CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS

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.
m WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your barbecue
was dealer or shop assembled.
Note: Since some leak test solutions, including soap and water, may be slightly 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 .
To perform leak checks: open LPG cylinder valve by turning the cylinder valve hand-
wheel anticlockwise .
You will need: LPG cylinder, a soap and water solution and a rag or brush to apply it .
A) Mix soap and water .
B) Turn on the LPG cylinder valve by turning cylinder valve handwheel anticlockwise .
C) Check for leaks by wetting the fitting with the soap and water solution and watching
for bubbles . If bubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak . If there is a leak,
turn off the gas and tighten the fitting . Turn the gas back on and recheck with the
soap and water solution . If leak does not stop do not use the barbecue . Contact the
Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our
web site . Log onto www .weber .com .
D) When leak checking is complete, turn gas supply off at the source and rinse
connections with water .
