INSIDE AND OUT
Weber grill owners take a
®
lot of pride in their grills.
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.
WARNING: Turn your Weber
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 cleaners that contain acid,
mineral spirits, or xylene. Do not use oven cleaner,
abrasive cleansers (kitchen cleansers), cleaners that
contain citrus products, or abrasive cleaning pads on
grill or cart surfaces.
Fold-down tables are not to be used as cutting
boards.

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 Components & Burner Tubes
You will need: A stainless steel bristle brush, and a stiff
plastic scraper.
A) Scrape and brush the cooking grates with the scraper
and brush. Remove the cooking grates and set aside.
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 grill brush at the
beginning of every spring.
CAUTION: Do not clean cooking grates
in a self-cleaning oven.
B) Brush any debris off of burner tubes. Do not enlarge
burner ports (openings) running along length of
burner tube (1).
C) When cleaning is complete, replace the cooking
grates.
Cookbox
Wash inside of cookbox with warm, soapy water; then
rinse with water.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Removable Catch Pan and Disposable Drip Pan
Your grill was built with a grease collection system, which
funnels grease away from food and into a removable
catch pan. For your convenience, you can also line the
removable catch pan with a Weber
which will help keep the removable catch pan cleaner
longer.
Cleaning the removable catch pan is just as important as
cleaning the cookbox. Check the removable catch pan
for grease build-up each time you use your grill. Remove
excess grease with a plastic scraper (2). Wash the
removable catch pan with warm, soapy water and rinse
with water.
WARNING: Check the removable catch
pan or disposable drip 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.
CAUTION: Do not line the cookbox,

to be damaged in any way, do not use
the grill. Replace using only Weber
