Gas Leak Check
WARNING: All gas joints disturbed during servicing must be checked for leaks. Do not
use an open flame. Use a hazardous gas tester or a soap and water solution (Bubbles
indicate a gas leak). Failure to comply can cause property damage, injury or death.
WARNING: If a gas leak is detected, do not operate this or any other equipment until the
leak has been properly repaired. Failure to comply can cause property damage, injury or
death.
After completing service on any gas equipment, all gas joints disturbed during service must be
checked for leaks. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME. Use a hazardous gas tester or use a soap
and water solution as follows:
1. Apply a soap and water solution to gas joint and check for bubbles.
2. If bubbles are present, the joint is leaking and must be repaired before using the
equipment.
Gas Pressure Check
WARNING: Always perform the Electrical Lockout/Tagout procedure before removing
any sheet metal panels or attempting to service this equipment. Failure to comply with
this procedure can cause property damage, injury or death.
1. Perform the MANIFOLD COVER REMOVAL procedure.
2. Turn off the gas supply.
3. Remove one of the plugs from the gas manifold.
4. Connect the manometer to the gas manifold.
Figure 30: Gas Pressure Check Manometer Connection
NOTE: In a battery arrangement, connect the manometer to the center unit of the battery.
NOTE: If the pressure reading is taken at the oven burner or anywhere other than the main gas
manifold pipe, the pressure reading will not be valid.
5. Turn on the gas supply.
6. Check manometer reading. The reading should be 5.0" W.C. for natural gas and 11.0"
W.C. for propane gas.
