Cooking 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.

Do not locate this gas grill in windy settings. High winds adversely affect the cooking performance of the gas grill. In extreme circumstances when consistent high winds come from directly behind the unit, heat can vent underneath the control panel. This may cause the control panel to become extremely hot to touch and the knobs to deform.

Napoleon offers an optional wind deflector illustrated below. Install this wind deflector to help prevent the possibility of improper heat build up.

NOTE! Napoleon is not responsible for: over firing, blow outs caused by environmental conditions such as strong winds, or inadequate ventilation.

Main Burner Use: When searing foods, we recommend preheating the grill by operating all main burners in the high position with the lid closed for approximately 10 minutes. Food cooked for short periods of time (fish, vegetables) can be grilled with the lid open. Cooking with the lid closed will ensure higher, more even temperatures that can reduce cooking time and cook meat more evenly. Food that has a cooking time longer than 30 minutes, such as roasts, can be cooked indirectly (with the burner lit opposite to the food placement). When cooking very lean meats, such as chicken breasts or lean pork, the grids can be oiled before pre-heating to reduce sticking. Cooking meat with a high degree of fat content can create flare-ups. Either trim the fat or reduce temperatures to inhibit this. Should a flare-up occur, move food away from the flames and reduce the heat. Leave the lid open. See Your All Season Grill cookbook by Napoleon for more detailed instructions.

Direct Cooking: Place food to be cooked on the grill directly over the heat. This method is generally used for searing or for foods that do not require prolonged cooking times such as hamburgers, steaks, chicken pieces, or vegetables. The food is first seared to trap-in the juices and flavor, and then the temperature is lowered to finish cooking the food to your preference.

Indirect Cooking: With one or more burners operating, place food to be cooked on the grill over a burner that is not operating. The heat circulates around the food, cooking slowly and evenly. Cooking with this method is much the same as cooking in your oven and is generally used for larger cuts of meats such as roasts, chickens or turkeys, but can also be used for cooking foods that are prone to flare-ups or for smoking foods. Lower temperatures and slower cooking times result in tender foods.

Rear Burner Use (If Equipped): Remove the warming rack prior to use, the extreme heat will damage the warming rack. Cooking grids should also be removed if they interfere with the rotisserie. The rear burner is designed to be used in conjunction with the rotisserie kit available from your dealer. See the rotisserie kit assembly instructions.

To use the counterbalance - remove the rotisserie motor from the gas grill. Place the spit with meat being cooked across the hangers inside the grill. The meat will naturally hang with the heavy side down. Tighten the counterbalance arm and weight so the arm is facing up. Slide the counterweight in or out to balance the load and tighten in place. Re-install the motor and begin cooking. Place a metal dish underneath the meat to collect drippings for basting and naturally delicious gravy. Basting liquid may be added as required. To seal in juices, first operate rear burner on high until brown, then reduce the heat to thoroughly cook foods. Keep the lid closed for best results. Your roasts and fowl will brown perfectly on the outside and stay moist and tender on the inside. For example, a 3-pound chicken on the rotisserie will be done in approximately 1½ hours on medium to high. Search Grill Master Recipes at https://www.napoleon.com/en/us/grills/recipes for “rotisserie”.

Napoleon Grills Prestige 500 - Cooking Instructions - 5

ATTENTION! Barbecue sauce and salt can be corrosive and will cause rapid deterioration of the gas grill components unless cleaned regularly. When finished cooking disassemble rotisserie components, wash thoroughly with warm soapy water and store indoors.

Infrared Side Burner Use: The gas grill should be located so that the side burner is protected from the wind, because the wind will adversely affect its performance. The recommended pan diameter is 250 to 300 mm.

The side burner is equipped with a cooking grid which can be positioned at two different heights. The lower position can be used like any range top burner, for gravies, soups, etc. The higher position is for searing meats. (see instructions located on side burner lid).

Napoleon Grills Prestige 500 - Cooking Instructions - 6

WARNING! Do not close the side burner lid while it is operating or hot.

WARNING! Do not adjust cooking grid while hot or operating.

WARNING! Do not use side burner to deep fry foods as cooking with oil can create a dangerous situation.

Follow the infrared side burner lighting instructions and operate on high for 5 minutes with the lid opened or until the ceramic burners glow red.

Place food on grills 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 on the main burner area of the grill, close lid, and allow oven temperature to slowly finish cooking your food.

11

CAUTION! Due to the intense heat the infrared burners provide, food left unattended over burners will burn quickly.

