Checking For Gas Leaks - Weber Genesis II LX E-240 Manuel Du Propriétaire

What is a Leak Check?
Once the LP tank is properly installed, it is necessary
to perform a leak check. A leak check is a reliable way
to verify that gas is not escaping after you connect the
tank. The fitting where the regulator connects to the
tank should be tested each time a tank is refilled and
reinstalled.

Checking for Gas Leaks

1) Wet fittings (G) with a soap and water solution,
using a spray bottle, brush, or rag. 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.
2) Slowly open gas supply by turning tank valve
counterclockwise while checking for bubbles.
3) If bubbles appear there is a leak:
a) If the leak is at the cylinder (H), turn off the gas.
DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Disconnect the
tank and return the tank to your local retailer.
b) If the leak is at the regulator (I), turn off the
gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the
Customer Service Representative in your area
using the contact information on our website.
4) If bubbles do not appear, leak checking is complete:
a) Turn gas supply off at the tank and 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.
Additional Leak Check Precautions
The fuel system in your grill features other
connections and fittings. These factory-made
connections have been thoroughly checked for gas
leaks and the burners have been flame-tested.
However, it is recommended that a thorough leak
check be performed annually. Instructions for this can
be found online at weber.com.
