ƽ WARNING: Do not ignite burner while leak
checking.
Check for leaks by wetting the connections with
the soap and water solution and watching for
bubbles. If bubbles form, or if a bubble grows,
there is a leak. Note: Since some leak test
solutions, including soap and water, may be
slightly corrosive, all connections should be rinsed
with water after checking for leaks.

1) Regulator to propane cylinder connection.
ƽ WARNING: If there is a leak at connection
