which can cause serious bodily injury or
death and damage to property.
Inspection and Cleaning of the Weber
Spider Stopper Guards
To inspect the Spider Stopper Guards, remove the
control panel and look to see if they have dust or dirt on
their outside surfaces. If they are dirty, brush off the
outside surface of the Spider Stopper Guards with a soft
bristle brush (an old toothbrush for example). Check that
there are no gaps in the Spider Stopper Guards’ seams
or in the fit around the burners or valves. (See Section
"General Maintenance".)
