MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE GRILL
Cleaning the inside of your grill before each use
is essential to keep your grill operating at peak
performance for years to come.
m WARNING: Wait for grill to cool before giving it a
thorough cleaning.
Cleaning the Lid
From time to time you may notice "paint-like" flakes
on the inside of the grill lid. During use, grease and
smoke vapors slowly change into carbon and deposit
on the inside of your lid. This deposit will eventually
peel, and looks very similar to paint. These deposits
are non-toxic, but the flakes could fall onto your food
if you do not clean the lid regularly.
You will need: A non-abrasive, nylon mesh scrubbing
pad and a paper towel.
1. Scrub the carbonized grease on the inside of the
grill lid with a scrubbing pad (A). To minimize
future grease buildup, wipe the inside of the lid
with a paper towel after each use; do so when the
grill is warm (not hot) to the touch.
Cleaning the Grates & Diffuser Plate
If you have been cleaning your cooking grates
routinely after preheating, the debris on them should
be minimal. You should also make an effort to keep
the debris and buildup on your diffuser plate to a
minimum between meals. Utilization of a disposable
drip pan will minimize the amount of cleaning
needed.
You will need: A stainless steel bristle grill brush or
a wood scraper.
1. While the cooking grate is installed, brush the
debris off your cooking grate with a stainless
steel bristle grill brush or wood scraper (B).
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 grate or brush. WEBER
recommends purchasing a new stainless steel
bristle grill brush at the beginning of every
spring.
2. Remove the cooking grate from the grill.
3. With diffuser plate installed, brush the debris off
the plate with a stainless steel bristle grill brush.
4. Remove the diffuser plate.
5. With charcoal grate installed, brush the debris off
the charcoal grate with a stainless steel bristle
grill brush.
Cleaning the Bowl
For proper air flow and a better grilling experience,
remove accumulated ashes and old charcoal from
the bottom of the bowl and empty the ash catcher
before every use.
1. Open the grill lid and remove the cooking grate,
diffuser plate, and charcoal grate.
2. Clear ashes or chunks of old charcoal from the
bottom of the bowl. Charcoal requires oxygen
to burn, so be sure that nothing clogs the vents.
Move the handle of the ONE-TOUCH cleaning
system back and forth to move ash from the
bottom of the bowl into the ash catcher (D).
3. Squeeze the ash catcher handle to release it
from the grill (E). Once completely cooled, dump
cold ashes in a safe container to dispose of and
replace the high capacity ash catcher.

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. Make sure that all of the charcoal is
fully extinguished and the grill is cool before cleaning
the exterior.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
Clean exterior stainless steel surfaces using a non-
toxic, non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner or polish
designed for use on outdoor products and grills,
or just soap and water. Do not risk scratching your
stainless steel with abrasive pastes that do not
clean or polish, but change the color of the metal by
removing the top chromium oxide film coating. Do not
use paper towels. Instead, use a microfiber cloth to
wipe down stainless steel surfaces.
You will need: A microfiber cloth, stainless steel
cleaner, or soap and water.
1. Spray cleaner onto the stainless steel areas of
the grill. Using a microfiber cloth, clean in the
direction of the grain of the stainless steel and let
dry.
2. If using soap and water, use a microfiber cloth
to apply soapy water, then rinse with water and
let dry.
Painted, Porcelain-Enameled
Surfaces, and Plastic Components
Clean painted, porcelain-enameled, and plastic
surfaces on the outside of your grill with warm soapy
water.
You will need: Warm soapy water, paper towels or a
microfiber cloth.
1. Wipe down the surfaces with warm soapy water.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
m IMPORTANT: Do not use any of the following
to clean your grill: abrasive stainless steel
polishes or paints, cleaners that contain
acid, mineral spirits or xylene, oven cleaner,
abrasive cleansers (kitchen cleansers), and
abrasive cleaning pads.
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 non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner weekly to prevent surface rust.
