How do you clean the grill surface while it is still hot?

I would wipe the grates with a damp paper towel while grill was still warm. The grill though is submersible in water. It was very easy to keep clean.

Anything non-abrasive. Don't use soap. If you have ever used a George Forman grille it should be cleaned the same way. Just gently scrape it with a sponge or plastic/wood utensil.

I don't think that is a good idea it takes just a few minutes for it to cool enough to clean with soap and water or to clean the grill with a cleaning pad

the heating element is underneath the top grill. Cleanup is pretty easy. Use sponges only due to the nonstick surface. Also remember to clean the drip Tray on the side. I forgot to clean it one time but I was reminded a week later by a horrible smell.

The out side of the grill you can't. The inside grill portion use a grill scrub brush.

Well after I clean it I spray a light coating of "high heat" Pam cooking spray and with a cloth wipe the entire grill down and then cover with a plastic cover for the winter! I hope this helps.

I use a normal wire brush to clean the grill's cooking surface...the drippings drop down and are collected in a disposable aluminum tray that you access from the front door...well designed.

You're right, a paper towel works nicely. I like this because I don't burn myself when cleaning the panini machine grills, and they get very hot. Your choice in the end.

It doesn't get all over the food. So long as you start with a clean grill you shouldn't have to worry about cleaning while cooking

I clean hot grill with a wet rag after each use. Then apply liberal amount of peanut oil. I do not use metal brushes as they seem to promote rusting and leave dangerous bristles behind.

Hi - Here's what I do: I heat the grill up for a minute or so and when it's hot I use soapy water and a wash cloth and wipe it clean. It's really hard to clean when it's cold and very easy to clean when it's warm. Good Luck!!

I dip my steel brush in water and clean the hot grill that way. It was recommended by the brush manufacturer and it really cleans the cast iron grates; actually steams them clean. Just dip in water and brush grill, repeating 2-3 times, and you will have a clean grill. I then spray grill with the Weber grill spray, works on hot or cold grill. Good luck!

Normally I just wash it but if I have chicken or burgers on the grill for a bit of time, the grill does need to soak (the pan and the gril)l for 10-15 minutes in dish soap. I use a dish sponge to remove any remaining particles with relative ease.

We use a scraper and scrape the griddle lightly before each use. The high heat pretty much burns off everything. I've never had to remove to clean. We've owned it for awhile now and it permanently stays on one side of our grill. It's the BEST purchase for our Weber we have ever made! We even purchased one for my father in law, and he loves it! Hope this helps!

To clean use warm soapy water and a 3m cleaning pad ( the one with a green fiber pad) Do not use a grill brush as this will scratch the surface and eventually cause the enamel to fail.

I keep them in the grill. As soon as I am done cooking, I use a wire brush to clean while still hot. It works especially well if there is remaining grease on the racks.

Your answer would be in the Weber manual and should be a ails le on line. I am away from my manual but going from memory you clean the grates in warm soapy water and clean with a nylon type scrub brush. Dry thoroughly and reflag with cooking oil . Turn on barbecue and heat the grates for up to an hour on med / high. This reseLs the o back on the grate.

I don't allow food to get dry on the grill plates. As soon as I take the food off, I put a wet cloth on the grill while it cools enough to clean. Then I clean with Dawn and the grill brush and just scrub clean. My grill is super easy to clean and the grill plates also can go in the dishwasher, so I've had no problems at all.

We allow the grills to cool, put the in sink with soapy water for a few minutes then scrub with the brush. Always comes clean without a problem.
