leaking

connection, then retest as described above.

C. When the gas lines are tested and leak free, be sure to rinse

off the leak testing solution.

D. Observe the individual tongues of flame on the burner. Make

sure all ports are open and producing flame evenly across the

burner. If any ports are blocked, or partially blocked, clean out

the ports.

The heater regulator controls the burner pressure which should

be checked at the pressure test points located on the control

valve itself (shown in Figure 8) for burner (manifold) and

regulator setting pressure.

The pressure test points are located on the gas valve. To access

the valve and the test points, firstly remove the control knob

spindle from the valve spindle by removing the retaining clip

shown in Figure 6.

Withdraw the control knob and spindle from the heater and next,

remove the gas valve cover plate by first removing the three

retaining screws indicated in Figure 7.

14.0 CHECKING THE GAS CONNECTIONS

15.0 GAS PRESSURE CHECK

The pressure test points are located as shown in Figure 8. An alternative

burner (manifold test) point is located below the left hand side of the

burner as shown in Figure 9.

The pressure regulator on manual models is preset and locked to avoid

tampering. If the pressure is not as specified in Table 1 on Page 3,

replace the regulator with P/N H6063 for Natural Gas units and H7001

for Propane Gas units.

Replace the test point screws after pressure measurement ensuring no

gas leaks. All instructions must be left in the possession of the user

for safekeeping.
