Deep Cleaning and Maintenance
CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE GRILL
Over time, the performance of your grill can diminish if
it has not been maintained properly.
Low temperatures, uneven heat and food sticking
to cooking grates are all signs that cleaning and
maintenance are overdue. When your grill is o and
cool, start by cleaning the inside from the top down.
A thorough cleaning is recommended after every five
cooks. Consistent use may require more frequent
cleanings.
Cleaning the Lid
From time to time you may notice ‘paint-like’ flakes
on the inside of the lid. During use, grease and smoke
vapours slowly change into carbon and deposit on the
inside of your grill’s lid. These deposits will eventually
peel and look very similar to paint. These deposits are
non-toxic, but the flakes could fall onto your food if you
do not clean the lid regularly.
1) Use a plastic scraper to remove carbonised grease
from inside the lid(A).
Cleaning the Cooking Grates
If you have been cleaning your cooking grates as
recommended, the debris on your grates should be
minimal.
1) With grates installed, brush the debris o your
cooking grate with a stainless steel bristle grill
brush (sold separately) (B).
2) Take the grates out and set aside.
Note: Cooking grates are dishwasher safe.
Cleaning the Bowl Liner and Cookbox
Look inside the cookbox for any grease accumulation
or leftover food particles. Excessive accumulation can
cause a fire.
It is recommended to use gloves when removing the
heating element.
Do not use metal brushes to clean heating elements.
1) Remove the temperature controller.
2) Remove the heating element by removing the two
screws on the mounting bracket until the heating
element releases(C).
3) Slide the heating element towards the left side
of the grill. Taking care not to bend the heating
element, tilt it upwards and remove it.
4) Use a plastic scraper to scrape debris o of the
sides and bottom of the bowl liner into the opening
in the bottom of the cookbox(D). This opening
funnels debris into the slide-out catch pan.
5) Remove and clean the slide-out catch pan. Refer to
‘Meal-to-Meal Upkeep’ (E).
The bottom liner of the grill can be removed and
washed with warm soapy water. Take care not to bend
the bowl liner.
After cleaning, reinstall the bowl liner. Do not operate
the grill without the bowl liner.
To reinstall the heating elements, insert the heating
elements into the corresponding holes inside the front
of the grill. Reattach by turning screws clockwise. Do
not over-tighten.
Clean heating elements by allowing food to burn o.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE GRILL
The outside of your grill may include aluminum,
stainless steel and plastic surfaces.
WEBER recommends the following methods based on
the surface type:
Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces
Clean stainless steel using a grease-cutting soap. Use
a microfibre cloth to clean in the direction of the grain
of the stainless steel. Rinse with clear water and dry
thoroughly. Do not use paper towels. Do not use bleach
or chlorinated cleaning products on stainless steel.
Note: 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 Surfaces and
PlasticComponents
Clean painted and plastic components with grease-
cutting soap. Rinse with clear water 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 rinse and thorough drying. Additionally,
for stainless steel parts only, you may want to apply
a stainless steel polish cleaner weekly to prevent
surface rust.
