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 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 from accessing 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 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) Barbecue does not reach temperature .
C) Barbecue 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.

PRESERVE YOUR STAINLESS STEEL
Your barbecue or its cabinet, lid, control panel and shelves may be made from stainless
steel . To keep the stainless steel looking its best is a simple matter . Clean it with soap
and water, rinse with clear water, and wipe dry . For stubborn particles, a non-metallic
brush can be used .
m IMPORTANT: Do not use a wire brush or abrasive cleaners
on the stainless steel surfaces of your barbecue as this will
cause scratches.

in the direction of the grain to preserve the look of your
stainless steel.
