Do not use an open ﬂ ame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open ﬂ ames in the area while you check for leaks. Sparks or open ﬂ ames will result in a ﬁ re 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 ﬁ tting.

Note - All factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks. The burners have been ﬂ ametested. As a safety precaution however, you should recheck all ﬁ ttings for leaks before using your Weber® gas barbecue. Shipping and handling may loosen or damage a gas ﬁ tting.

barbecue was dealer or store assembled.

You will need: a soap and water solution, and a rag or brush to apply it.
