Preparing To Use Your Grill; Checking For Gas Leaks; What Is A Leak Check - Weber Q 1000 Mode D'emploi

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 fi tting.

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.
m WARNING: Do not ignite burner when
leak checking.
B) 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 (1).
m WARNING: If there is a leak at
connection (1), 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

rinsed with water after checking for leaks.
