Leak Testing Instructions
WARNING! A leak test must be performed annually and each time a cylinder is hooked up or if a part of the gas system is replaced.

WARNING! Never use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be certain no sparks or open flames are in the area while you check for leaks. Sparks or open flames will result in a fire or explosion, damage to property, serious bodily injury, or death.

Leak testing: This must be done before initial use, annually, and whenever any gas components are replaced or serviced. Do not smoke while performing this test, and remove all sources of ignition. See Leak Testing Diagram for areas to check. Turn all burner controls to the off position. Turn gas supply valve on.

Brush a half-and-half solution of liquid soap and water onto all joints and connections of the regulator, hose, manifolds and valves.

Bubbles will indicate a gas leak. Either tighten the loose joint or have the part replaced with one recommended by the Napoleon Customer Solutions department and have the grill inspected by a certified gas installer.
If the leak cannot be stopped, immediately shut off the gas supply, disconnect it, and have the grill inspected by a certified gas installer or dealer. Do not use the grill until the leak has been corrected.

Igniter Front Burner Rear BurnerCooking Instructions
Initial Lighting: When lit for the first time, the gas grill emits a slight odor. This is a normal temporary condition caused by the "burn-in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and does not occur again. Simply run the main burners on high for approximately one-half hour.
Infrared Main Burner Use (If Equipped): Follow the Infrared Burner Ignition procedures and operate on high for 5 minutes with the lid closed or until the ceramic burners glow red. Place food on the grill(s) and cook according to times listed in the Infrared Grilling Chart. Depending upon your taste, continue cooking over infrared burners on high, medium, or low, turning food frequently, or place food over unlit burners, close lid, and allow the oven temperature to slowly finish cooking your food.

CAUTION! Due to the intense heat the infrared burners provide, food left unattended over burners will burn quickly. Keep the lid open when cooking with the infrared burners set to high. The intense heat ensures adequate searing temperatures even with the lid open. This also allows observation of the food to prevent burning.
Side Burner Use (if equipped): The side burner can be used like any stove top burner, for gravies, soups etc. For best performance, the gas grill should be located with the side burner protected from the wind.

WARNING! Never grill food directly on the side burner grate. It is designed for use with pots and pans only.
Infrared Heat
Most people don't realize that the heat source we are most familiar with, our sun, warms the earth using mainly infrared energy. This is a form of electro-magnetic energy with a wavelength just greater than the red end of the visible light spectrum but less than a radio wave. This energy was discovered in 1800 by Sir William Herschel who dispersed sunlight into its component colors using a prism. He showed that most of the heat in the beam fell into the spectral region just beyond the red end of the spectrum, where no visible light existed. Most materials readily absorb infrared energy in a wide range of wavelengths, causing an increase in its temperature. The same phenomenon causes us to feel warmth when we are exposed to sunlight. The infrared rays from the sun travel through the vacuum of space, through the atmosphere, and penetrate our skin. This causes increased molecular activity in the skin, which creates internal friction and generates heat, allowing us to feel warmth.
Foods cooked over infrared heat sources are heated by the same principle. Charcoal grilling is our most familiar choice for infrared cooking. The glowing briquettes emit infrared energy to the food being cooked with very little drying effect. Any juices or oils that escape from the food drip onto the charcoal and vaporize into smoke giving the food its delicious grilled taste. The Napoleon infrared burner cooks in the same way. In each burner, 10,000 ports – each with its own tiny flame – cause the surface of the ceramic tile to glow red. This glow emits the same type of infrared heat to the food as charcoal, without its hassle or mess. Infrared burners also provide a more consistently heated area that is far easier to regulate than a charcoal fire. For instant searing, the burners can be set to high, yet they can also be turned down for slower cooking. We all know how difficult that is on a charcoal fire. Traditional gas burners heat the food in a different way. The air surrounding the burner is heated by the combustion process and then rises to the food being cooked. This generates lower grill temperatures that are ideal for more delicate cuisine such as seafood or vegetables, whereas Napoleon's infrared burners produce searing heat for juicier, tastier steaks, hamburgers and other meats. For cooking times and tips refer to the Infrared Grilling Chart.

