leak teSt

Why and When to Leak Test?

A leak test conﬁrms no gas is escaping after you

connect the hose to the gas supply.

Each time the tank is reﬁlled and reinstalled,

ensure that there are no leaks in the ﬁtting where

the regulator connects to the tank.

Leak test this grill before use, annually, and when

any gas components are replaced.

Leak Test Steps

1. Do not smoke while performing the test.

2. Remove all sources of ignition.

3. Turn all burner controls to the off position.

4. Turn the gas supply valve on.

5. Brush a half-and-half solution liquid soap and

water onto all joints and connections of the

regulator, hose, manifolds, and valves.

6. Bubbles indicate a gas leak.

WARNING! Never use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Sparks or flames will cause a fire, explosion, damage

to property, serious physical injury, or death.

WARNING! Only use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the grill.

!

If you ﬁnd a leak

1. Tighten any loose joints.

2. If the leak cannot be stopped, immediately shut off the gas

supply and disconnect the grill.

3. Have the grill inspected by a certiﬁed installer, or dealer.

4. Do not use the grill until the leak has been ﬁxed.

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 pre-heating

to reduce sticking when grilling lean meat such as

chicken breast, or pork.

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.

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.

Grilling at night

Illuminate the control knobs by pushing the lightbulb icon on the control

panel.

• 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.

how to uSe the rear Burner & rotiSSerie

(IF EQUIPPED)

Using the rear burner and spit rod

1. Remove the warming rack prior to using the rear burner and

spit rod. Extreme heat will damage the warming rack.

2. Remove the rotisserie motor from the gas grill.

3. Install the rotisserie motor on the applicable brackets.

Thread the meat you’re cooking onto the spit rod along with

the rotisserie fork. Slide the meat into the rotisserie fork to

hold in place.

4. Slide the second rotisserie fork onto the opposite end of the

spit rod and push into other end of meat until secure.

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

components unless cleaned regularly.

WARNING! Disassemble rotisserie components when finished cooking, wash with warm soapy water, and store

indoors.

WARNING! Use heat resistant grilling gloves when handling the hot rotisserie components.

!

5. Slide the counterbalance onto the spit rod.

6. Hang the spit rod across the hangers. The heavy side of

the meat will naturally hang down.

7. Tighten the counterbalance arm and weight, so the arm

is facing up.

8. Slide the counterweight accordingly to balance the load,

and tighten in place.

9. Reinstall motor. Begin cooking.

10. Place a metal dish under the meat to collect the

drippings.

Tips about using the rotisserie:

• Operate the rear burner on high until the meat

browns. Reduce heat. Keep lid closed. Cook

thoroughly.

• 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.

How to cook up to 3 chickens

1. Tie or skewer wings to the body of the

chickens.

2. Thread 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. Thread second rotisserie fork onto spit rod

and push into chicken until all 3 chickens

are squeezed together tightly. Tighten.

Cleaning Instructions

First time use

1. Wash grids by hand with water and mild dish soap to remove

any residue from the manufacturing process. DO NOT wash in a

dishwasher.

2. Rinse thoroughly with hot water and dry completely with a soft cloth

to prevent moisture from entering the cast iron

Cast Iron grids

• Coat the entire surface of the grids with vegetable shortening NOT

salted fats like butter or margarine.

• Preheat your grill to burn off excess residue.

• Clean grids with a brass wire brush.

• Steel wool can be used for stubborn stains. Use heat resistant

grilling gloves when handling hot grids.

• Season your grids to add a protective coating to prevent corrosion

See Grilling Tips – How to season your grill.

Stainless Steel Grids

• Stainless steel cooking grids can be cleaned by preheating the grill

and using a wire brush to remove residue.

• Stainless steel grids will permanently discolor from regular use

because of high temperatures when grilling.

Infrared side burner

• Most drippings and food particles that fall on the infrared burner

surface incinerates immediately because of the high intensity heat.

• Do not clean the ceramic tile with a wire brush.

• Do not use water or other liquids to clean the burner. An immediate

change in temperature will cause cracking of the ceramic tile.

• Light burner and operate on high for 5-10 minutes to remove any

left-over residue.

Inside of the grill

1. Remove the cooking grids.

2. Use a brass wire brush to clean loose debris from the casting sides

and underneath the lid.

3. Scrape the sear plates with a putty knife or scraper. Use a wire

brush to remove the ash.

4. Remove the sear plates and brush debris from the burners with a

wire brush.

5. Sweep debris from inside the grill into the drip pan.

WARNING! Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when cleaning your grill.

WARNING! Accumulated grease is a fire hazard.

WARNING! Cleaning should only be done when the grill is cool to avoid the possibility of

burns.

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 gas grill

components unless cleaned regularly.

Drip pan

• Grease and excess drippings collect in the drip pan

located beneath the grill and accumulate in the

disposable grease tray below the drip pan.

• Never line the drip pan with aluminum foil, sand or

any other material. This can prevent grease from

flowing properly.

• Clean frequently to avoid grease build-up:

approximately every 2 to 4 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 or 3

weeks depending on grill usage.

4. See your Napoleon Grill dealer for supplies.

Control panel

ONLY use warm soapy water or stainless steel cleaner.

The control panel text is printed directly on the stainless

steel and will gradually rub off if abrasive cleaners are

used. Proper cleaning of the control panel will ensure 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 section for directions on how

to repair and paint oxidized aluminium.

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.

• Touch up enamel is available at your Napoleon Grill

dealer.

• 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 the smell of propane and natural

gas. 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 gas 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 paperclip, 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 ﬂow of the burner.

9. Do not enlarge the holes

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.

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.

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 caused 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.

Impaired ventilation of hot air from the grill

• 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.

Hose Maintenance

• Inspect the hose before each use. Do not use the hose if there is

evidence of excessive abrasions, melting or cuts.

• If the hose is damaged, replace it with a regulator and hose

assembly specifically recommended by Napoleon.

!

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 the cooking

surface with solid

metal i.e. griddle or

large pan.

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 “INSECT SCREEN AND BURNER PORT” on page 16.

Improper air shutter adjustment.

Open or close air shutter slightly according to the instructions on

this manual. See “ADJUSTING AIR SHUTTER” on page 17.

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.

Ensure igniting 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 – Igniting

Instructions.

Peeling paint, Noises and Flare-ups.

• Humming regulator

• Excessive ﬂare-ups and uneven heat

Possible causes Solution

Normal humming noise on hot days.

This isn’t a defect. It’s caused by internal vibrations in the regulator

and doesn’t affect the performance or safety of the gas grill.

Humming regulators WILL NOT be replaced.

The cylinder valve was opened too quickly. Open cylinder valve slowly

Sear plates installed incorrectly.

Ensure sear plates are installed with holes towards the front, and

the slots on the bottom. See Assembly Instructions Guide.

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

aluminium foil. Refer to Cleaning Instructions.

• 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,

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.
