Check for gas leaks
After a period of nonuse, we recommend
that you perform the following maintenance
procedures for your safety.
• Inspect the burner for correct fl ame pattern.
Clean if necessary, following the procedures
outlined in the “General Maintenance” section
of this manual.
• Check all gas fi ttings for leaks.
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 burners have
been fl ame tested. As a safety precaution
however, you should recheck all fi ttings for
leaks before using your Weber
®
gas grill.
Shipping and handling may have loosened
or damaged a gas fi tting.
WARNING: Perform these leak checks
even if your grill was dealer- or store-
assembled. 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 and
turn on gas supply.
WARNING: Do not ignite burner 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.
Check:
1) Regulator to hose connection.
WARNING: If there is a leak at
connection (1), remove propane cylinder.
Do not operate grill. Use a different
propane cylinder and recheck for leaks
with soap and water solution. If a leak
persists after retightening the propane
cylinder, turn OFF the gas. DO NOT
OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the

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