FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - BI32, BI12 & BI10, BIG32, BIG38 & BIG44, BIB10, BIB12 & BIB18 NAPOLEON GRILLS

Comment effectuer le test de fuite de gaz ?
Mélangez une solution moitié eau moitié savon liquide et appliquez-la sur tous les raccords. Si des bulles apparaissent, il y a une fuite. Serrez les raccords ou remplacez le flexible. Ne jamais utiliser une flamme nue pour vérifier les fuites.
Que faire si les brûleurs ne s'allument pas avec l'allumeur ?
Vérifiez la pile de l'allumeur (remplacez-la par une pile neuve), nettoyez la sortie Jetfire™ avec une brosse douce, et assurez-vous que les fils de l'électrode sont bien connectés. Si nécessaire, allumez avec une allumette.
Comment nettoyer les grilles de cuisson en fonte ?
Lavez à la main avec de l'eau chaude savonneuse, rincez et séchez complètement. Huilez légèrement avec de l'huile végétale et faites chauffer le barbecue à 350-400°F pendant 30 minutes pour les ré-assaisonner.
Quelle est la procédure pour allumer le barbecue ?
Ouvrez le couvercle, tournez lentement le bouton de commande du brûleur principal sur HIGH en appuyant jusqu'à ce que le brûleur s'allume. Si cela ne fonctionne pas après 5 secondes, attendez 5 minutes que le gaz se dissipe, puis réessayez ou utilisez une allumette.
Comment installer le kit rotissoire ?
Retirez la grille de réchauffage, montez le moteur sur le support latéral, enfilez la viande sur la broche avec les fourchettes, placez la broche sur les supports et insérez l'extrémité dans le moteur. Utilisez le brûleur arrière à feu vif pour saisir, puis réduisez.
Pourquoi les flammes sont-elles jaunes et lentes ?
Cela indique un manque d'air. Vérifiez que les persiennes d'air ne sont pas obstruées par des toiles d'araignée ou des débris. Nettoyez les brûleurs et les orifices avec une brosse ou un trombone déplié.
Comment entretenir les brûleurs infrarouges ?
Ne jamais utiliser d'eau ou de brosse métallique sur la céramique. Faites fonctionner le brûleur à feu vif pendant 5 à 10 minutes pour brûler les résidus. Évitez tout choc thermique (eau froide sur brûleur chaud) qui pourrait fissurer la céramique.
Quelle est la distance minimale par rapport aux matériaux combustibles ?
L'arrière du barbecue doit être à au moins 17 pouces (431 mm) des parois combustibles, et les côtés à 9 pouces (229 mm). Pour le modèle BIB18PB, les côtés doivent être à 20 pouces (508 mm).
Comment stocker la bouteille de propane ?
La bouteille doit être stockée à l'extérieur, dans un endroit bien ventilé, loin des enfants et des sources de chaleur. Ne jamais stocker de bouteille de rechange dans l'enceinte du barbecue ou dans un bâtiment.
Que faire en cas d'incendie de graisse ?
Coupez l'alimentation en gaz, éteignez les brûleurs et laissez le couvercle fermé pour étouffer les flammes. N'utilisez pas d'eau. Après refroidissement, nettoyez soigneusement le bac à graisse et les plaques de chasse.

GAS CONNECTIONS

Gas Cylinder

Use a propane cylinder of minimum 6kg or a butane cylinder of 13kg constructed and marked in accordance with national and regional codes. Ensure that the cylinder can provide enough fuel to operate the appliance. If in doubt, check with your local gas supplier.

Note: For optimal performance, operate the grill on propane gas.

Only cylinders connected to the appliance may be stored in the enclosure. Only place cylinders within the maximum width and height dimensions in the built in enclosure. Spare cylinders must not be stored in the enclosure, or in close proximity with an operating unit.

Gas Hose

Use a gas pressure regulator and hose supplied by Napoleon; if not included, use a regulator and hose that meet national and regional codes.

The recommended length of the hose is 0.9m . The hose must never be longer than 1.5m .

Check the hose regularly for rips melting or wear. Replace if needed.

Note: The hose should be replaced before the expiry date printed on it.

