Finding and/or fixing a gas leak is NOT a “DO-IT-YOURSELF” procedure – ONLY USE A PROFESSIONAL.
NEVER USE THE OVEN WITHOUT FIRST LEAK TESTING THE GAS CONNECTIONS INCLUDING ALL OF
THE VALVES, FITTINGS, LINES ETC. (ALL GAS CONNECTIONS SHOULD BE CHECKED)
WARNING: DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. USE OF AN OPEN FLAME COULD
RESULT IN A FIRE, EXPLOSION AND BODILY HARM.
DO NOT SMOKE WHILE PERFORMING THE LEAK TEST. Any open flame will ignite the gas.
To prevent fire or explosion hazard, Perform leak test outdoors only.
Check to ensure that flexible hoses do not have any cuts and wear that may affect the safety before
each use. Only the factory supplied hose and regulator must be used. Use only replacement regulator
and hose assemblies specified by BLAZE OUTDOOR PRODUCTS.
Perform a leak test before each use. In addition, whenever the gas cylinder is connected to the regulator or
whenever any part of the gas system is disconnected or replaced, perform a leak test.
As a safety precaution, remember to always leak test your appliance outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never
smoke or permit sources of ignition in the area while doing a leak test. Do not use a flame, such as a lighted
match to test for leaks. Use a solution of soapy water.
Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by mixing in a spray bottle one-part liquid soap to one part
water.
Make sure all the control knobs are in the “OFF” position.
Turn on the gas.
o
On Natural Gas systems, turn the main feed valve to the appliance.
o
On LP systems, turn the cylinder valve knob counter clockwise one turn to open.
Apply the leak-testing solution by spraying it on joints of the gas delivery system. This includes all valves,
pipe connections, joints, lines and every point from the gas source to the burners.
Blowing bubbles in the soap solution and/or there is a faint gas smell (Typically Gas has an Egg Smell)
indicates that a leak is present. Do not attempt to ignite the
oven
.
Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position.
Stop a leak by tightening the loose joint and/or resealing with thread sealant or Teflon tape, removing
sealant or tape in the event of a flared connection or by replacing the faulty part with a
replacement part recommended by the manufacturer. Do not attempt to repair the cylinder valve if it is
damaged. The cylinder must be discarded to a proper LP tank location and then replaced.
If you are unable to stop a leak turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position, shut off the gas supply
to the appliance and release pressure in the hose and manifold by pushing in and turning any of the
control valves one quarter turn counter-clockwise.
On LP systems, remove the cylinder from the appliance.
Call an authorized gas appliance service technician or an LP gas dealer.
