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.

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 burner has been flame-tested. As a safety precaution however, you should recheck all fittings for leaks before using your Weber® gas fireplace. Shipping and handling may loosen or damage a gas fitting.

WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your fireplace 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: Slide back the collar of the quick disconnect. Push male fi tting of the hose into the quick disconnect, and maintain pressure(1). Slide the collar closed(2). If it does not engage or lock, repeat procedure.

Gas will not fl ow unless the quick disconnect is properly engaged. Turn on gas supply.

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.

WARNING: Do not ignite burner when leak checking.
