lighting your grill

Is it the very ﬁrst time? Perform a Burn-off

Remove warming rack and run the main burners on high for

30 minutes. It is normal for the grill to emit an odor the ﬁrst

time it is lit. This odor is caused by the “burn-off” of internal

paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and

will not occur again.

Main Burner Lighting

1. Open grill lid.

2. Push and slowly turn any main burner knob counter clockwise

to HIGH position until pilot lights. Continue to push down on

the control knob until the burner lights and then release.

3. If the pilot does not light – immediately turn the control knob

clockwise to the OFF position. Repeat step 2.

4. If the pilot and burner will not light in 5 seconds – turn the

control knob clockwise to the OFF position. Wait 5 minutes

for gas to dissipate. Repeat steps 2 and 3, or light with a

match. (Fig. 1) .

Rear Burner Lighting (if equipped)

1. Open grill lid.

2. Remove warming rack.

3. Push and slowly turn rear burner knob counter clockwise to HIGH

position.

4. Press and hold igniter button until the burner lights, or light by

match.

5. If the burner will not light – turn burner control knob clockwise to

the OFF position. Wait 5 minutes. Repeat step 3 and 4. (Fig. 1)

3. While turning the corresponding burner knob to high. (Fig. 3)

grilling inStructionS

Main Burner Use

• Preheat the grill before searing food by operating all main burners on high with the lid closed for approximately 10 minutes.

• Food cooked for only a short time such as ﬁsh and vegetables can be grilled with the lid open.

• Grilling with the lid closed ensures higher and consistent temperatures that cook meat more evenly and can reduce cooking times.

• The cooking grids can be oiled before preheating to reduce sticking when grilling lean meat such as chicken breast, or pork.

• Food that takes longer than 30 minutes such as roasts can be cooked indirectly with the burner lit opposite the food. See Indirect

Grilling.

• Trim excess fat off meat to prevent ﬂare-ups, or reduce the temperature of the grill.

• Flare ups – move food away from the ﬂames and reduce the heat. Leave the lid open.

Direct Grilling

This method is often used for searing, or food cooked for only a short time such as

hamburgers, steaks, chicken, or vegetables.

Place food on the cooking grids directly over the heat.

Sear meat ﬁrst to trap-in the juices and ﬂavor.

Lower the grill temperature to ﬁnish cooking to your preference.

Indirect Grilling

This method uses lower temperatures and circulates heat around the food cooking it

slowly and evenly. Use this method to cook larger cuts of meat, or food prone to ﬂare-

ups such as roast, chicken, or turkey.

Turn one or more burners on and place food on the cooking grid where there is no

ﬂame, or burner on.

Grilling at a lower temperature and slower cooking time results in more tender meats.

Infrared Main Burner Use (if equipped)

Follow the “Main Burner Lighting” Instructions and operate on high for 5 minutes with the lid closed or

until the ceramic burners glow red.

Cook the food directly on the grid(s) following the directions on the "Infrared Grilling Guide". Food can be

seared on the infrared burner and then transferred to the main burners of the grill to ﬁnish cooking over

direct or indirect heat, depending on your taste and preference.

Flame Side Burner (if equipped)

The ﬂame side burner can be used like a stove top to make gravy or soups.

The recommended pot or pan diameter is 10” (25 cm).

Be sure your grill is in a location protected from the wind, or the performance of the side burner will be

affected.

Infrared Side Burner (if equipped)

To operate, follow the “Side Burner Lighting” instructions. The infrared heat provides an even cooking area

for searing food when it’s set to high.

To cook like a stove top use a lower temperature with pans of 10” (25 cm) to 12” (30 cm) in diameter,

being careful to not cover more than 75% of the surface

Some side burner models have a height-adjustable cooking grid.

Grilling at Night (if applicable)

Illuminate the control knobs by pushing the light bulb icon on the control panel.

When a burner is operating, the corresponding knob will glow red, while the rest will remain blue.

how to uSe the rear Burner & rotiSSerie

Assembling Your Rotisserie Kit (if equipped)

Note: Remove the warming rack prior to using the rear burner and

spit rod. Extreme heat will damage the warming rack.

1. Install the rotisserie motor on the side of the grill using the

mounting bracket(s). Some models have pre-mounted brackets.

