Spider/Insect screens
Your Vieluxe
®
gas grill, as well as any outdoor gas appliance, is a target
for spiders and other insects. They can nest in the Venturi (1) section of
the burner tubes. This blocks the normal gas flow and can cause the
gas to flow back out of the air shutter. This could result in a fire in and
around the air shutters under the control panel, causing serious
damage to your grill.
ƽ DANGER
Failure to correct these symptoms may result in a fire which can cause serious bodily
injury or death and cause damage to property.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Inspection and cleaning of the Spider/Insect screens
To inspect the Spider/Insect screens, remove the control panel. If there is dust or dirt on the screens, remove the
burners for cleaning the screens. Refer to Maintenance, Replacing Main Burners. Brush the spider/inspect
screens, lightly, with a soft bristle brush (i.e. an old toothbrush).
ƽCAUTION: Do not clean the Spider/Insect screens with hard or sharp tools. Do not dislodge the
Spider/Insect screens or enlarge the screen openings.
Lightly tap the burner to get debris and dirt out of the burner tube. Once the Spider/Insect screens and burners are
clean replace the burners.
If the Spider/Insect screen becomes damaged or cannot be cleaned, call Customer Service toll free at

for replacement parts.
The burner tube air shutter is fitted with a stainless steel screen (2) to
prevent spiders and other insects access to the burner tubes through the
air shutter openings.
We recommend that you inspect the Spider/Insect screens at least
once a year. Also inspect and clean the Spider/Insect screens 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. Grill does not reach temperature.
3. Grill heats unevenly.
4. One or more of the burners do not ignite.
