WEBER SPIDER/INSECT SCREENS
Y
our Weber ® gas barbecue, as well as any outdoor gas appliance, is a target for spiders
and other insects. They can nest in the venturi section (1) of the burner tubes. This
blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the combustion air
opening. This could result in a fire in and around the combustion air openings, under the
control panel, causing serious damage to your barbecue.
The burner tube combustion air opening is fitted with a stainless steel screen (2) to
prevent spiders and other insects access to the burner tubes through the combustion air
openings.
We recommend that you inspect the Spider/Insect screens at least once a year.
(See Section "Annual Maintenance" .) Also inspect and clean the the Spider/Insect
screens if any of the following symptoms should ever occur:
1) The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow and lazy.
2) Barbecue does not reach temperature.
3) Barbecue heats unevenly.
4) One or more of the burners do not ignite.
Failure to correct the above mentioned symptoms may result
in a fire, which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and
cause damage to property.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
INSPECTION AND CLEANING OF THE SPIDER/INSECT SCREENS
To inspect the spider/insect screens, look under right swing-up table behind the control
knobs. If there is dust or dirt on the screens, remove the burners for cleaning the
screens (See section "Replacing Main Burners").
Brush the spider/inspect screens, lightly, with a soft bristle brush (i.e. an old toothbrush).
CAUTION: Do not clean the spider/insect screens with hard
or sharp tools. Do not dislodge the spider/insect screens or
enlarge the screen openings.
Lightly tap the burner to get debris and dirt out of the burner tube. Once the spider/
insect screens and burners are clean replace the burners.
If the 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 .
