baking results, poor burner
ignition, pilot won't stay lit,

Pressure regulator..................................... • Test pressure regulator, see Chapter
Never test for gas leaks using an open flame.
To test for a gas leak, apply a non-corrosive leak detection fluid to all joints and
fittings in the gas connection between the supply line, shut-off valve, and range or
cooktop. Include gas fittings and joints in the range or cooktop if connections were
disturbed during installation. Bubbles appearing around fittings and connections
indicates a leak. If a leak is present, turn off supply line gas shut-off valve, tighten
connections, turn on the supply line gas shut-off valve, and retest for leaks. When
finished, wipe off all residue.
