CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
•'_ DANGER
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.
z_ WARNING:You should check for gas leaks every time you
disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.
Note: All factory-rnade connections bave been tborougbly cbecked 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 e gas barbecue. Shipping and handling may
loosen or damage a gas fitting.

was dealer or store assembled.
