this connection or follow these
instructions could cause a fire or an
explosion which can cause death,
serious bodily injury, or damage to
property.
2. If the burner pipe does not rest flush to the orifice,
please contact 1.800.762.1142 for assistance.

reconnect, making sure the connection is secure.
b. If you continue to see bubbles after several
attempts, remove the LP gas tank per "Disconnect
