Leveling the Barbecue and/or Griddle Cook Top
To ensure the proper and safe use of this barbecue, it is
important to make sure the barbecue is on a level, stable
surface before operating. In the event that your surface
and/or griddle cooktop is non-level you can adjust the feet
to correct. To adjust the feet, slightly lift one corner of the
barbecue and turn the feet right or left to raise or lower (E).
CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LEVEL THE Barbecue
DURING OPERATION OR WHILE THE Barbecue IS STILL
HOT.
What is a Leak Check?
Once the cartridge is properly installed, it is necessary to
perform a leak check. A leak check is a reliable way to verify
that gas is not escaping after you connect the cartridge.
The fuel system in your barbecue features factory-made
connections that have been thoroughly checked for gas
leaks and the burners have been flame-tested.
WEBER recommends performing a thorough leak check
after assembly, as well as every time you disconnect and
reconnect a gas fitting. The following fittings should be
tested:
• Where the cartridge connects to the regulator.
• Where the regulator connects to the hose.
• Where the hose connects to the valve.
Checking for Gas Leaks
If there is a leak from your appliance (smell of gas) and you
cannot stop the gas flow, remove the appliance to a well-
ventilated location away from any ignition source. Check for
leaks using soapy water. Do not try to detect leaks using a
flame.
1) Make sure burner control knob is turned o by pushing it
in and turning it clockwise to the o (
) position.
2) Wet fittings (A) with a soap and water solution, using a
spray bottle, brush, or rag. You can make your own soap
and water solution by mixing 20% liquid soap with 80%
water; or, you can purchase leak check solution in the
plumbing section of any hardware store.
3) If bubbles appear there is a leak:
a) If the leak is at the cylinder (B), remove the propane
cylinder. DONOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Install
a dierent propane cylinder and recheck for leaks
with a soap and water solution. If the leak persists,
remove the propane cylinder. DO NOT OPERATE THE
BARBECUE.
b) If the leak is at the regulator (C) or burner valve (D),
turn o the gas. NEVER ATTEMPT TO TIGHTEN THE
REGULATOR. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE.
If a leak is present, contact the Customer Service Team
using the contact information on our website.
4) If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete:
a) Rinse connections with water.
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.
