PREVENTATIVE
MAINTENANCE
Over time the performance of
your grill can diminish if has
not been maintained properly.
Low temperatures, uneven
heat, and food sticking to
cooking grates are all possible
side effects of poor grill
cleaning and maintenance.
Cleaning from the top to
the bottom of your grill will
ensure you get all of the vital
areas thoroughly cleaned each
and every time.
To obtain replacement
disposable drip pans,
cooking grates and
Flavorizer bars, contact
®
the local retailer in
your area or log onto
www.weber.com. If you need
further assistance, contact
your Customer Service
Representative.

CLEANING FOR PERFORMANCE

Preventative Maintenance consists of cleaning several
areas on the inside of your grill as well as the outside.
When your grill is off and cool, start by cleaning the inside
from the top down to keep your grill running at peak
performance.
m WARNING: Turn your Weber
off and wait for it 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 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 stainless steel bristle grill brush, paper
towel.
A) Brush the carbonized grease from the inside of the
lid with a stainless steel bristle grill brush (1). To
minimize further build-up, the inside of the lid can be
wiped with a paper towel after cooking while the grill
is still warm (not hot).

CLEANING THE COOKING GRATES

If you have been cleaning your cooking grates as
recommended in our Meal-To-Meal Maintenance plan, the
debris on your grates should be minimal.
You will need: A stainless steel bristle grill brush.
A) With grates installed, brush the debris off your
cooking grate with a stainless steel bristle grill brush
(2).
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 bristle
grill brush at the beginning of every
spring.
B) Take the grates out. (Do not place them onto the grill
side tables as they may scratch the paint or stainless
steel.)
CLEANING THE FLAVORIZER
Angled just right, the Flavorizer
®
smoke and sizzle adding flavor to your food. Any drippings
not vaporized by the Flavorizer bars follow the slope of
®
their angle and are funneled away from the burner tubes.
Not only does this help prevent flare-ups inside your grill,
but it also protects the burner tubes from getting clogged.
You will need: A plastic scraper, stainless steel bristle
grill brush.
A) Scrape the Flavorizer bars with the plastic
®
scraper (3).
B) If necessary, brush the Flavorizer
stainless steel bristle grill brush.
C) Remove Flavorizer bars and set aside. (Do not place
®
them onto grill side tables as they may scratch the
paint or stainless steel.)
m CAUTION: Do not clean Flavorizer
or cooking grates in a sink, dishwasher
or self-cleaning oven.
m CAUTION: Over time the development
of rough surfaces can occur on the
Flavorizer bars. Wearing gloves is
®
recommended when handling.