2. Once the bracket has been fastened to the grill, slide the

rotisserie motor onto the bracket.

3. Slide the ﬁrst rotisserie fork just past the middle of the spit rod

and tighten into place. Thread the meat onto the spit rod and

push the meat into the fork. Slide the second rotisserie fork on

the opposite end of the spit rod and push the fork into the meat

until secure. Tighten the fork into place.

4. Carefully insert the pointed end of the spit rod into

the rotisserie motor and set the opposite end across

the hangers. The heavy side of the meat will naturally

hang down to balance the load.

5. Slide the stop bushing onto the spit rod until it is past

the inside of the hood. This will secure the side to

side movement of the spit rod.

6. Tighten the stop bushing and spit rod handle. Place a

metal dish under the meat to collect the drippings.

IMPORTANT! Always wear gloves when

handling components of the grill.

!

Tips about using the Rotisserie:

• Operate the rear burner on high until the meat

browns. Reduce heat. Keep lid closed.

• Use a thermometer to check the internal

temperature of the meat.

• Roasts and poultry should brown on the outside

and stay tender on the inside.

• Use drippings to baste and make gravy.

• A 3-pound chicken takes approximately 1 ½ hours

on medium to high.

• Be mindful of your rotisserie motor capacity.

Never overload your equipment.

• Be sure to always set an evenly balanced load on

your rotisserie.

How to cook multiple chickens

1. Tie or skewer wings to the body of the

chickens.

2. Slide rotisserie fork onto spit rod.

3. Thread ﬁrst chicken onto spit rod until

it is held into place by the rotisserie

fork. Tighten.

4. Thread next 2 chickens onto spit rod

so all the chickens are close together.

5. Slide second rotisserie fork onto spit

rod and push into chicken until all 3

chickens are squeezed together tightly.

Tighten.

Cleaning

WARNING! Ensure all burners are turned off and grill is cool before cleaning. Do not use oven cleaner to clean any part

of the grill. Do not put cooking grids or any other parts of the grill in a self-cleaning oven to clean. Clean the grill in an

area where cleaning solution won’t harm decks, lawns, or patios.

WARNING! Barbecue sauce and salt can be corrosive and will cause rapid deterioration of the grill components

unless cleaned regularly.

Drip Pan

Every grill head, side burner and drop-in burner have a corresponding

drip pan. It is easily accessible through doors or openings.

• Grease and excess drippings collect in the drip pan located

beneath the grill and accumulate in the disposable grease tray

below the drip pan

(if applicable).

• Only use Napoleon approved liners on the drip pan. Never use

aluminum foil, sand or any other unapproved material. This can

prevent grease from ﬂowing properly.

• Clean frequently to avoid grease build-up – approximately every

4-5 uses.

Cleaning steps:

1. Slide the drip pan from the grill to access the disposable grease

tray or to clean the drip pan.

2. Scrape the drip pan out with a putty knife or scraper.

3. Replace the disposable grease tray every 2-4 weeks depending

on grill usage (if applicable).

4. See your Napoleon Grill dealer for supplies.

Control Panel

ONLY use warm soapy water.

Text is printed directly on the control panel and will gradually rub off

if abrasive or stainless steel cleaners are used.

Proper cleaning of the control panel will ensure the text remains dark

and legible.

Aluminum Castings

Clean with warm soapy water.

Aluminum doesn’t rust, but high temperatures and weathering can

cause oxidization on the surface of the castings that look like white

spots.

See “Maintenance Instructions” for more information on how to

prevent oxidized aluminum.

Outside Grill Surface

• Only use a stainless steel non-abrasive cleaner. Abrasive

cleaners or steel wool will scratch the ﬁnish.

• Always wipe in the direction of the grain.

• Handle porcelain enamel components with care.

• The baked-on enamel ﬁnish is glass-like and will chip if struck.

• Stainless steel parts discolor overtime when heated and will

turn a golden or brown hue. This is normal and won’t affect the

performance of the grill.

Cleaning

Insect Screen and Burner Ports

Spiders and insects are attracted to small enclosed spaces.

Napoleon has equipped the burner with an insect screen on the air

shutter. This reduces the likelihood of insects building nests inside

the burner, but doesn’t eliminate the problem.

