Check The Flexible Hose To Manifold Connection; Check For Gas Leaks - Weber SPIRIT 89839 Guia Del Propietario

CHECK THE FLEXIBLE HOSE TO MANIFOLD CONNECTION

The natural gas hose has been attached during the manuafacturing process. We
do recommend that the hose to gas manifold connnection be leak tested, following
guidelines in this Owner's Guide, prior to barbecue operation.

CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS

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.
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
may loosen or damage a gas fitting.
WARNING: Perform these leak checks even if your barbecue
was dealer or store assembled.
You will need: a soap and water solution, and a rag or brush to apply it.
Make sure side burner is off (See LEAK CHECK PREPARATION). Remove valve
control knob and screws. Remove porcelain top.
To perform leak checks: Slide back the collar of the quick disconnect (1). Push male
fitting of the hose into the quick disconnect, and maintain pressure. Slide the collar
closed (2). If it does not engage or lock, repeat procedure. Gas will not flow unless the
quick disconnect is properly engaged.
Turn on gas supply.
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.
WARNING: Do not ignite burners when leak checking.
Check:
1) Side burner hose to side burner valve connection
2) Hose to manifold connection.
3) Side aburner hose to manifold connection
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 retightening the
fitting, turn off the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact
