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 flame pattern. 
Clean if necessary, following the procedures 
outlined in the “General Maintenance” section of 
this manual.
• Check all gas fittings for leaks.
 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 recheck 
all fittings for leaks before using your Weber
®
 
gas grill. Shipping and handling may have 
loosened or damaged a gas fitting.
 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 propane cylinder 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 
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.
 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 
onto www.weber.com

When leak checks are complete, turn gas supply 
OFF at the source and rinse connections 
with water.