Built-in Enclosure

  • The design of the enclosure should allow for the gas cylinder to be connected, disconnected, and the connections inspected and tested outside of it. The connections that could possibly be disturbed when installing the cylinder in the enclosure can be leak tested inside.
  • The cylinder must be isolated from the grill enclosure, and protected from radiation, flames, hot drippings, and other foreign or hazardous materials.
  • A door on the enclosure to access the cylinder is acceptable if it is non-locking and can be opened without using tools.
    There must be a minimum clearance of 2 in (5.08 cm) between the floor of the cylinder enclosure and the ground.
  • Ensure there are at least two unobstructed ventilation openings on the exposed exterior side of enclosure, one within 5 inches (12.7 cm) of the top of the enclosure, and another within 1 inch (2.54 cm) of the cylinder opening's bottom surface.
  • The top opening must have a total free area of more than 20 in^2 ( 130 ~cm^2 ) for a 20 lb ( 9.1 ~kg ) cylinder and 30 in^2 ( 195 ~cm^2 ) for a 30 lb ( 13.6 ~kg ) cylinder
  • The bottom opening must have a total free area of more than 10 in^2 ( 65 cm^2 ) for a 20 lb ( 9.1 kg ) cylinder and 15 in ^2 ( 100 cm^2 ) for a 30 lb ( 13.6 kg ) cylinder.
  • The upper edge must be no more than 5 in (127 mm) above the floor level.
  • Every opening must be large enough to permit the entrance of a 1/8 in (3.2 ~mm) rod.
  • The opening must have a free area depending on the cylinder size:

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.

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.

Operation

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).

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.

NAPOLEON GRILLS BI32, BI12 & BI10, BIG32, BIG38 & BIG44, BIB10, BIB12 & BIB18 - Direct Grilling - 1

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.

NAPOLEON GRILLS BI32, BI12 & BI10, BIG32, BIG38 & BIG44, BIB10, BIB12 & BIB18 - Indirect Grilling - 1

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.

BE CAREFUL!

NAPOLEON GRILLS BI32, BI12 & BI10, BIG32, BIG38 & BIG44, BIB10, BIB12 & BIB18 - BE CAREFUL! - 1

The lid of the grill and the entire firebox can become very hot when in use.

WARNING! Never grill food directly on the flame side burner. It is designed for use with pots and pans only.

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

WARNING! Do not deep fry food on the side burner. Cooking with oil can be dangerous.

WARNING! Regularly clean grease out of the entire unit, including the grease tray and the sear plates, to avoid build-up and grease fires.

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.

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

  • Season your grids to add a protective coating to prevent corrosion. See Grilling Tips – How to Season your Cast Iron Cooking Grids.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

NAPOLEON GRILLS BI32, BI12 & BI10, BIG32, BIG38 & BIG44, BIB10, BIB12 & BIB18 - Maintenance and Protection of Infrared Burners - 1

IMPORTANT! Damage resulting from by failure to follow these instructions is NOT covered by your grill warranty.

Steps to Avoid Damaging Ceramic Surfaces

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

SAFETY FIRST!

NAPOLEON GRILLS BI32, BI12 & BI10, BIG32, BIG38 & BIG44, BIB10, BIB12 & BIB18 - SAFETY FIRST! - 1

Never cover more than 75% of any main or side burner cooking surface with any solid metal (e.g. griddles or pans)

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.

Troubleshooting

Lighting Problems

  • Main, rear or side burners will not light with the igniter, but will light with a match.
  • Burners will not cross light each other.
Possible causesSolution
Main BurnerJETFIRE™ outlet is dirty or cloggedClean JETFIRE™ outlet with a soft bristle brush.
Dirty or corroded cross light brackets.Clean or replace as required.
Dead battery, or installed incorrectly.Replace with premium heavy-duty battery.
Rear and Side BurnersLoose electrode wire or switch terminal wires.Check electrode wire is firmly pushed onto the terminal on the back of the igniter. Check the lead wires from the module to the ignition switch (if equipped) are firmly pushed onto their respective terminals.
Lifting flames on burner.Close air shutter according to “Maintenance Instructions”-Combustion Air Adjustment section in this Owner’s Manual. IMPORTANT! This must be done by a qualified gas installer.

Noises and Flare-ups

  • Humming regulator.
  • Excessive flare-ups and uneven heat.
Possible causesSolution
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 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 aluminum foil. Refer to "Cleaning Instructions".

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 causesSolution
Propane – improper lighting procedureEnsure 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 causes

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 gasCheck 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

Ceramic tiles overloaded with grease drippings and build-up. Ports are cloggedTurner 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

Grease build-up on inside surfaces.

Solution

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".
