Weber Spider Stopper Guards

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 of the burner tubes. This blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the air shutter. Figure 8. This could result in a fire in and around the air shutters, under the control panel, causing serious damage to your barbecue.

If the flames do not appear to be uniform the length of the burner tube, follow the burner cleaning procedures.

The Weber Spider Stopper Guard is factory installed. It fits tightly around the air shutter section of the burner tube and the valve, thereby preventing spiders and other insects access to the burner tubes through the air shutter openings. Figure 9.

We recommend that you inspect the Weber Spider Stopper Guards at least once a year. (See Section “Annual Maintenance”.) Also inspect and clean the Spider Stopper Guards 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.

mDANGER

Failure to correct these symptoms may result in a fire which can cause serious bodily injury or death and cause damage to property.

Main Burner Cleaning Procedure

Turn off the gas supply. Remove the manifold. (See Section “Replacing the main burners”.)

Look inside each burner with a flashlight. Figure 11.

Figure 12

Clean the inside of the burners with a wire (a straightened out coat hanger will work). Figure 12. Check and clean the air shutter opening at the ends of the burners. Check and clean the valve orifices at the base of the valves. Use a brass bristle brush to clean outside of burners. This is to make sure all the burner ports are fully open.

Figure 13

mCAUTION: Do not enlarge the burner ports when cleaning.
