When the range is connected, and all gas valves have been closed, turn on main supply, but before lighting the range or

putting it to use, test all supply line connections and range itself for leaks. This range has been factory tested for leaks,

a leak is discovered it must be stopped before the range is

put into operation. After checking for leaks, wipe the soap

solution off of the components. Joint compounds used must

be resistant to the action of liquified petroleum gases. Any opening in the wall or floor, behind or under the range must be sealed.
