TEST FOR LEAKS
WARNING:DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK
FOR GAS LEAKS! Do not use the cooktop until all
connections have been leak tested.
Perform leak test per the following instructions:
1. Purchase a liquid leak detector or prepare a soap
solution of one part water, one part liquid detergent.
2. When all connections have been made, make sure all
cooktop controls are turned to OFF and turn the gas
supply valve to ON.
3. Apply the liquid leak detector or the soap solution
around all connections from the shut-off valve
to the cooktop.
4. A leak is identified by a flow of bubbles from the
area of the leak.
5. If a leak is detected, turn the gas supply off. Tighten
the fitting. Turn the gas on and test again.
If the leak persists, turn the gas supply off and
contact your dealer for assistance. Do not attempt
