MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE GRILL
Cleaning the inside of your grill before each use
is essential to keep your grill operating at peak
performance for years to come.
m WARNING: Turn grill off and wait for it to
cool before giving it a thorough cleaning.
Cleaning the Lid
From time to time you may notice "paint-like" flakes
on the inside of the lid. During use, grease and smoke
vapors slowly change into carbon and deposit on the
inside of your lid. This deposit will eventually peel,
and looks very similar to paint. These deposits are
nontoxic, but the flakes could fall onto your food if
you do not clean the lid regularly.
You will need: A non-abrasive, nylon mesh scrubbing
pad and a paper towel.
1. Scrub the carbonized grease on the inside of the
lid with a scrubbing pad (A). To minimize future
grease buildup, wipe the inside of the lid with a
paper towel after each use; do so when the grill is
warm (not hot) to the touch.
Cleaning the Grates & Diffuser Plate
If you have been cleaning your cooking grates
routinely after preheating, the debris on them should
be minimal. You should also make an effort to keep
the debris and buildup on your diffuser plate to a
minimum between meals. Utilization of a disposable
drip pan will minimize the amount of cleaning.
You will need: A stainless steel bristle grill brush.
1. With cooking grates installed, brush the debris off
your cooking grate with a stainless steel bristle
grill brush (B).
m 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 bristle
grill brush at the beginning of every
spring.
2. Remove cooking grates.
3. With diffuser plate installed, brush the debris off
the plate with a stainless steel bristle grill brush.
4. Remove the diffuser plate.
5. With fuel grate installed, brush the debris off
the fuel grate with a stainless steel bristle grill
brush.
Quick Cleaning the Burner Tube
The burner tube should be periodically checked
for blockage and quickly cleaned. Directions for a
more thorough cleaning can be found in the ANNUAL
MAINTENANCE section.
You will need: A chenille pipe cleaner and a clean
stainless steel bristle grill brush. Do not use a brush
that has already been used to clean the cooking
grates.
1. Insert the pipe cleaner through the end of the
burner tube (C). Be careful not to damage the
igniter electrode.
2. Insert the pipe cleaner through the burner
slots (D).
3. Brush the outside of the burner tube with a
stainless steel bristle brush.

Cleaning the Bowl
For proper air flow and better grilling, remove
accumulated ashes and old charcoal from the bottom
of the kettle and the ash catcher before every use.
1. Open lid and remove the cooking grates, fuel
grate, and diffuser plate.
2. Clear ashes or chunks of old charcoal from the
bottom of the bowl. Charcoal requires oxygen
to burn, so be sure that nothing clogs the vents.
Move the handle of the ONE-TOUCH cleaning
system back and forth to move ash from the
bottom of the grill into the ash catcher (E).
3. Squeeze the ash catcher handle to release it from
the grill (F).
Alternative Method for Cleaning the
Diffuser Plate
To remove heavy build-up on the diffuser plate
it can be cleaned while it is warm.
You will need: A stainless steel bristle grill
brush.
1. During preheating of grill, when
temperature is 350° or below, brush the
debris off the diffuser plate with a stainless
steel bristle grill brush (A).
