Leak Testing - Kalamazoo Artisan Fire Pizza Oven Use And Care Manual

Leak Testing

Although gas connections on the pizza oven are leak tested at the factory
prior to shipment, a complete test must be performed after installation due to
possible mishandling during shipping or installation.
Periodic checks are also recommended. Immediately check for leaks if you
smell gas.
Never use an open flame to look for leaks.
Before Testing: Extinguish all open flames. Do not smoke.
You will need a spray bottle, a brush or a rag. For LP units using a 20-pound cylinder, a full cylinder should be
used.
IMPORTANT:
Homeowners should only check for leaks on the gas connections that are external to the pizza
oven. If the valves or other internal connections need to be checked, please call a qualified technician or
Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet customer service at 1.800.868.1699.
To Conduct the Test:
Make a soap solution of one part liquid dish soap and one part water.
Make sure both pizza oven control valves are in the OFF position. Turn the gas supply ON. Use a spray bottle,
brush or rag to apply the mild soap solution to all connections from the supply line or LP cylinder to the
connection on the back of the pizza oven. Check all connections. Soap bubbles will appear at any connections
with a leak. Turn OFF the gas supply and tighten any leaky connections. Recheck, applying more mild soap
solution.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the pizza oven until all connections have been
checked and do not leak.
