TESTING BURNER FOR LEAKS
1. Generously apply noncorrosive leak detec-
tion fluid to all connections.
WARNING: Never check for
gas leaks with open flame.
2. Light the burner with the shutoff valve no
more than half open and holding a match
slightly in front of the pan (see Lighting
Instructions, page 9).
3. Inspect all connections for bubbles, raw gas
odor, or flame from any area other than the
burner (leaks). If leaks are detected, shut off
the gas valve immediately. Tighten, or reas
-
semble the loose connection(s) using pipe joint
compound until burner system is leak free.
4. When the burner is tested and leak free, observe
the individual tongues of flame on the burner.
Make sure that all ports are clear and produc
-
ing flame evenly across the burner. If any ports
appear blocked, clear them by removing the
burner manifold and reaming the ports with a
modified paper clip or other suitable tool.
5. When finished testing, turn the gas shutoff
valve OFF to extinguish all flames.
ADDING PAN MATERIAL
