Leak Test:
•Mix a
•Light appliance- see lighting instructions on page 21 of this manual or on the stove’s rating plate.
•Brush or spray all joints and connections with the soapy water solution.
If bubbles appear at any connection or seam or a gas odor is detected immediately turn gas control knob to the OFF position.
Tighten or reconnect the leaking joint and retest for any gas leaks.
Gas Pressure
Correct gas pressure is essential for efficient and safe operation of this appliance. It is important that the correct pressure is established at the time of the installation. Proper gas pressure provides a consis- tent flow of gas to the appliance and is instrumental in checking for gas leaks.
The gas control valve on the stove is equipped with pressure test points for gauge connections. It is possible then to test SUPPLY/INLET pressure and manifold pressure at the appliance.
Testing the available gas pressure should be done by attaching a manometer to the appropriate test point on the valve. The gauge connections are located on the front of the valve under the On/Off/ Pilot- knob. Gauge connections are identified by:
E - for Inlet or supply pressure (the amount of gas coming to the valve.)
A - for Manifold pressure (the amount of gas that is coming out of the valve to the burner.) See fig. 20.

The appliance and its main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing on that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply line by closing its individual manual gas shut- off valve (gas cock) during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system that is equal to or exceeds pressures of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
