4.Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
5.Correct all leaks at once.
6.Reconnect heater and equipment shutoff valve to gas supply. Check reconnected fit- tings for leaks.
Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than
1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1. Close equipment shutoff valve (see Figure 13).
2. Pressurize supply piping system by either opening propane/LP supply tank valve for propane/LP gas or opening main gas valve located on or near gas meter for natural gas or using compressed air.
3. Check all joints from gas meter to equipment shutoff valve for natural gas or propane/LP sup- ply to equipment shutoff valve for propane/LP (see Figure 14 or 15). Apply noncorrosive leak detection fluid to all joints. Bubbles forming show a leak.
4. Correct all leaks at once.

Adding Embers, Lava rock and Decorative logs
The effect of glowing embers is created by placing ember material on the front burner.
1.Make sure the heater is OFF and has cooled if it has been running.
2.Gently remove embers from the bag using gloves or tweezers (recommended to prevent skin irritation). Separate the pieces.
3.Place ember pieces, one at a time, over ports on flat burner (see Figure 16). Do NOT place ember material anywhere else on the unit.
Use only ember material supplied with unit (12 one inch square pieces). Excessive ember mate- rial may produce carbon monoxide or soot.
