ROUTINE 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. Make sure that all of the
charcoal is fully extinguished and the grill is cool
before doing so.
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. 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.
You will need: A microfiber cloth, stainless steel
cleaner.
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.
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
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 stainless
steel cleaner weekly to prevent surface rust.
INSPECTING THE HOSE
1. Visually inspect the hose for any signs of
cracking (A).
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
