GAS INSTRUCTIONS
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
ƽ DANGER
Do not use an open fl ame to check for gas leaks. Be
sure there are no sparks or open fl ames in the area
while you check for leaks. Sparks or open fl ames will
result in a fi re or explosion, which can cause serious
bodily injury or death and damage to property.
ƽ WARNING: You should check for gas leaks every time
you disconnect and reconnect a gas fi tting.
Note - All factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas
leaks. The burner has been fl ame-tested. As a safety precaution however,
you should recheck all fi ttings for leaks before using your Weber
® Gas Fire-
place. Shipping and handling may loosen or damage a gas fi tting.
ƽ WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your
fi replace was dealer or store assembled.
You will need: a soap and water solution, and a rag or brush to apply it.

hand-wheel counterclockwise.
ƽ WARNING: Do not ignite burner when leak checking.

and watching for bubbles. If bubbles form or if a bubble grows, there is a
leak.
