Inspection and Cleaning of the Weber Spider
Stopper Guards
To inspect the Spider Stopper Guards, remove the control
panel and look to see if they have dust or dirt on their outside
surfaces. If they are dirty, brush off the outside surface of the
Spider Stopper Guards with a soft bristle brush (an old
toothbrush for example). Check that there are no gaps in the
Spider Stopper Guards’ seams or in the fit around the
burners or valves. (See Section "General Maintenance".)
Annual Maintenance
After a period of nonuse we recommend that you perform
the following maintenance procedures for your safety.
ƽWARNING: Check gas supply line before each use
of barbecue for nicks or cracking. If the gas supply
line is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the
barbecue. Replace using only Weber authorized
replacement gas supply line. Order from Weber-
Stephen Products Co., Customer Service Center.
ƽCaution: If the barbecue gas supply line is damaged
in any way or leaking, do not use the barbecue.
■ Inspect the burners for correct flame pattern. Clean if
necessary, following the procedures outlined in the
"General Maintenance" section of this manual.
■ Check all gas fittings for leaks.
ƽ DANGER
Do not use an open flame to check for gas
leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open
flames in the area while you check for
leaks. This will result in a fire or explosion
which can cause serious bodily injury or
death, and damage to property.

When leak checks are complete, see steps “Add side
panels” and “Add base panel” to reinstall. Turn gas supply
OFF at the source and rinse connections with water.
ƽWARNING: You should check for gas leaks every
time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.
You will need: a soap and water solution and a rag or
brush to apply it.
To perform leak checks: Make sure all burners are in the
OFF position. Turn on gas supply.
Refer to the steps “Add side panels” and “Add base panel”
to remove the panels to expose the gas supply line for
leak checking.
ƽWARNING: Do not ignite burners while leak checking.
Check for leaks by wetting the connections with the soap
and water solution and watching for bubbles. If bubbles
form or if a bubble grows there is a leak.
Note - Since some leak test solutions, including soap and
water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections should be
rinsed with water after checking for leaks.
