Weber Spider Stopper" Guard Your Weber Genesis Gas Barbecue, as well as any outdoor gas appliance, is a target for spiders and other insects. They can nest in the venturi section of the burner tubes. This blocks the normal gas flow which can cause the gas to flow out of the air shutter instead of into the burner. Figure 1. This could result in a fire in and around the air shutters, under the control panel, causing serious damage to your barbecue. We have developed the Weber Spider Stopper Guards to significantly reduce the chance of this happening to your Weber Genesis Gas Barbecue. The Weber Spider Stopper Guard is factory installed. It fits tightly around the air shutter section of the burner tube and the valve, thereby preventing spiders and other insects access to the burner tubes through the air shutter openings. Figure 2. We recommend that you inspect the Weber Spider Stopper Guards at least once a year. (See section "Annual Maintenance".) Also inspect and clean the Spider Stopper Guards if any of the following symptoms should ever occur. 1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow and lazy. 2. Barbecue does not reach temperature. 3. Barbecue heats unevenly. 4. One or more of the burners do not ignite. DANGER Failure to correct these symptoms may result in a fire which can cause serious bodily injury or death and cause damage to property.
