Your Weber
®
gas grill is a portable outdoor
cooking appliance. With the Weber
®
gas grill you
can grill, grill, roast and bake with results that are
difficult to duplicate with indoor kitchen appliances.
The closed lid produces that “outdoor” flavor in the
food.
The Weber
®
gas grill is portable so you can easily
change its location in your yard or on your patio.
Portability means you can take your Weber
®
gas
grill with, if you move. Propane gas supply is easy
to use and gives you more cooking control than
charcoal fuel.

Weber

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 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 grill.
The burner tube air shutter is fitted with a
stainless steel screen(1) to prevent spiders and
other insects access to the burner tube through
the air shutter openings. We recommend that you
inspect the Spider/Insect screen at least once a
year. Also inspect and clean the the Spider/Insect
screen 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) Grill does not reach temperature.
3) Grill heats unevenly.
4) Burner does not
ignite.
Storage and/or Nonuse
• When the Weber
®
gas grill is not in use, the
propane cylinder must be DISCONNECTED
and the propane cylinder stored outdoors in
a well-ventilated space. Place dust caps on
cylinder valve outlets when cylinder is not in use.
• The Weber
®
gas grill should be checked for
gas leaks and any obstructions in the burner
tubes before using. (See Sections: “General
Maintenance and Annual Maintenance.”)
• The Spider/Insect Screen should also be
checked for any obstructions. (See Section:
“Annual Maintenance.”)
