Check for gas leaks

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

•Inspect the burner 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.

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 grill. Shipping and handling may have loosened or damaged a gas fitting.

WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your grill 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 the Burner is in the off position and turn on gas supply.

WARNING: Do not ignite burner 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) Regulator to propane cylinder connection.

WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (1), remove propane cylinder. Do not operate grill. Use a different propane cylinder and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution. If a leak persists after retightening the propane cylinder, turn OFF the gas.
