WARNING
Purging and filling of the LP cylinders must be performed by personnel who have been thoroughly trained in accepted
LP gas industry procedures. Failure to follow these instructions may result in explosion, fire, severe personal injury or
death.
Checking For Leaks
– To check for leaks, make up a 50/50 solution of dish soap and water. Apply this solution to all gas connections. If
bubbles appear, there is a leak. If a leak is found, turn off the gas supply, and re-connect the leaking connection. If the
leak persists after several tries, contact Gasland Customer Service at 1 (844) 538-7890.
