TEST ALL CONNECTIONS FOR GAS LEAKS
(FACTORY AND FIELD):
WARNING
Never use an open flame to
check for leaks.
Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks, us-
ing a gas leak test solution (also referred to as
bubble leak solution).
NOTE: Using a soapy water solution is an
effective leak test solution but it is not recom-
mended, because the soap residue that is left
on the pipes/fittings can result in corrosion

B. Brush all joints and connections with the gas
leak test solution to check for leaks. If bubbles
are formed, or gas odor is detected, turn the
gas control knob (off/pilot/on) to the "OFF"
position. Either tighten or refasten the leaking
connection, then retest as described above.
C. When the gas lines are tested and leak free,
be sure to rinse off the leak testing solution.

The pilot flame should be steady, not lifting
or floating. Flame should be blue in color with
traces of orange at the outer edge.
The top 3/8" (10 mm) at the pilot generator
(thermopile) and the top 1/8" minimum (tip)
of the quick drop out thermocouple should be
engulfed in the pilot flame.
The flame should project 1" (25 mm) beyond the
hood at all three ports (see Figure 52). Replace
logs if removed for pilot inspection.
To light the burner; turn "ON" the remote wall
switch and rotate the gas valve control knob
counterclockwise to the "ON" position ("ON"
will be at the top side of the valve).
