Check for gas leaks:
After a period of non-use, we recommend that you
perform the following maintenance procedures for
your safety.
• Inspect the burner for correct flame pattern.
Clean if necessary, following the procedures
outlined in the “Annual Maintenance” section
of this manual.
• Check all gas fittings for leaks.
m 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 burners
have been flame-tested. As a safety precaution,
however, you should re-check all fittings for leaks
before using your Weber
® gas barbecue. Shipping
and handling may have loosened or damaged a
gas fitting.
m WARNING: Perform these leak checks
even if your barbecue has been assembled
by a dealer or at the shop where you
bought it.
You will need: a soap-and-water solution and a
rag or brush to apply it.
To perform leak checks, make sure the Burner is
in the OFF position. Turn on gas supply.
m WARNING: Do not ignite burner while
checking for leaks.
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.
Check:
1) Regulator-to-butane/-propane cartridge/
cylinder connection.
m WARNING: If there is a leak at connection
(1), remove butane/propane cartridge/
cylinder. Do not operate grill. Use a
different butane/propane cartridge/
cylinder and re check for leaks with a
soap-and-water solution. If a leak persists
after re-tightening the butane/propane
cartridge/cylinder, turn OFF the gas. DO
NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the
Customer Service Representative in your
area using the contact information on our
web site. Log onto www.weber.com

Check:
2) Valve-to-regulator connections.
m WARNING: If there is a leak at connection
(2) turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE
THE GRILL. Contact the Customer Service
Representative in your area using the
contact information on our web site. Log
on to www.weber.com

When leak checks are complete, turn gas supply
OFF at the source and rinse connections with
water.
m 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 flames will
result in a fire or explosion, which can
cause serious bodily injury or death,
and damage to property.
