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 least 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 heats unevenly. |
|
4) | One or more of the burners do not ignite. |
|
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.
