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 and burner tube
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 in your WEBER gas grill was factory set for
the correct air and gas mixture. The correct flame pattern
is shown in illustration and described below:
Burner tube (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 has become dirty or blocked.
WEBER SPIDER/INSECT SCREEN
The combustion air opening of the burner tube (5) is fitted
with a stainless steel screen to help prevent spiders and
other insects from spinning webs and building nests
inside (6) the burner tube. These nests can obstruct the
normal gas flow, and can cause gas to flow back out of
the combustion air opening (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 in and around the gas valve, causing
serious damage to your grill (8).
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
•
Burner does not ignite
