Check for gas leaks

barbecue have been factory tested. We do however
recommend that you leak check all gas connections
before operating your Weber gas barbecue.

barbecue was dealer or store assembled.
1) Unscrew the two phillips screws, located on the
right edge of the control panel.
2) Take off the burner control knobs.
3) Lift off the control panel.
ƽ 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.
ƽWARNING: 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.

the OFF position, including the side burner.
