Annual Maintenance

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

mWARNING: Check hose before each use of 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 manifold assembly. Order from Weber- Stephen Products Co., Customer Service Center or authorized dealer.

■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.

mDANGER

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. This will result in a fire or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and damage to property.

mWARNING: You should check for gas leaks every time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.

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.

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.

mWARNING: Do not ignite burners while leak checking.

Check:

a)Hose to manifold connection. Figure 8 (a).

b)Regulator to tank connection. Figure 8 (b).

mWARNING: If there is a leak at connection (a) retighten the fitting with a wrench and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution.
