Recommended Cleaning Products
- Warm Soapy Water:
- Use mild dish soap mixed with warm water for cleaning painted, porcelain-enamelled, and plastic surfaces.

- Non-Toxic Stainless-Steel Cleaner:
- For stainless steel surfaces, use a non-abrasive stainless-steel cleaner or polish designed for outdoor products and barbecues.

Products to Avoid
- Abrasive Stainless-Steel Polishes or Paints: These can scratch or damage the surface.
- Cleaners Containing Acid, Mineral Spirits, or Xylene: These can corrode or discolour the grill.
- Oven Cleaner: Too harsh for grill components.
- Abrasive Cleansers or Cleaning Pads: Can damage the finish and surfaces.
- Power Washers or Garden Hoses: Can damage electronic components and cause rust.
Cleaning Tips
- Clean the inside of the grill at least twice a year, or quarterly if used frequently.
- Regularly clean the cooking grates, FLAVORIZER BARS, burners, and grease management system to maintain performance and prevent flare-ups.
- For grills in harsh environments (e.g., near saltwater or pool chemicals), clean the exterior more frequently to prevent surface rust.
By using the right cleaning products and tools, you can keep your Weber Spirit grill in excellent condition for years to come!
