Annual Maintenance

After a period of nonuse, we recommend that you perform the following maintenance procedures for your safety.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Check:

1) Hose to manifold connections.

WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (1), re- tighten the fitting with a wrench and recheck for leaks with a soap and water solution.

If a leak persists after re-tightening the fitting, turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your region using the contact information sheet provided with your manual.

2)Regulator to tank connection.

3)Manifold to side burner hose connection.

4)Side burner hose to side burner connection

5)Valves to manifold connection.

6)Hose to regulator connection.

WARNING: If there is a leak at connections (2,3,4,5 0r 6), turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your region using the contact information sheet provided with your manual.

When leak checks are complete, turn gas supply OFF at the source and rinse connections with water.

Inspection and Cleaning of the Weber Spider Stopper™ Guards

To inspect the Spider Stopper Guards, remove the control panel and look to see if they have dust or dirt on their outside surfaces. If they are dirty, brush off the outside surface of the Spider Stopper Guards with a soft bristle brush (an old toothbrush for example). Check that there are no gaps in the Spider Stopper Guards’ seams or in the fit around the burners or valves. (See Section “General Maintenance.”)
