MAINTENANCE
Recommended Cleaning
In order to keep your WEBER SMOKEFIRE grill running smoothly for
years of barbecuing and smoking, WEBER recommends a thorough
cleaning of the grill after 20 hours of cooking or after every 12 cooks.
Additional cleaning may be required after the completion of low &
slow cooks, before beginning a high temperature cook, to remove fatty
deposits not burned o at low temperatures.
WARNING: ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE GRILL IS COMPLETELY COOLED
AND UNPLUGGED FROM A POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING.
CAUTION: NEVER SPRAY THE GRILL WITH A STEADY WATER STREAM
SUCH AS FROM A GARDEN HOSE OR POWER WASHER. ELECTRONIC
COMPONENTS COULD BECOME DAMAGED.
CAUTION: WEBER recommends the use of barbecue mitts or rubberized
gloves to protect your hands while cleaning your grill.
Please follow these steps for cleaning your grill:
1. Once your grill has completed a proper shut down and completely
cooled, power o the grill and unplug from the power source.
2. Open the grill lid and brush or scrape the lid clean with a grill
brush or the included scraper.
3. While in place, brush or scrape the cooking grates clean, then
remove them from the cookbox and set aside.
4. While the FLAVORIZER bars and heat diuser are in place, brush
or scrape them clean, then remove them from the cookbox and
set aside.
5. Hold the heat bae steady with one hand and brush or scrape
clean with a grill brush or scraper with the other hand. Then
remove from the cookbox and set aside.
6. Brush or scrape the interior of the cookbox with a grill brush or
scraper. Direct all of the grease and debris towards the vents in
the bottom of the cookbox, and into the disposable drip pan.
7. Using the included scraper or a soft bristle brush, clean out the
burn pot, pushing any remaining ash or debris through the pellet
grate at the bottom of the burn pot.
8. Remove the ash and grease system drawer to clean out ash and
replace the disposable drip pan. In addition, clean the inside of
the ash and grease system housing to prevent a buildup of ash
that could stop the drawer from fully closing. Once the drawer
and housing have been cleaned, reinstall the drawer.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE THE ASH AND GREASE SYSTEM DRAWER
WHILE OPERATING THE GRILL, OR IF STILL HOT AFTER SHUTDOWN.
Frequently replace the disposable drip pan before igniting the grill to
reduce the risk of a grease fire.
9. Reinstall the heat bae, heat diuser, FLAVORIZER bars and
cooking grates inside the cookbox.

Cleaning the Exterior 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.
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 grills.
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean in the direction of the grain of the
stainless steel. Do not use paper towels.
CAUTION: Do not risk scratching your stainless steel with abrasive pastes.
Pastes do not clean or polish. They will change the color of the metal by
removing the top chromium oxide film coating.
Cleaning Painted, Porcelain-Enameled Surfaces
and Plastic Components
Clean painted, porcelain-enameled and plastic components with warm
soapy water and a soft, lint-free cloth. After wiping down the surfaces,
lightly rinse and dry thoroughly.
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 light rinse and
thorough drying. Additionally, you may want to apply a non-abrasive
stainless steel cleaner weekly to prevent surface rust. Use only as
directed.
