Step 1
Assemble stove per "Assembly Instructions" on page 3 of this manual. Make sure burner control knobs are in "OFF" position.
Step 2
Prepare a soapy water solution (one part dishwashing liquid to three parts water) to test for gas leaks in the connections. Apply a generous amount of the soapy mixture to the regulator assembly at the regulator and stove fitting (located on the right side of stove).
Step 3
With the burner control knobs in the "OFF" position, check for bubbles where propane canister attaches to regulator assembly and at stove fitting. If soapy mixture starts bubbling, gas is leaking through the connections. Disconnect the propane canister. Retighten the connection that is leaking gas. Repeat procedure with soapy mixture until gas no longer leaks. NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
Step 4
Once all gas leaks have been sealed, WAIT AT LEAST 5 MINUTES FOR GAS FUMES TO DISSIPATE BEFORE LIGHTING THE BURNERS.
Carefully follow "Operating Instructions" to light the burner and properly operate this unit.
