WEBER® SPIDER / INSECT SCREEN |
|
Your Weber® gas fi replace, 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 tube. This blocks the normal gas fl ow, and can cause the gas to fl ow |
|
back out of the air shutter. This could result in a fi re, causing serious damage |
|
to your fi replace. |
|
Thus, it is imperative that control compartment, burners and air vents |
|
of the appliance be kept clean. |
|
The burner tube air shutter is fi tted with a stainless steel screen (1) 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. (See Section “Annual Maintenance”.) Also inspect and clean |
|
the Spider/Insect screen if any of the following symptoms should ever |
|
occur: |
|
1) The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner fl ame appearing yellow |
|
and lazy. |
|
2) Burner does not ignite. |
|
DANGER | (1) |
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. |
