PREPARING TO USE YOUR GRILL
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 that 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: 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.
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.)
1. Make sure burner control knob is turned off by
pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off ( )
position.
m WARNING: Do not ignite burner when leak
checking.
2. 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. Regulator-to-cylinder connection (A).
m WARNING: If there is a leak at connection
(A), remove propane cylinder. DO NOT
OPERATE THE GRILL. Install a different
propane cylinder and recheck for
leaks with soap and water solution.
If a leak persists after installing a
different propane cylinder, remove
propane cylinder. DO NOT OPERATE THE
GRILL. Contact the Customer Service
Representative in your area using the
contact information on our website.

3. 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.

REPLACEMENT HOSE,
REGULATOR AND VALVE ASSEMBLY
m IMPORTANT NOTICE:
We recommend that you replace the gas
hose assembly on your WEBER gas grill
every five years. Some countries may
have requirements that the gas hose be
replaced within less than five years, in
which case that country's requirement
would take precedence.
For replacement hose, regulator, and
valve assemblies, contact the Customer
Service Representative in your area
using the contact information on our
web site.
