ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE 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. Make sure that all of the charcoal is
fully extinguished and the grill is cool before doing
so.
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. Do not risk scratching
your stainless steel with abrasive pastes that do not
clean or polish but change the color of the metal by
removing the top chromium oxide film coating. Do not
use paper towels.
You will need: A microfiber cloth, stainless steel
cleaner.
1. Spray cleaner onto the stainless steel areas of
the grill. Using a microfiber cloth, clean in the
direction of the grain of the stainless steel.
Painted, Porcelain-Enameled Surfaces,
and PlasticComponents
Clean painted, porcelain-enameled, and plastic
surfaces on the outside of your grill with warm soapy
water.
You will need: Warm soapy water, paper towels or
cloth.
1. Wipe down the surfaces with warm soapy water.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
m IMPORTANT: Do not use any of the
following to clean your grill: abrasive
stainless steel polishes or paints, cleaners
that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene,
oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers (kitchen
cleansers), and abrasive cleaning pads.
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, you
may want to apply a stainless steel cleaner weekly to
prevent surface rust.
INSPECTING THE HOSE
1. Visually inspect the hose for any signs of cracking
(A).
m WARNING: Check hose before each use
of grill for nicks, cracking, abrasions, or
cuts. If the hose is found to be damaged
in any way, do not use the grill. Replace
using only WEBER authorized replacement
hose. Contact the Customer Service
Representative in your area using the
