CLEANING THE BURNER TUBES
Keeping the burner tubes clean is essential for optimum
performance. Refer to the previous pages for how to clean
the burner tube ports and spider/insect screens.

CLEANING THE COOKBOX

Look inside the cookbox for any grease accumulation or
leftover food particles. Excessive accumulation can cause
a fire.
You will need: A plastic scraper.
A) Use plastic scraper to scrape debris off the sides and
bottom of grill into the opening in bottom of cookbox
(1). This opening leads debris into the slide-out
grease tray.
CLEANING THE GREASE
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Your grill was built with a grease management system,
which consists of an angled slide-out grease tray and
catch pan. Grease is channeled down the slide-out grease
tray and into the catch pan.
You will need: A plastic scraper, paper towel.
A) Remove the slide-out grease tray by easily pulling the
tray out of the cabinet. Remove excess grease with a
plastic scraper (2). If desired, wipe excess with paper
towel.
B) Remove the catch pan. Lift the disposable drip pan out
of the catch pan, and discard (3). Replace with a new
disposable drip pan.
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.
m CAUTION: Do not line the slide-out
grease tray with aluminum foil.

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.
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.
A) Spray cleaner onto stainless steel areas of 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.
A) 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.
