Product Care
Cleaning the Heat Deflector
Located under the burners, the heat deflector
distributes heat evenly throughout the cookbox while
cooking. Keeping the heat deflector clean will enhance
the cooking performance of your barbecue.
1) Scrape the heat deflector with a plastic scraper(G).
2) If necessary, brush the heat deflector with a
stainless steel bristle grill brush.
3) Remove heat deflector and set aside.
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 o the
sides and bottom of the barbecue into the opening
in bottom of the cookbox(H). This opening leads
debris into the slide-out catch pan.
Cleaning the Grease ManagementSystem
The grease management system consists of a
slide-out catch pan and disposable drip tray. 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 theBarbecue
The outside of your barbecue may include stainless
steel, porcelain-enameled, and plastic surfaces.
Weber recommends the following methods based on
the surfacetype.
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 microfiber
cloth to clean in the direction of the grain of the
stainless steel. Donot use paper towels.
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, Porcelain-Enameled
Surfaces and PlasticComponents
Clean painted, porcelain-enameled 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.

GRILLBRUSH
A must-use before you even dream of
barbecuing. A quick once-over on hot
grates prevents the charred remains
of meals past from sticking to
your meals present.
