Gas Instructions
Check for gas leaks
After a period of nonuse, we recommend that you perform
the following maintenance procedures for your safety.
ƽ WARNING: Check the hose before each use of the
barbecue for nicks, cracking, abrasions or cuts. If
the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not
use the barbecue. Replace using only Weber
authorized replacement hose. Contact the
Customer Service Representative in your region
using the contact information sheet provided with
your manual.
Inspect the burners for correct flame pattern. Clean if
necessary, following the procedures outlined in the
“General Maintenance” section of this manual.
Check all gas fittings for leaks.
ƽ 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 flames will result in a fire or
explosion, which can cause serious bodily
injury or death, and damage to property.
ƽ 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 have loosened or
damaged a gas fitting.
ƽ WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your
barbecue was dealer- or store-assembled.
You will need: a soap and water solution and a rag or
brush to apply it.
To perform leak checks: Make sure all Burners are in the
off position. Turn on gas supply.
ƽ WARNING: Do not ignite burners while leak
checking.
Check for leaks by wetting the connections with the soap
and water solution and watching for bubbles. If bubbles
form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak.
