CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE GRILL
To keep the outside of your grill looking its best, use the
following guidelines for safe cleaning.
WARNING: Turn your Weber
®
gas
grill off and wait for it to cool before
cleaning it.
Painted, Enamelled and Plastic Surfaces
Use a warm, soapy water solution to clean outside
surfaces; then rinse with water.
IMPORTANT: Do not use cleaners that contain acid,
mineral spirits or xylene. Do not use oven cleaner,
abrasive cleaning agents (kitchen cleaning agents),
cleaners that contain citrus products, or abrasive
cleaning pads on grill or cart surfaces.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
Your grill or its cabinet, lid, and control panel may be
made of stainless steel. Wash outside surfaces with a soft
cloth and a soap-and-water solution, rinse with water, and
wipe dry.
For stubborn particles, a non-metallic brush can be used.
Scrub stainless steel surfaces in the direction of the grain.
IMPORTANT: Rinse surfaces well after cleaning. Do
not use a wire brush or abrasive cleaners on the
stainless steel surfaces of your grill as this will cause
scratches. When cleaning stainless steel, be sure to
rub/wipe in the direction of the grain.
CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE GRILL
To keep your grill performing safely and efficiently, it is
important to remove any debris and excess grease that
may have accumulated on the inside of the grill. Use the
following guidelines for safe cleaning.
Inside Lid
Flaking, built-up grease resembles paint flakes. Wipe
inside lid with paper towel to prevent grease build-up.
Wash inside lid with warm, soapy water; then rinse
with water.
Cookbox
Wash inside cookbox with warm, soapy water; then rinse
with water.
Cookbox Components
You will need: A stainless steel bristle brush, stiff plastic
scraper.
A) Scrape and brush the cooking grates with the scraper
and brush. Remove the cooking grates and set aside.
B) Scrape and brush the Flavorizer
®
bars with the
scraper and brush. As needed, wash them with
warm, soapy water; then rinse with water. Remove
Flavorizer
®
bars and set aside.
CAUTION: Do not clean Flavorizer
®
bars or cooking grates in a self-
cleaning oven.
C) Brush any debris off burner tubes and Crossover ®
tube. Do not enlarge burner ports (openings) running
along length of burner and Crossover
®
tubes (1) .
NOTE: When cleaning burner tube 1, avoid damaging
the igniter electrode by carefully brushing around it.
D) When cleaning is complete, replace the Flavorizer ®
bars and cooking grates.
Slide-Out Grease Tray
Your grill was built with a grease collection system,
which funnels grease away from food and into removable
containers.
Check the slide-out grease tray for grease build-up each
time you use your grill. Remove excess grease with a
plastic scraper
(2)
. Wash the grease tray with a soap-and-
water solution and rinse with water.
CAUTION: Do not line the slide-out
grease tray with aluminium foil.
Catch Pan and Disposable Drip Pan
Grease from the slide-out grease tray funnels into a
catch pan. Cleaning the catch pan is just as important as
cleaning the slide-out grease tray.
Check the catch pan for grease build-up each time you
use your grill. Remove excess grease with a plastic
scraper
(3) . Wash the catch pan with warm, soapy water
and rinse with water. To keep the catch pan cleaner
longer, you can line the catch pan with a Weber
®
disposable drip pan or with aluminium foil.
WARNING: Check the slide-out grease
tray and catch pan for grease build-
up each time before using. Remove
excess grease to avoid a grease fire.
A grease fire can cause serious bodily
injury or damage to property.
HOSE INSPECTION
The hose should be inspected routinely for any signs of
cracking
(4) .
WARNING: Check hose each time
before using grill for nicks, cracking,
abrasions or cuts. If the hose is found
to be damaged in any way, do not use
the grill. Replace using only Weber
®
authorised replacement hose. Contact
the Customer Service Representative
in your area using the contact
information on our web site.
