Burners burn with a yellow or
orange flame, in conjunction with
the smell of gas. Inspect Weber ® Insect/Spider
Screens for possible obstructions.
(Blockage of holes.)
Clean Weber ® Insect/Spider
Screens. (See Section “Annual
Maintenance”)
Burner does not light, or flame is
low in HIGH position. Is fuel hose bent or kinked?
Does the Front burner light with a
match?
Straighten fuel hose.
If you can light the Front burner with
a match, then check the Crossover
®
ignition system.
Experiencing flare-ups:
ƽ CAUTION: Do not line the
bottom tray with aluminum foil.
Are you preheating barbecue in the
prescribed manner?
Are the cooking grates and
Flavorizer
® bars heavily coated with
burned-on grease?
Is the bottom tray “dirty” and not
allowing grease to flow into catch
pan?
All burners on high for 10 to 15
minutes for preheating.
Clean thoroughly. (See Section
“Cleaning”)

Burner flame pattern is erratic.
Flame is low when burner is on
HIGH. Flames do not run the
whole length of the burner tube. Are burners clean? Clean burners. (See Section
“Maintenance”.)
Inside of lid appears to be
“peeling.” (Resembles paint
peeling.) The lid is porcelain-on-steel, not
paint. It cannot “peel”. What you are
seeking is baked on grease that has
turned to carbon and is flaking off.
THIS IS NOT A DEFECT. Clean thoroughly. (See Section
“Cleaning”.)
