Check all gas fittings for leaks.
WARNING: 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.
Make sure main burners are in the OFF position.
Refer to "Step-by-Step Instruction" booklet for removal
and installation of control panel.
To perform leak checks: Turn on gas supply.
WARNING: Do not ignite burners while 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.
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.
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. This will result in a fire or
explosion which can cause serious bodily
injury or death, and damage to property.

Inspection and Cleaning of the Weber
Spider Stopper Guards
To inspect the Spider Stopper Guards, remove the
control panel and look to see if they have dust or dirt on
their outside surfaces. If they do, brush off the outside
surface of the Spider Stopper Guards with a soft bristle
brush (an old toothbrush for example). Check that there
are no gaps in the Spider Stopper Guards’ seams or in
the fit around the burners or valves. (See Section
"General Maintenance".)
