If you smell gas while using your Weber Spirit grill, follow these safety steps immediately:
Steps to Take
- Shut Off the Gas Supply:
- Turn off the gas supply at the LPG cylinder.
- Extinguish Any Open Flames:
- Ensure all flames on the grill are extinguished.
- Open the Lid:
- Open the grill lid to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate.
- Move Away from the Grill:
- Keep a safe distance from the grill.
- Check for Gas Leaks:
- Perform a leak check using a soap and water solution on all gas connections (e.g., regulator-to-cylinder, gas hose-to-bulkhead, bulkhead-to-corrugated gas line). If bubbles appear, there is a leak.
- Contact Your Gas Supplier or Emergency Services:
- If the gas smell persists or you hear a hissing sound, do not attempt to fix the issue yourself. Immediately contact your gas supplier or emergency fire services for assistance.
Important Safety Warnings
- Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.
- Do not operate the grill if there is a gas leak.
- Never store a spare LPG cylinder under or near the grill.
- Do not attempt to disconnect the gas regulator or hose assembly while the grill is in operation.
By following these steps, you can ensure your safety and prevent potential hazards.
