Beautiful Inside and OUT, Routine Maintenance

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.

mWARNING: 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 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.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

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.

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

C)Brush any debris off of 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.

mCAUTION: 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.

mWARNING: 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).

mWARNING: 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 in your area using the contact information on our web site.
