DANGER
Do not use an open flame to check for gas
leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open
flames in the area while you check for leaks.
This will result in a fire or explosion which
can cause serious bodily injury or death
and damage to property.
WARNING: You should check for gas leaks every
time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.

and water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections
should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks.
To perform leak checks: Turn test valve to the CLOSED
