thoroughly checked for gas leaks. The burners have been
flame tested. As a safety precaution you should recheck
all fittings for leaks before using your Weber Gas
Barbecue. Shipping and handling may have loosened or
damaged a gas fitting.

to apply it.

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.
