solution for leaks. Bubbles indicate leaks. Repair any leaks and recheck before proceeding.
DANGER: DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME TO TEST FOR LEAKS!

the final check of the gas supply is complete and the corrections are made, go to the “Lighting Operation”
section of this manual.

four (4) seconds. If the burner does not ignite within four (4) seconds, turn valve to “OFF” position.

any leaks are found, turn gas supply off and correct them immediately.