Cleaning Instructions

WARNING! Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when servicing your grill.
WARNING! To avoid the possibility of burns, maintenance should be done only when the grill is cool. Avoid unprotected contact with hot surfaces. Ensure all burners are turned off. Clean grill in an area where cleaning solutions will not harm decks, lawns, or patios. Do not use oven cleaner to clean any part of this gas grill. Do not use a self-cleaning oven to clean cooking grids or any other parts of the gas grill. Barbecue sauce and salt can be corrosive and will cause rapid deterioration of the gas grill components unless cleaned regularly.
Note: Stainless steel tends to oxidize or stain in the presence of chlorides and sulfides, particularly in coastal areas and other harsh environments, such as the warm, highly humid atmosphere around pools and hot tubs. These stains could be perceived as rust, but can be easily removed or prevented. To provide stain prevention and removal, wash all stainless steel and chrome surfaces every 3-4 weeks or as often as required with fresh water and/or stainless steel cleaner.
Grids And Warming Rack: The grids and warming rack are best cleaned with a brass wire brush during the pre-heating period. Steel wool can be used for stubborn stains. It is normal that stainless grids (if equipped) will discolor permanently from regular usage due to the high temperature of the cooking surface.
Control Panel: The control panel text is printed directly on the stainless steel and with proper maintenance will remain dark and legible. To clean the panel, use only warm soapy water or stainless steel cleaner available from your Napoleon dealer. Never apply abrasive cleaners on any stainless surfaces, especially the printed portion of the control panel or the printing will gradually rub off.
Infrared Burners: Because of the high intensity of the infrared burner, most drippings and food particles that fall onto the burner surface are immediately incinerated. However, some debris and residue may remain. To remove this residue after cooking, operate the grill on high for 5-10 minutes. Do not clean the ceramic tile with a wire brush.
Drip Pan: Accumulated grease is a fire hazard. Clean the drip pan frequently to avoid grease buildup. Grease and excess drippings pass through to the drip pan, located beneath the gas grill and accumulate. To clean, slide the drip pan free of the grill. Never line the drip pan with aluminum foil, sand or any other material as this could prevent the grease from flowing properly. The pan should be scraped out with a putty knife or scraper.

CAUTION! Ensure drip pan is empty and clean before transporting grill in vertical position.
Cleaning Inside The Gas Grill : Remove the cooking grids. Use a brass wire brush to clean loose debris from casting sides and underneath the lid. Brush all debris from inside the gas grill into the removable drip pan.
Cleaning The Outer Grill Surface: Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool on any painted, porcelain or stainless steel parts of your Napoleon Grill. Doing so will scratch the finish. Exterior grill surfaces should be cleaned with warm soapy water while the metal is still warm to the touch. To clean stainless surfaces, use a stainless steel or a non-abrasive cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain. Over time, stainless steel parts discolor when heated, usually to a golden or brown hue. This discoloration is normal and does not affect the performance of the grill. Porcelain enamel components must be handled with additional care. The baked-on enamel finish is glass-like, and will chip if struck. Touch-up enamel is available from your Napoleon Grill dealer.

