do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. be sure
there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you
check for leaks. sparks or open flames will result in a fire or
explosion, which can cause serious bodily injury or death
and damage to property.
m warninG: You should check for gas leaks every time you
disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.
Note: All factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks. The
burners have been flame-tested. As a safety precaution however, you should recheck all
fittings for leaks before using your Weber® gas barbecue. Shipping and handling may
loosen or damage a gas fitting.

was dealer or shop assembled.

corrosive, all connections should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks.
If your barbecue has a side burner make sure the side burner is off .
