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.
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
fi replace. Shipping and handling may loosen or damage a gas fi tting.
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.
To perform leak checks: Slide back the collar of the quick disconnect. Push
male fi tting of the hose into the quick disconnect, and maintain pressure(1).
Slide the collar closed(2). If it does not engage or lock, repeat procedure.
Gas will not fl ow unless the quick disconnect is properly engaged.
Turn on gas supply.
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.
WARNING: Do not ignite burner when leak checking.
