3TEST FOR LEAKS

WARNING: DO NOT USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS! Do not use the cooktop until all connections have been leak tested.

Perform leak test per the following instructions:

1.Purchase a liquid leak detector or prepare a soap solution of one part water, one part liquid detergent.

2.When all connections have been made, make sure all cooktop controls are turned to OFF and turn the gas supply valve to ON.

3.Apply the liquid leak detector or the soap solution around all connections from the shut-off valve to the cooktop.

4.A leak is identified by a flow of bubbles from the area of the leak.

5.If a leak is detected, turn the gas supply off. Tighten the fitting. Turn the gas on and test again.

If the leak persists, turn the gas supply off and contact your dealer for assistance. Do not attempt to operate the cooktop if a leak is present.
