BEAUTIFUL—
INSIDE AND OUT
Weber
grill owners take a
®
lot of pride in their grills, and
with good reason: our grills
are marvels of engineering
and design. Flaunt your
pride and joy. Keep your grill
clean and beautiful—inside
and out—by following these
routine maintenance steps.
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
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 oven cleaner, abrasive
cleansers (kitchen cleansers), 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: Do not clean stainless steel with
anything containing acid, mineral spirits, or xylene.
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 of lid with paper towel to prevent grease build-
up. Wash inside lid with warm, soapy water; then rinse
with water.
Cookbox
Wash inside of cookbox with warm, soapy water; then
rinse with water.

m CAUTION: Do not clean Flavorizer
bars or cooking grates in a self-
cleaning oven.

tube. Do not enlarge burner ports (openings) running
along length of burner and Crossover
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.
m CAUTION: Do not line the slide-out
grease tray with aluminum 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 aluminum foil.
m WARNING: Check the slide-out grease
tray and catch 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.
HOSE INSPECTION
The hose should be inspected routinely for any signs of
cracking (4).
m WARNING: Check hose before each
use of 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
authorized replacement hose. Contact
the Customer Service Representative
