SPIDER/INSECT SCREENS
Your Weber
®
gas grill, 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 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) Gas is smelled in conjunction with burner flames that appear yellow and lazy.
B) Grill does not reach temperature.
C) Grill heats unevenly.
D) Burner does not ignite.

correctly. Refer to “BEFORE USING THE BARBECUE.”

electrode?
Check that the burner tube is positioned correctly to the
igniter electrode. Refer to “MAINTENANCE.”
