6. Besureallopeningsinthecabinetryaroundthegaslinearesealedattimeof

CAUTION: It is imperative that the cabinet in which the cook top is placed
be separated from other appliances so that the combustion air supply to
the top burners can not be affected in any way by any forced-air heating
appliance or its return air system or by any other source of positive or
negative air pressure. A negative air pressure created by another forced
air appliance may draw the ame down around the top burners and into
the cook top resulting in damage to the burners and cook top, as well
as possible personal injury and/or damage to vehicle. A positive draft
could cause the burner ame to lift-off the burner and go out resulting in
an uncontrolled escape of gas. Whenever the gas fumes reach an open
ame or another ignition source, an explosion and/or re will occur
resulting in property damage, personal injury and/or loss of life.
7. Be sure burner knobs are in “off” position. Turn on gas supply. Check all
connectionsforleaks.
WARNING: Never check for leaks with an open ame. Apply a soap and
water solution to all joints to see if bubbles are formed.
NOTE: The appliance must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
systemduringany pressure testing of that system attestpressureinexcess
