KEEPING YOUR
WEBER
BARBECUE IN
®
TIP-TOP SHAPE
m DANGER
Failure to correct any problems described
on this page may result in a fire, which can
cause serious bodily injury or death, and
cause damage to property.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
To keep your Weber
gas barbecue performing as safely
®
and efficiently as on day one, we strongly recommend
that you inspect and clean the spider/insect screen(s) and
burner tube(s) at least once a year. Below is important
information about these two areas of the barbecue that
should undergo annual maintenance.
If you observe an incorrect flame pattern or blocked
burner port, proceed to the "BURNER TUBE CLEANING
OR REPLACEMENT" instructions on the following page.
BURNER FLAME PATTERN
The burner tube(s) in your Weber
gas barbecue was/
®
were factory set for the correct air and gas mixture.
The correct flame pattern is shown in illustration and
described below:
Burner tube(s) (1)
•
•
Tips occasionally flicker yellow (2)
Light blue (3)
•
•
Dark blue (4)
Check burner flame pattern. If the flames do not match
the above description, it could be an indication that the
spider/insect screen(s) has/have become dirty or blocked.
WEBER
SPIDER/INSECT SCREEN(S)
®
The combustion air opening(s) of the burner tube(s) (5)
is/are fitted with stainless steel screen(s) to help prevent
spiders and other insects from spinning webs and
building nests inside the venturi section (6) of the burner
tube(s). These nests can obstruct the normal gas flow,
and can cause gas to flow back out of the combustion
air opening(s) (7). Symptoms of this kind of obstruction
include the odor of gas in conjunction with burner flames
that appear yellow and lazy. This obstruction could result
in a fire (8) in and around the gas valve(s), causing serious
damage to your barbecue.
NOTE: If a spider/insect screen becomes damaged or
cannot be cleaned, please contact the Customer Service
Representative in your area using the contact information on
our web site. Log onto www.weber.com
BURNER TUBE PORTS
Over time, from repeated use of the barbecue, the burner
tube ports will become dirty. Blocked and dirty ports can
restrict full gas flow. Following are ways to determine
whether burner tube ports are dirty or blocked.
•
Barbecue does not reach desired temperature
•
Barbecue heats unevenly
•
One or more of the burner(s) do not ignite
