WEBER SPIDER/INSECT SCREENS
®
Your 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 tube. This blocks
the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the air shutter. This could
result in a fire in and around the air shutter, causing serious damage to your barbecue.
The burner tube air shutter is fitted with a stainless steel screen (2) to prevent spiders
and other insects from accessing the burner tubes through the air shutter openings.
We recommend that you inspect the Spider/Insect screen at least once a year.
Refer to "ANNUAL MAINTENANCE." Also inspect and clean the the Spider/Insect
screen if any of the following symptoms should ever occur:
A) The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow and lazy.
B) Barbecue does not reach temperature.
C) Barbecue heats unevenly.
D) Burner does not ignite.
Failure to correct symptoms may result in a fire, which can
cause serious bodily injury or death, and cause damage to
property.
