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.
ƽ
WARNING: Check hose before each use of barbecue
for nicks, cracking, abrasions or cuts. If the hose is
found to be damaged in any way, do not use the
barbecue. Replace using only Weber authorized
replacement manifold assembly. Order from Weber-
Stephen Products Co., Customer Service Center or
authorized dealer.
■ 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.
ƽ WARNING: 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.
ƽ WARNING: 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.
Check:
a) Hose to manifold connection. Figure 7 (a).
b) Regulator to tank connection. Figure 7 (b).
ƽ
WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (a)
retighten the fitting with a wrench and recheck for
leaks with soap and water solution.
If a leak persists after retightening the fitting, turn OFF
the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact
Weber-Stephen Customer Service.
