SPIDER/INSECT SCREENS

®
Your Weber ® gas grill, 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 grill .
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.
(Refer to "ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.") Also inspect and clean the the spider/insect
screens if any of the following symptoms should ever occur:
A) Gas is smelled in conjunction with burner flames that appear yellow and lazy .
B) Grill does not reach temperature .
C) Grill heats unevenly .
D) One or more of the burners do not ignite .
m DANGER
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.

BURNER TUBE CLEANING

A) Turn off the gas supply .
B) Remove the manifold . (Refer to "REPLACING MAIN BURNERS . " )
C) Look inside each burner with a flashlight .
D) Clean the inside of the burners with a wire (a straightened-out coat hanger will also
work) . Check and clean the air shutter opening at the ends of the burners . Check
and clean the valve orifices at the base of the valves . Use a steel bristle brush to
clean outside of burners . This is to make sure all the burner ports are fully open .
m CAUTION: Do not enlarge the burner ports when cleaning.
