Safe and satisfactory operation of gas cooktops depend
upon its design and proper installation. However, there is
one more area of safety to be considered:
Servicing
Listed below are some general precautions and safety
practices which should be followed in order to protect the
service technician and consumer during service and after
service has been completed.
1. Gas smell—Extinguish any and all open flames and
open windows.
2. Turn gas off—Service cooktop with gas turned off
unless testing requires it.
3. Checking for gas leaks—Never check for leaks with
any kind of open flame. Soap and water solution
should be used for this purpose. Apply solution to
suspected area and watch for air bubbles which
indicates a leak. Correct leaks by tightening fittings,
screws, connections, applying approved compound,
or installing new parts.
4. Using lights—Use a hand flashlight when servicing
cooktops or checking for gas leaks. Electric
switches should not be operated where leaks are
suspected. This will avoid creating arcing or sparks
which could ignite the gas. If electric lights are
already turned on, they should not be turned off.
5. Do not smoke—Never smoke while servicing gas
cooktops, especially when working on piping that
contains or has contained gas.
6. Check cooktop when service is completed—After
servicing, make visual checks on electrical
connection, and check for gas leaks. Inform
consumer of the condition of cooktop before leaving.
7. Adhere to all local regulations and codes when
performing service.
Before Installing
Installing the gas cooktop in compliance with local
electrical and gas building codes results in proper
operation and consumer satisfaction with the cooktop.
