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
fl ow, and can cause the
gas to fl ow back out of
the air shutter. This could
result in a fi re in and
around the air shutter,
causing serious damage
to your grill.
The burner tube air shutter is fi tted with a
stainless steel screen
(1)
to prevent spiders
and other insects access to the burner tube
through the air shutter openings. We rec-
ommend that you inspect the Spider/Insect
screen at least once a year. Also inspect and
clean the Spider/Insect screen if any of the fol-
lowing symptoms should ever occur:
1) The smell of gas in conjunction with the
burner fl ames appearing yellow and lazy.
2) Grill does not reach temperature.
DANGER
Failure to correct the
above mentioned
symptoms may result
in a fi re, which can
cause serious bodily
injury or death, and
cause damage to
property.

(1)
3) Grill
heats
unevenly.
4) One or more
of the burn-
ers do not
ignite.
Annual Maintenance
Inspection and cleaning of the Spider/Insect
screen.
To inspect the spider/insect screen, remove
the control panel. If there is dust or dirt on the
screen, remove the burner for cleaning the
screen. Brush the spider/inspect screen, lightly,
with a soft bristle brush (i.e. an old toothbrush).
CAUTION: Do not clean the spider/insect
screen with hard or sharp tools. Do not
dislodge the spider/insect screen or
enlarge the screen openings.
Lightly tap the burner to get debris and dirt
out of the burner tube. Once the spider/insect
screen and burner is clean replace the burner.
If the spider/insect screen becomes damaged
or cannot be cleaned, call Weber-Stephen
Products Customer Service for replacement
parts.