A nest or web can cause the burner ﬂame to burn a soft yellow or

orange and cause a ﬁre or ﬂashback at the air shutter underneath the

control panel.

1. Remove the screw (s) that attaches the burner to the back wall of

the grill. Slide the burner back and upwards to remove.

2. Use a ﬂexible venturi tube brush to clean the inside of the

burner.

3. Shake loose debris from the burner through the gas inlet.

4. Check the burner ports and valve oriﬁces for blockages: burner

ports can close over time because of cooking debris and

corrosion.

5. Use an opened paper clip, or the supplied port maintenance bit

to clean burner ports.

6. Drill out blocked ports using the supplied drill bit in a small

cordless drill: this can be done with the burner attached to the

grill, but it’s easier if removed from the grill.

7. Do not ﬂex the drill bit when drilling the ports because the drill

bit will break.

8. This drill bit is for burner ports NOT for brass oriﬁces that

regulate the gas ﬂow to the burner.

9. Do not enlarge the holes

10. Ensure the insect screen is clean, tight, and free of any lint

or other debris.

11. Reverse the procedure to reinstall the burner.

12. Ensure the valve enters the burner when installing.

13. Replace sear plate mount and tighten screws to complete

re-installation.

WARNING! It is very important the valve/orifice enters the burner tube when reinstalling the burner after cleaning

and before lighting your grill, or a fire or explosion could occur.

WARNING! Avoid unprotected contact with hot surfaces.

WARNING! Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool on any painted, porcelain, or stainless steel parts of your

grill because it will scratch the finish.

bottom shelf clear from debris.

comBuStion in air adjuStment

!

IMPORTANT! This must be done by a qualified gas installer.

• The air shutter is factory set and should not require adjusting

under normal conditions. Adjustments might be required under

extreme ﬁeld conditions.

• The ﬂames of the air shutter will be dark blue, tipped with light

blue and occasionally yellow when adjusted correctly.

• Too little air ﬂow to the burner will produce soot and lazy yellow

ﬂames.

• Too much air ﬂow to the burner will cause ﬂames to lift erratically

and cause igniting difﬁculties.

Adjusting the Air Shutter

1. Remove cooking grids and sear plates. Leave lid open.

2. You may have to open the cabinet door or remove the top drawer

(if equipped) to access the air shutter screw located at the mouth

of the burner.

3. Remove the back cover to adjust rear tube burner air shutter.

4. Loosen air shutter lock screw and open or close air shutter as

required. (Fig. 1)

5. Light the burners on high.

6. Visually inspect burner ﬂames.

7. Turn burners off, tighten locking screws, and replace removed

parts when shutters are set correctly.

8. Ensure insect screens are installed.

Note: Infrared burners have no air adjustment.

Maintenance

StainleSS in harSh environmentS

Stainless steel oxidizes or stains in the presence of chlorides and sulﬁdes, especially in coastal regions, warm and

highly humid areas, and around pools and hot tubs. These stains look like rust, but they can be easily removed or

prevented. Wash stainless and chrome surfaces every 3-4 weeks. Clean with warm soapy water.

Burner Maintenance

• Extreme heat and a corrosive environment can cause surface corrosion to occur even though the burner is

made from heavy wall 304 stainless steel.

Maintenance and Protection of Infrared Burners

Your infrared burners are designed to provide a long service life, but you must be careful to prevent cracking of their

ceramic surfaces. Fractures will cause the burners to malfunction.

IMPORTANT! Damage resulting from by failure to follow these

instructions is NOT covered by your grill warranty.

Steps to Avoid Damaging Ceramic Surfaces

1. Never douse a ﬂame or control ﬂare-ups with water.

2. Do not allow cold water (rain, sprinkler, hose etc.) to come in contact with hot ceramic burners. An immediate

change in temperature will cause cracking of the ceramic tile.

3. A ceramic burner that becomes wet before use will create steam when operated later and produce pressure that

will crack the ceramic.

4. Repeated soaking of the ceramic can cause it to swell and expand producing pressure that will make the ceramic

crack and crumble.

5. Inspect the ceramic for possible water soaking if you ﬁnd standing water in the grill. Remove the burner if the

ceramic is wet. Turn it upside down to drain the excess water. Bring ceramic indoors to dry thoroughly.

