Ensure that the control valve is “OFF”.
Connect the regulator to the LP gas cylinder and ON/OFF valve to the burner. Ensure that the connections are secure and then turn the gas ON.
Brush the soapy solution onto the hose and all joints. If bubbles appear you have a leak, which must be rectified before use.
