Cylinder Connection

NOTE! Some regulator hoses contain a nut and a left hand thread, and others must press ON to connect and OFF to detach. Follow the instructions provided below for the appropriate regulator hose.

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, and have the grill inspected by a certified gas installer or dealer. Do not use the grill the leak been corrected.

Lighting Instructions

WARNING! Open lid Off Position

WARNING! Ensure all burner controls are in the off position. Slowly turn on the cylinder gas supply valve.

Main Burner Lighting

1. Open grill lid

2. Push and turn any main burner control knob slowly to the ‘hi’ position. This action

will ignite the selected burner.

3. If the burner does not ignite, then immediately turn the control knob back to the ‘off’ position and repeat step 2 several times.

4. If the burner will not ignite within 5 seconds, turn the control knob to the ‘off’ position and wait 5 minutes for any excess gas to dissipate, either repeat steps 2 and 3

or light with a match.

5. If lighting the unit with a match, clip the match into the supplied lighting rod. Hold

the lit match down through the grill while turning the corresponding burner valve to high.

Cooking Instructions

WARNING! Do not use this grill under extended awnings. Failure to follow these instructions could result in a fire or personal injury.
DANGER! Allow the grill to cool to the touch before moving or storing. Failure to do so could result in a fire resulting in property damage, personal injury or death.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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 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.

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 attach the cross light bracket and the burner to the base. Slide the burner back and upwards 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 to clean them. The ports are easier to clean if the burner is removed from the grill, but it can also be done with the burner installed.

CAUTION! 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 cross light bracket and tighten screws to complete reinstallation.

WARNING! When reinstalling the burner after cleaning it is very important that the valve/orifice enters the burner tube before lighting your gas grill. If the valve is not inside the burner tube a fire or explosion could occur .

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.

Cast Aluminum Lid: Your grill is equipped with a cast aluminum lid which will not rust and can easily be refinished. The inside of the lid is raw aluminum, flow marks and releasing agent marks may be present, this is not a defect but marks from the mold which is used in the manufacturing process.
Clean the lid periodically with warm soapy water. Although cast aluminum will not rust, high temperatures and weathering can cause oxidation to occur on aluminum surfaces. This appears as white spots on the casting. 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.

Parts List

Troubleshooting

Improper preheating.

| Check for spider webs in the burner or orifice.

Preheat grill with main burners on high for 5 to 10

minutes.

Excessive flare-ups/

uneven heat.

| Improper preheating.

Excessive grease and ash build up in drip pan.

| Preheat grill with both main burners on high for 5 to

10 minutes.

Clean 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, or improper air shutter adjustment.| Thoroughly clean burner by removing. See general

maintenance instructions. Open air shutter slightly according to combustion air adjustment instructions. (This must be done by a qualified gas installer.)

Flames lift away from burner, accompanied by the smell of gas, and possibly difficulties in lighting.| Improper air shutter adjustment.| Close air shutter slightly according to combustion air adjustment instructions. (This must be done by a qualified gas installer.)
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.
