ANNUAL MAINTENANCE

To keep your WEBER gas grill 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 grill 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 grill 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
grill.
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 grill, 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.
• Grill does not reach desired temperature
• Grill heats unevenly
• One or more of the burner(s) do not ignite