Protection Of Your Infra Red Burners: The infrared burners of your grill are designed to provide a long service life. However, there are steps you must take to prevent cracking of their ceramic surfaces, which will cause the burners to malfunction.

  • Never let water come in direct contact with your ceramic burner.
  • Do not allow hard objects to impact the infra red burner.
  • Do not allow cold water (rain, sprinkler, hose, etc.) to come in contact with hot ceramic burners. A large temperature differential can cause cracking of the ceramic tile.
  • Keep the lid closed when the side burner is not in use.
    • After cooking operate the burner on high for 5 minutes, to burn off any drippings and debris.

Damage caused by failure to follow these steps is not covered by your grill warranty.

Napoleon Grills Prestige 500 - Cooking Instructions - 7

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.

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.

Cast Iron Cooking Grids: The cast iron cooking grids supplied with your new grill offer superior heat retention and distribution. By regularly seasoning your grids you are adding a protective coating, which will aid in resisting corrosion and increase your grids non-stick capabilities.

First Time Use: Wash the cooking grids by hand with mild dish soap and water to remove any residue from the manufacturing process (never wash in a dish washer). Rinse thoroughly with hot water and dry completely with a soft cloth. This is important to avoid moisture from entering the cast iron.

Seasoning: Using a soft cloth, spread VEGETABLE SHORTENING over the entire grid surface ensuring all grooves and corners are covered. Do not use salted fats such as butter or margarine. Pre-heat your grill for 15 minutes, then place the seasoned cooking grids in the grill. Turn the burner control knobs to medium with the lid closed. Allow the cooking grids to heat for approximately one-half hour. Turn all the burners to the "OFF" position and turn the gas off at the source. Let the cooking grids stand until cool. This procedure should be repeated several times throughout the season, although it is not required for daily use (follow daily usage procedure below).

Daily Usage: Before pre-heating, and cleaning with a brass wire grill brush, coat the entire top surface of the cooking grids with VEGETABLE SHORTENING. Pre-heat the grill and then brush away any unwanted residue with a brass wire brush.

Stainless Steel Cooking Grids: (upgrade kit available - see replacement parts list). Stainless steel cooking grids are durable and corrosion resistant. They require less seasoning and maintenance than cast iron cooking grids. It is recommended that you follow the daily usage procedure listed above although you may find pre-heating and cleaning your grids with a wire brush is sufficient for your grilling needs.

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. Never apply abrasive cleaners on any stainless surfaces, especially the printed portion of the control panel or the printing will gradually rub off.

Cleaning Inside The Gas Grill: Remove the cooking grids. Use a brass wire brush to clean loose debris from the casting sides and underneath the lid. Scrape the sear plates with a putty knife or scraper, and use a wire brush to remove the ash. Remove the sear plates and brush debris from the burners with the brass wire brush. Sweep all debris from inside the gas grill into the drip pan.

Napoleon Grills Prestige 500 - Cleaning Instructions - 1

WARNING! Accumulated grease is a fire hazard.

Drip Pan: Clean the drip pan frequently (every 4 – 5 uses or as often as required) to avoid grease buildup. Grease and excess drippings pass through to the drip pan, located beneath the gas grill and accumulate in the disposable grease tray below the drip pan. To access the disposable grease tray or to clean the drip pan, 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. Replace the disposable grease tray every 2 – 4 weeks, depending on gas grill usage. For supplies, see your Napoleon Grill dealer.

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.

Burner: The burner is made from heavy wall 304 stainless steel, but extreme heat and a corrosive environment can cause surface corrosion to occur. This can be removed with a brass wire brush.

CAUTION! Beware of Spiders.

Spiders and insects are attracted to the smell of propane and natural gas. The burner is equipped with an insect screen on the air shutter, which reduces the likelihood of insects building nests inside the burner but does not entirely eliminate the problem. A nest or web can cause the burner to burn with a soft yellow or orange flame or cause a fire (flashback) at the air shutter underneath the control panel. To clean the inside of the burner, it must be removed from the gas grill: Remove the screw (s) that attaches the burner to the back wall. Slide the burner back and up wards to remove. Cleaning: Use a flexible venturi tube brush to clean the inside of the burner. Shake any loose debris from the burner through the gas inlet. Check the burner ports and valve orifices for blockages. Burner ports can close over time due to cooking debris and corrosion, use an opened paperclip or the supplied port maintenance bit to clean them. Drill out blocked ports using this drill bit in a small cordless drill. The ports are easier to clean if the burner is removed from the grill, but it can also be done with the burner installed. Do not flex the drill bit when drilling the ports, as this will cause the drill bit to break. This drill is for burner ports only, not for the brass orifices (jets) which regulate the flow into the burner. Take care not to enlarge the holes. Ensure the insect screen is clean, tight, and free of any lint or other debris.

