WEBER ® 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 access to the burner tubes through the combustion
air
openings.
We recommend
that you inspect the Spider/insect
screens
at meast once a year.
(See Section "Annual
Maintenance".)
Also inspect and clean the the Spider/Insect
screens
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)
Barbecue
does not reach temperature.
3)
Barbecue

4)
One or more of the burners do not ignite.
DANGER
FaiJure to correct the above mentioned
symptoms
may result
in a fire, which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and
cause damage to property.
