Cleaning Your Weber BBQ

Like everything else, your Weber barbecue deserves a little maintenance once in a while. Using the right 
products extends the lifetime of your barbecue and keeps it looking like new all year-round.

Weber barbecues do the bulk of the cleaning work themselves. All you have to do is preheat on a high heat 
until the food residue burns off. Remnants can then be easily removed from the cooking grate when it is still 
hot using the specially designed brushes.


CLEANING CHARCOAL BARBECUES

When rolling up your sleeves to start, its best to concentrate your efforts on s: when meat sears, 
it releases fats and juices that can prompt flares if they make contact with the coals underneath. 
A great way to abate this happening is by using an indirect heating method or by using a drip pan


Cleaning your charcoal barbecue grates:

  1. Ensure your barbecue has cooled.
  2. Spray on the Weber Q and Grate Cleaner and leave sit for 30 seconds.
  3. Brush off the grate with a stainless steel bristle brush and then wipe clean with a wet sponge.

CLEANING GAS BARBECUES

Cleaning the inside of your gas barbecue:

  1. Start cleaning your gas barbecue by disconnecting your gas tank; consult your owner’s manual for directions on your specific model.
  2. Next, brush the grates to remove any food debris, then spray your grate cleaner and let it settle for 30 seconds. After, scrub the grates with the abrasive side of your sponge, rinse with water and set aside for drying.
  3. Spray the grate cleaner inside the cookbox and on the Flavorizer bars and let settle for 30 seconds. Scrape the grease and debris off with a plastic scraper and set the flavouriser bars aside and clean with a sponge.
  4. Wipe down the cookbox, drip tray and bottom tray: use a brush when needed. Be careful not to splash water onto the burner tubes.
  5. Make sure your barbecue dries thoroughly before reassembling your barbecue and finishing your grates with a non-stick spray.
