Proper Burner Flame Pattern
The burner in your grill is factory set for the correct
air and gas mixture. When the burner is performing
correctly, you will see a specific flame pattern.
The tips may occasionally flicker yellow (A), with a
descending light blue (B) to dark blue flame (C).
m WARNING: Blocked and dirty ports can restrict full
gas flow, resulting in a fire (D) in and around the gas
valves, causing serious damage to your grill.
Spider Screens
The combustion air openings of the burners(E) are
fitted with stainless steel screens to prevent spiders
and other insects from spinning webs and building
nests inside the burners. Additionally, dust and
debris can accumulate on the outside of the spider/
insect screen and obstruct the oxygen flow to the
burners.
PRODUCT CARE
m WARNING: Do not attempt to make any repair to
gas carrying, gas burning, ignition components
or structural components without contacting
Weber-Stephen Products LLC, Customer Service
Department.
m CAUTION: The burner tube openings must be
positioned properly over the valve orifices.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning and Maintaining the Griddle
The griddle surface should be cleaned after each use to
preserve it and continue to ensure a non-stick cooking
surface. Follow these steps for a proper cleaning:
1. After the grill is o and cooled for 5 minutes, use a
scraper or spatula to scrape excess grease, oil, and food
debris into the hole in the griddle.
NOTE: For stubborn, stuck on food debris, a small amount
of room temperature water can be used during the scraping
process. DO NOT USE LARGE AMOUNTS COLD WATER WHILE
CLEANING THE GRIDDLE.
2. Using several paper towels, wipe and dry the griddle's
surface, directing any excess grease, oil, and food debris
into the hole in the griddle.
3. Apply small amounts of a neutral cooking oil such as
vegetable or canola across the griddle's surface.
4. Using paper towels, rub the oil evenly around the entire
cooking surface. Use more paper towels if needed to wipe
up any excess pools of oil.
Cleaning the Burners
Two areas on the burners that are key to optimum
performance are the ports (small openings running along
the length of the burners) and the spider/insect screens on
the front ends of the burners. Keeping these areas clean is
essential for safe operation.
Cleaning the Burner Ports
1) Once the grill has been turned o and cooled, and the LP
tank has been disconnected, using BBQ mitts or gloves
remove the griddle and set aside.
2) Use a clean stainless steel bristle grill brush to clean the
outside of the burners by brushing across the burner
ports.
Cleaning the Spider Screens
To access the spider/insect screens, it is necessary to
remove the control panel (A). Follow these steps for
removing the control panel:
1) Remove the slide out grease tray and set aside.
2) Remove the control knobs and set aside.
3) Remove the red control panel trim by sliding it to the left
and pulling it away from the bottom of the control panel.
4) Remove the 2 screws that hold the control panel to the
grill frame and set aside.
5) Remove the control panel by pulling it up o of the
hanging tabs and set it aside.
6) Clean the spider/insect screens on the ends of the
burner tubes using a soft bristle brush (B).
7)
Re-install all components.
NOTE: Ensure the digital thermometer wires are
connected before reassembly. (Only available on select
models).
Cleaning the Grill Frame
The outside of your grill may include stainless steel,
porcelain-enameled, and plastic surfaces. WEBER
recommends the following methods based on the
surfacetype:
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 grills. Use a microfiber cloth to clean in the
direction of the grain of the stainless steel. Donot 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 PlasticComponents
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 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.
Check for Grease
Your griddle was built with a grease management system that
collects grease and food debris into a disposable container.
The grease and food debris is channeled into a disposable
drip pan that lines the grease tray. This system should be
cleaned before you cook to preventgrease fires.
1. Confirm that the grill is o and completely cooled.
2.
Remove any excess grease or food debris with a scraper
and wipe the griddle clean with a paper towel. Scrape the
grease and food debris down through the openning on the
flat top cooking surface into the disposable drip pan below.
3. Remove the grease tray. Check for excessive amounts of
grease and food debris in the disposable drip pan that
lines the grease tray. Discard the disposable drip pan when
necessary and replace it with a new one.
4. Reinstall all components.
NOTE: In the event of severe weather, water may enter the
grease tray and disposable drip pan. Check the disposable
drip pan and grease tray for water and empty when
necessary.
Clean the Cooking Surface
After preheating, leftover food and grease from previous use
will be easier to remove with a scraper if needed.
1. Scrape the cooking surface with a scraper after preheat-
ing. Direct any leftover grease or food into the hole in the
griddle's cooking surface.
