CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS

(1)

 

 

 

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

(2)

 

 

 

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 Fire-

 

place. 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.

slightly corrosive, all connections should be rinsed with water after checking

 

for leaks.

hand-wheel counterclockwise.

 

 

WARNING: Do not ignite burner when 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.

(4)

1) Regulator-to-Cylinder connection.

 

 

WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (1) or (2),

leaks with soap and water solution. If a leak persists