Reinstallation: Reverse the procedure to reinstall the burner. Check that the valve enters the burner when installing. Replace sear plate mount and / or tighten screws to complete reinstallation.

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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

  1. 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).
  2. 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! Check for abrasions, melting, cuts, and cracks in the hose. If any of these conditions exist, do not use the gas grill. Have the part replaced by your Napoleon Grill dealer or qualified gas installer.

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.

Troubleshooting

Problem PossibleCauses Solution
Low heat / Low flame when valve turned to high.For propane - improper lighting procedure.For natural gas - undersized supply line.For both gases - improper preheating.Ensure lighting procedure is followed carefully. All gas grill valves must be in the off position when the tank valve is turned on. Turn tank on slowly to allow pressure to equalize. See lighting instructions.Pipe must be sized according to installation code.Preheat grill with both main burners on high for 10 to 15 minutes.
Excessive flare-ups/uneven heat.Sear plates installed incorrectly.Improper preheating.Excessive grease and ash build on sear plates and in drip pan.See assembly instructions.Preheat grill with main burners on high for 10 to 15 minutes.Clean sear plates and drip pan regularly. Do not line pan with aluminum foil. Refer to cleaning instructions.
Burners burn with yellow flame, accompanied by the smell of gas.Possible spider web or other debris in burner.Thoroughly clean burner by removing. See general maintenance instructions.
Rear and Side burners will not light with the igniter, but will light with a match.Dead battery / or installed incorrectly. Loose electrode wire or switch terminal wires.Replace with heavy duty premium battery. Check that electrode wire is firmly pushed onto the terminal on the back of the igniter. Check that the lead wires from the module to the ignition switch (if equipped) are firmly pushed onto their respective terminals.
Main burner will not light with the igniter, but will light with a match.Jet-fire outlet is dirty or clogged. Clean jet-fire outlet with a soft bristle brush.
Humming regulator. Normaloccurrence on hot days. This is not a defectIt is caused by internal vibrations in the regulator and does not affect the performance or safety of the gas grill.Humming regulators will not be replaced.
Burners will not cross light each other.Dirty or corroded cross light brackets. Clean or replace as required.
“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. The peeling is caused by hardened grease, which dries into paint-like shards, that flake off. Regular cleaning will prevent this. See cleaning instructions.
Burner output on “high” setting is too low.(Rumbling noise and fluttering blue flame at burner surface.)Lack of gas.Supply hose is pinched.Dirty or clogged orifice.Spider webs or other matter in venturi tube.Check gas level in propane cylinder.Reposition supply hose as necessary.Clean burner orifice.Clean out venturi tube.
Illumination and Side/Rear burner Ignition do not workElectric power is outThe grill is not receiving electric powerCheck and replace the batteries in the battery box if it ran outEnsure the grill is connected between the battery box and the control panel connector

Problem PossibleCauses Solution
Infrared burner (if equipped) flashes back (during operation the burner abruptly makes a loud “whoosh” sound, followed by a continuous blow-torch type sound and grows dim.)Ceramic tiles overloaded with grease drippings and build-up. 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. If any cracks are found, contact your authorized Napoleon dealer to order a replacement burner assembly.Contact your authorized Napoleon dealer for instructions on ordering a replacement burner assembly.
Pilot will not light.(if equipped)Lack of gas.Obstruction in pilot orifice.Electrode wire loose or off.Dirty pilot electrode.Pilot is actually lit.After turning pilot knob to high, wait approximately 20-30 seconds for air to purge the gas supply line while pressing igniter. Fill propane cylinder. During initial set-up or after tank has been refilled, it is best to light one of the tube burners before lighting the pilot burner. This enables the gas to reach the valves on the manifold more quickly.Clean pilot orifice.Replace lead wire.Clean pilot electrode.The pilot flame, especially on natural gas units is very difficult to see. Place your hand 1 in. (2.5 cm) above grill surface over the pilot burner to feel for heat.

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.

Getting Started

  1. 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.
  2. Do not destroy packaging until the grill has been fully assembled and operates to your satisfaction.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

  5. Follow all instructions in the order that they are laid out in this manual.

  6. Two people are required to lift the grill head onto the assembled cart.

Leak Testing Instructions

Napoleon Grills Prestige 500 - Leak Testing Instructions - 1

text_image ! ! NO NO STOP

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.
