PRESERVE YOUR STAINLESS STEEL
Your grill or its cabinet, lid, control panel and shelves may be made from stainless steel.
To keep the stainless steel looking its best is a simple matter. Clean it with soap and
water, rinse with clear water, and wipe dry. For stubborn particles, a non-metallic brush
can be used.
m IMPORTANT: Do not use a wire brush or abrasive cleaners
on the stainless steel surfaces of your grill as this will cause
scratches.
m IMPORTANT: When cleaning surfaces be sure to rub/wipe in
the direction of the grain to preserve the look of your stainless
steel.

MAINTENANCE
PROBLEM CHECK SOLUTION
Side Burner does not light.
Some countries have regulators with an excess gas flow
safety device.
Is gas supply off?
The excess gas flow safety device, which is part of
the grill-to-cylinder connection, may have been
activated.
Turn gas supply on.
To reset the excess gas flow safety device close the LP tank
valve and turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position.
Open the grill and side burner lids. Slowly turn the LP tank
valve until it is completely open. Wait several seconds then
ignite your side burner. Refer to “SIDE BURNER IGNITION”.
Flame is low in HI position. Is the fuel hose bent or kinked? Straighten hose.
Push button ignition does not work. Does burner light with a match? If match lights burner, check igniter. Refer to “SIDE BURNER
MAINTENANCE”.
Is there a fresh battery installed? Verify that the battery is in good condition and installed correctly.
Refer to “ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM OPERATIONS.”
Are the wires connected properly to the igniter
module?
Be sure that wires are correctly inserted into terminals on
ignition box. Refer to “SIDE BURNER MAINTENANCE.”

SIDE BURNER TROUBLESHOOTING
WEBER
®
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 tubes. This blocks
the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the combustion air
opening. This could result in a fire in and around the combustion air openings, under the
control panel, causing serious damage to your grill.
The burner tube combustion air opening is fitted with a stainless steel screen (2)
to prevent spiders and other insects from accessing the burner tubes through the
combustion air openings.
We recommend that you inspect the spider/insect screens at least once a year. (Refer to
“ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.”) Also inspect and clean the spider/insect screens 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) One or more of the burners do not ignite.
m DANGER
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.
