MAINTENANCE

WEBER® SPIDER/INSECT SCREENS
Your Weber® gas grill, as well as any outdoor gas appliance, is a target for spiders and	1
other insects. They can nest in the venturi section (1) of the burner tube. This blocks the
	2
normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the air shutter. This could
result in a fire in and around the air shutter, causing serious damage to your grill.
The burner tube air shutter is fitted with a stainless steel screen (2) to prevent spiders
and other insects access to the burner tube through the air shutter openings.
We recommend that you inspect the Spider/Insect screen at least once a year.
Refer to “Annual Maintenance.” Also inspect and clean the the Spider/Insect
screen if any of the following symptoms should ever occur:
A) The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow and lazy.	1
B) Grill does not reach temperature.
C) Grill heats unevenly.
D) Burner does not ignite.	2