6. Do not allow hard objects to impact the burner. Take care when inserting or removing cooking grids and using

accessories.

Clearance Ventilation of hot air

• Hot air must have a way to escape the grill for the burners to function properly.

• The burners can become deprived of oxygen if the hot air is not allowed to escape causing them to back-ﬂash. The

ceramic can crack if this occurs repeatedly.

!

WARNING! Turn off gas at the source and disconnect the unit before servicing.

WARNING! Maintenance should only be done when the grill is cool to avoid the possibility of burns.

WARNING! A leak test must be performed annually and when any component of the gas train is replaced, or

when the smell of gas is present.

!

SAFETY

FIRST!

Never cover more than

75% of any main or side

burner cooking surface

with any solid metal

(e.g. griddles or pans)

Troubleshooting

Gas Flow

• Low heat or low ﬂame when valve is turned to high.

• Burners burn with yellow ﬂame, accompanied by the smell of gas.

• Flames lift away from burner, accompanied by the smell of gas, and possible lighting difﬁculties.

• Burner output on HIGH, but setting is LOW. Rumbling noise and ﬂuttering blue ﬂame at burner surface.

Possible causes Solution

Propane – improper lighting procedure

Ensure lighting procedure is followed carefully. All gas valves must

be in the OFF position when the tank valve is turned on. Turn tank

on slowly to allow pressure to equalize. See Operation – "Lighting

Instructions".

Natural gas – undersized supply line. Pipe must be sized according to installation code.

Leaking gasket surrounding the ceramic tile, or a weld

failure in the burner housing.

Allow burner to cool and inspect very closely for cracks. Contact

your authorized Napoleon dealer to order replacement burner

assembly if any cracks are found.

Both gas propane and natural gas – improper preheating. Preheat grill with both main burners on high for 10 to 15 minutes.

Possible spider web or other debris.

Thoroughly clean nest or webs out of your burner oriﬁce by

removing it and following instructions in this manual.

See "Leak Test".

Improper air shutter adjustment.

Open or close air shutter slightly according to this manual.

See "Maintenance Instructions".

IMPORTANT! This must be done by a qualified gas installer.

Lack of gas Check gas level in propane cylinder.

Supply hose is pinched. Reposition supply hose as necessary.

Propane regulator in low ﬂow state.

Turn the burners off and close the tank valve, wait a minute before

fully re-opening the valve, allow a few seconds for the pressure

to equalize before following the Lighting Instructions to start the

grill. Ensure igniting procedure is followed carefully every time you

cook. All gas valves must be OFF when the tank valve is turned

on. Always open the tank valve slowly.

Infrared Burner Flashes Back

• During operation the burner abruptly makes a loud whoosh sound, followed by a continuous blow-torch type sound and

grows dim or has a large ﬂame on start up.

Possible causes Solution

Ceramic tiles overloaded with grease drippings and build-

up. Ports are clogged

Turner burner OFF and allow to cool for at least 2 minutes.

Reignite burner and burn on HIGH for at least 5 minutes, or until

the ceramic tiles are evenly glowing red.

Burner overheated because inadequate ventilation. Too

much grill surface covered by griddle or pan.

Ensure no more than 75% of the grill surface is covered by

objects or accessories. Turn burner OFF and allow to cool for at

least 2 minutes. Reignite.

Leaking gasket surrounding the ceramic tile, or a weld

failure in the burner housing.

Allow burner to cool and inspect very closely for cracks. Contact

your authorized Napoleon dealer to order replacement burner

assembly if any cracks are found.

Improper heating. Preheat grill with both main burners on high for 10 to 15 minutes.

Excessive grease and ash build on sear plates and in drip

pan.

Clean sear plates and drip pan regularly. Do not line pan with

aluminum foil. Refer to "Cleaning Instructions".

Peeling Paint

• Paint appears to be peeling inside lid or hood.

Possible causes Solution

Grease build-up on inside surfaces.

This is not a defect. The ﬁnish on the lid and hood is porcelain

or stainless steel and will not peel. The peeling is caused by

hardened grease, which dries into paint-like shards, that ﬂake off.

Regular cleaning will prevent this. See "Cleaning instructions".
