BEAUTIFUL—
INSIDE AND OUT
WEBER grill owners take a
lot of pride in their grills.
Flaunt your pride and joy. Keep
your grill clean and beautiful—
inside and out—by following
these routine maintenance
steps.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE GRILL
To keep the outside of your grill looking its best, use the
following guidelines for safe cleaning.
m WARNING: Turn your WEBER gas grill off
and wait for it to cool before cleaning it.
Painted, Enameled 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 cleansers (kitchen cleansers), cleaners that
contain citrus products, or abrasive cleaning pads on
grill or cart surfaces.
Fold-out tables (Q 1200, Q 2000, Q 2200) are not to be
used as cutting boards.
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
of lid with paper towel to prevent grease build-up. Wash
inside lid with warm, soapy water; then rinse with water.
Cookbox Components & Burner Tube
You will need: A stainless steel bristle brush, and a stiff
plastic scraper.
A) Scrape and brush the cooking grates with the scraper
and brush. Remove the cooking grates and set aside.
m CAUTION: Grill brushes should be checked
for loose bristles and excessive wear on a
regular basis. Replace brush if any loose
bristles are found on cooking grates or
brush. WEBER recommends purchasing
a new stainless steel grill brush at the
beginning of every spring.
m CAUTION: Do not clean cooking grates in a
self-cleaning oven.
B) Brush any debris off of burner tube. Do not enlarge
burner ports (openings) running along length of burner
tube (1).
C) When cleaning is complete, replace the cooking grates.
Cookbox
Wash inside of cookbox with warm, soapy water; then rinse
with water.
Removable Catch Pan and Disposable Drip Pan
Your grill was built with a grease collection system, which
funnels grease away from food and into a removable catch
pan. For your convenience, you can also line the removable
catch pan with a WEBER disposable drip pan, which will
help keep the removable catch pan cleaner longer.
Cleaning the removable catch pan is just as important
as cleaning the cookbox. Check the removable catch pan
for grease build-up each time you use your grill. Remove
excess grease with a plastic scraper (2). Wash the
removable catch pan with warm, soapy water and rinse
with water.
m WARNING: Check the removable catch pan
or disposable drip pan for grease build-up
before each use. Remove excess grease
to avoid a grease fire. A grease fire can
cause serious bodily injury or damage to
property.
m CAUTION: Do not line the cookbox,
removable catch pan or disposable drip
pan with aluminum foil.
