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.
TEST CONNECTIONS
All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested for leaks in accordance with local
codes and all listed procedures in the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane
Storage and Handling Code, B149.2, or the Standard for Recreational Vehicles, ANSI A
119.2/NFPA 1192, and CSA Z240 RV Series, Recreational Vehicle Code, as applicable.
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.
CHECK SIDE BURNER COMPONENT
Check:
1)
Side burner lines to valve connections.
2)
Side burner line to side burner orifice.
3)
Side burner hose to side burner bulkhead.
WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (1, 2 or 3),
retighten the fitting with a wrench and recheck for leaks
with soap and water solution. If a leak persists after re-
tightening the fitting, turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE
THE GRILL OR SIDE BURNER. Contact the Customer Service
Representative in your area using the contact information on

GAS LEAK TESTING

.
DANGER

.
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® appliances. Shipping and handling may
loosen or damage a gas fitting.
WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your appliance
was dealer or store assembled.
You will need: a soap and water solution, and a rag or brush to apply it.
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.
Make sure side burner is OFF.
WARNING: Do not ignite burners when 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.
