Preparing To Use Your Grill; What Is A Leak Check; Checking For Gas Leaks - Weber 1200 Guide Du Propriétaire

WHAT IS A LEAK CHECK?

The fuel system in your grill
features connections and
fittings. A leak check is a
reliable way to make sure that
no gas is escaping from any of
the connections or fittings.
Although all factory-made
connections have been
thoroughly checked for gas
leaks, it's important to perform
a leak check before using your
grill for the first time, as well
as anytime you disconnect
and reconnect a fitting and
each time you perform routine
maintenance.
m 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.
Sparks or open flames will result in a fire or
explosion, which can cause serious bodily
injury or death and damage to property.
m WARNING: The gas connections of your
gas grill have been factory tested. We do,
however, recommend that you leak check
all gas connections before operating your
gas grill.
m WARNING: Perform these leak checks
even if your grill was dealer or store
assembled.
m 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 and the burner has been flame-tested.
As a safety precaution, however, you should check all fittings
for leaks before using your WEBER gas grill. Shipping and
handling may loosen or damage a gas fitting.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR GRILL

CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS

You will need: A spray bottle or brush or rag and a soap and
water solution. (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.)
A) Make sure burner control knob is turned off by pushing
it in and turning it clockwise to the off ( ) position (1).
B) Turn gas supply on at the source.
m WARNING: Do not ignite burner when leak
checking.
C) To check for leaks, wet fittings with the soap and water
solution, using a spray bottle, brush or rag. If bubbles
form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak. Apply the
soap and water solution to the following connections:
a) Burner valve-to-Quick-Connec fitting connection
(2).
b) Quick-Connect-to-LP Hose (3).
m WARNING: If there is a leak at any of the
connections (2 and 3), turn off gas. DO
NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the
Customer Service Representative in your
area using the contact information on our
web site.

D) When leak checking is complete, 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.
Now you are ready to use your grill.
