Cleaning the Cookbox
Look inside the cookbox for any grease accumulation
or leftover food particles. Excessive accumulation can
cause a fire.
1) Use a plastic scraper to scrape debris off the sides
and bottom of the barbecue into the opening in
the bottom of the cook box (G). This opening leads
debris into the slide-out catch pan.
Cleaning the Grease Management System
The grease management system consists of an angled
slide-out grease tray and a catch pan (H). These
components were designed to be easily removed,
cleaned, and replaced; an essential step every time
you prepare to barbecue. Instructions on inspecting
the grease management system can be found in
MEAL-TO-MEAL MAINTENANCE.
Cleaning the Outside of the Barbecue
The outside of your barbecue may include stainless
steel, porcelain-enamelled, and plastic surfaces.
WEBER recommends the following methods based on
the surface type.
Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces
Clean stainless steel using a non-toxic, non-abrasive
stainless steel cleaner or polish designed for use on
outdoor products and barbecues. Use a microfibre
cloth to clean in the direction of the grain of the
stainless steel. Do not use paper towels.
Note: Do not risk scratching your stainless steel with
abrasive pastes. Pastes do not clean or polish. They
will change the colour of the metal by removing the top
chromium oxide film coating.
Cleaning Painted, Porcelain-Enamelled
Surfaces and Plastic Components
Clean painted, porcelain-enamelled and plastic
components with warm soapy water, and paper towels
or cloth. After wiping down the surfaces, rinse and dry
thoroughly.
Cleaning the Outside of Barbecues that
are in Unique Environments
If your barbecue 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 barbecue 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.
FOIL PANS
Perfect for lining the catch pan to
make cleanup convenient and easy.
