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 oven.
Include gas fittings and joints in the oven 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.
• Check all gas connections for leaks
(see note below).
• Check all gas fittings for leaks.