Maintenance Instructions
We recommend this gas grill be thoroughly inspected and serviced annually by a qualified service person. At all times keep the gas grill area free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation and combustion air. Keep the cylinder enclosure ventilation openings (located on the cart sides and at the front and back of the bottom shelf) free and clear from debris.
WARNING! Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when cleaning your grill.
WARNING! Turn off the gas at the source and disconnect the unit before servicing. To avoid the possibility of burns, maintenance should be done only when the grill is cool. A leak test must be performed annually and whenever any component of the gas train is replaced or gas smell is present.
Aluminum Castings: Clean castings periodically with warm soapy water. Aluminum will not rust, but high temperatures and weathering can cause oxidation to occur on aluminum surfaces. This appears as white spots on the castings. To refinish these areas, clean first and sand lightly with fine sandpaper. Wipe the surface to remove any residue and paint with high temperature barbecue paint. Protect surrounding areas from over-spray. Follow the manufacture's directions for curing.
Protection Of Infrared Burners: The infrared burners of your grill are designed to provide a long service life, though care must taken to prevent cracking of their ceramic surfaces. Fractures will cause the burners to malfunction. The following provides a few of the causes of cracks and the steps you can take to avoid them. Damage caused by failure to follow these steps is not covered by your grill warranty.
- Impact with hard objects - Never allow hard objects to strike the ceramic. Take care when inserting or removing cooking grates and accessories into or from the grill.
- Contact with water or other liquids - Cold liquids contacting the hot ceramic surfaces can cause them to break. Never throw water into the grill to douse a flame. If the ceramic or interior of a burner becomes wet while not in use, later operation of the burner can create steam, which can produce sufficient pressure to crack the ceramic. Repeated soaking of the ceramic can also cause it to swell and expand. This expansion causes undue pressure on the ceramic that can cause it to crack and crumble.
i) Never throw water into the grill to control flare-ups. ii) Do not attempt to operate the infrared burners in open air while raining.
iii) If you find standing water in your grill (because of exposure to rainfall, sprinklers, etc.), inspect the ceramic for evidence of possible watersoaking. If the ceramic appears to be wet, remove the burner from the grill. Turn it upside down to drain the excess water and bring indoors to dry thoroughly. - Impaired ventilation of hot air from the grill - For the burners to function properly, hot air must have a way to escape the grill. If the hot air is not allowed to escape, the burners can become deprived of oxygen causing them to back-flash. If this occurs repeatedly, the ceramic could crack. Never cover more than 75% of the cooking surface with solid metal (i.e., griddle or large pan).
- Incorrect cleaning - Do not clean the ceramic tile with a wire brush. If debris is collecting on your burner, light the burner and operate on high for 5 minutes with the lid open, allowing debris to burn off.

CAUTION! Beware of Spiders
Spiders and insects are attracted to the smell of propane and natural gas. The nest or web will cause the burner to burn with a soft yellow or orange flame or cause a fire (flashback) at the air shutter beneath the control panel. To clean the inside of the burner, remove the cap and use a soft wire brush to remove any debris from the burner ports. Do not enlarge the ports. The burner caps are porcelain enamel and can be cleaned with warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly before re-installing.

| “Paint” appears to be peeling inside lid or hood. | Grease build-up on inside surfaces. | This is not a defect. The finish on the lid and hood is porcelain, and will not peel.

Ports are clogged.Burner overheated due to inadequate ventilation (too much grill surface covered by griddle or pan.)Cracked ceramic tile.Leaking gasket surrounding the ceramic tile, or a weld failure in the burner housing. | Turn burner off and allow to cool for at least two minutes. Relight burner and burn on high for at least five minutes or until the ceramic tiles are evenly glowing red.Ensure that no more than 75% of the grill surface is covered by objects or accessories. Turn burner off and allow to cool for at least two minutes, then relight.Allow burner to cool and inspect very closely for cracks.

CAUTION! During unpacking and assembly we recommended you wear work gloves and safety glasses for your protection. Although we make every effort to make the assembly process as problem free and safe as possible, it is characteristic of fabricated steel parts that the edges and corners might be sharp and could cause cuts if handled incorrectly.
WARNING! Construction materials and masonry dust may cause surface damage to units and accessories. The best option is to install components after all construction has been completed and the jobsite has been thoroughly cleaned. If the components must be installed prior to the construction being completed, then exposed surfaces need to be covered to prevent corrosion. All surfaces must be cleaned when construction is completed. Do not use murlatic acid to clean masonry materials from any surfaces. The lime contained in some construction materials is extremely corrosive. During its curing period, (1 - 2 months) it is recommended that a stainless steel polish or wax (car wax is acceptable) be applied to prevent direct contact of the lime materials.
- Remove all cart panels, hardware, and grill head from carton. Raise lid and remove any components packed inside. Use the parts list to ensure all necessary parts are included.
- Do not destroy packaging until the grill has been fully assembled and operates to your satisfaction.
- Assemble the grill where it is to be used, lay down cardboard or a towel to protect parts from being lost or damaged while assembling.
- Most stainless steel parts are supplied with a protective plastic coating that must be removed prior to using the grill. The protective coating has been removed from some of the parts during the manufacturing process and may have left behind a residue that can be perceived as scratches or blemishes. To remove the residue, vigorously wipe the stainless steel in the same direction as the grain.
- Follow all instructions in the order that they are laid out in this manual.
- Two people are required to lift the grill head onto the assembled cart.
If you have any questions about assembly or grill operation, or if there are damaged or missing parts please call our Customer Solutions Department at 1-866-820-8686 between 9 AM and 5 PM (Eastern Standard Time).
