KEEPING YOUR
WEBER® GRILL IN
TIP-TOP SHAPE
mDANGER
Failure to correct any problems described on this page may result in a fire, which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and cause damage to property.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
To keep your Weber® gas grill performing as safely and efficiently as on day one, we strongly recommend that you inspect and clean the spider/insect screen(s) and burner tube(s) at least once a year. Below is important information about these two areas of the grill that should undergo annual maintenance.
If you observe an incorrect flame pattern or blocked burner port, proceed to the “BURNER TUBE CLEANING OR REPLACEMENT” instructions on the following page.
BURNER FLAME PATTERN
The burner tube(s) in your Weber® gas grill was/were factory set for the correct air and gas mixture. The correct flame pattern is shown in illustration and described below:
•Burner tube(s) (1)
•Tips occasionally flicker yellow (2)
•Light blue (3)
•Dark blue (4)
Check burner flame pattern. If the flames do not match the above description, it could be an indication that the spider/ insect screen(s) has/have become dirty or blocked.
WEBER® SPIDER/INSECT SCREEN(S)
The combustion air opening(s) of the burner tube(s) (5) is/are fitted with stainless steel screen(s) to help prevent spiders and other insects from spinning webs and building nests inside the venturi section (6) of the burner tube(s). These nests can obstruct the normal gas flow, and can cause gas to flow back out of the combustion air opening(s) (7). Symptoms of this kind of obstruction include the odor of gas in conjunction with burner flames that appear yellow and lazy. This obstruction could result in a fire (8) in and around the gas valve(s), causing serious damage to your grill.
NOTE: If a spider/insect screen becomes damaged or cannot be cleaned, please contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our web site. Log onto www.weber.com®.
BURNER TUBE PORTS
Over time, from repeated use of the grill, the burner tube ports will become dirty. Blocked and dirty ports can restrict full gas flow. Following are ways to determine whether burner tube ports are dirty or blocked.
•Grill does not reach desired temperature
•Grill heats unevenly
•One or more of the burner(s) do not ignite
