Cleaning the Cookbox
Look inside the cookbox for any grease accumulation
or leftover food particles. Excessive accumulation can
cause a fire.
1) Use a plastic scraper to scrape debris off the sides
and bottom of the grill into the opening in bottom of
the cookbox (G). This opening leads debris into the
slide-out catch pan.
Cleaning the Grease Management System
The grease management system consists of an angled
slide-out grease tray and a catch pan (H). These
components were designed to be easily removed,
cleaned, and replaced; an essential step every time
you prepare to grill. Instructions on inspecting the
grease management system can be found in MEAL-TO-
MEAL MAINTENANCE.
Cleaning the Outside of the Grill
The outside of your grill may include stainless steel,
porcelain-enameled, and plastic surfaces. WEBER
recommends the following methods based on the
surface type.
Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces
Clean stainless steel using a non-toxic, non-abrasive
stainless steel cleaner or polish designed for use on
outdoor products and grills. Use a microfiber cloth to
clean in the direction of the grain of the stainless steel.
Do not use paper towels.
Note: Do not risk scratching your stainless steel with
abrasive pastes. Pastes do not clean or polish. They
will change the color of the metal by removing the top
chromium oxide film coating.
Cleaning Painted, Porcelain-Enameled
Surfaces and Plastic Components
Clean painted, porcelain-enameled and plastic
components with warm soapy water, and paper towels
or cloth. After wiping down the surfaces, rinse and dry
thoroughly.
Cleaning the Outside of Grills that are in
Unique Environments
If your grill is subject to a particularly harsh
environment, you will want to clean the outside more
often. Acid rain, pool chemicals, and salt water can
cause surface rusting to appear. Wipe down the
outside of your grill with warm soapy water. Follow
up with a rinse and thorough drying. Additionally, you
may want to apply a stainless steel cleaner weekly to
prevent surface rust.
Cleaning the Inside of the Cabinet
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the interior of the
cabinet. Be careful not to pull any of the wire
connections when cleaning around the electronic
components
CAUTION: NEVER SPRAY THE GRILL WITH A
STEADY WATER STREAM SUCH AS FROM A
GARDEN HOSE OR POWER WASHER. ELECTRONIC
COMPONENTS COULD BECOME DAMAGED.

THERMOMETER
Small and relatively inexpensive,
this gadget is essential for quickly
gauging the internal temperature
of the meat when grilling.
FOIL PANS
Perfect for lining the
catch pan to make cleanup
convenient and easy.
GRILL BRUSH
A must-use before you even dream
of grilling. A quick once-over on hot
grates prevents the charred remains
of meals past from sticking to
your meals present.
