Propane Cylinder Specifications

WARNING! If these instructions are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
WARNING! Do not store a spare propane cylinder on the shelf beneath the barbecue.
If the gas grill is being supplied with propane from a portable cylinder, a regulator specified by the manufacturer must be used. The regulator must supply a pressure of 11 inches water column (0.39 PSI) to the gas grill and have a QCC1 type fitting. Cylinders to be used with this unit must be supplied with a QCC1 cylinder valve. A QCC1 cylinder has a positive seating connection, which will not allow gas flow until a positive seal has been achieved. It is also equipped with an excess flow device. In order to attain full flow to the grill, the valves must be in the off position when the cylinder valve is turned on.
A dented or rusty cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your propane supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Use only a propane supply cylinder constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP-gas cylinders of the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-b339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable or the Specifications for LP-Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.). Cart models have been designed for use with a 20 lb (9.1 kg) size propane cylinder only (not supplied).
The propane cylinder must be provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking appliances. The propane cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in a propane cylinder valve type QCC1, and a safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and the cylinder shall include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The cylinder shall incorporate a listed OPD (overfill protection device). Do not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full. If the preceding information is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

Gas Hook-Up Instructions

WARNING! This grill is designed for non-combustible enclosures only, and must be installed and serviced by a qualified installer to local codes.
WARNING! Cabinet frame, cabinet, and counter top must be made from non- combustible material.
WARNING! As indicated on the rating plate, this gas grill is designed to operate with gas supply pressures of 11” WC for Propane and 7” WC for Natural Gas. For installations where the gas supply pressure exceeds these requirements, a regulator must be installed upstream of the grill’s components.
If the gas supply pressure is lower than these requirements, the unit will be under-fired and will not reach the maximum temperatures. Ensure that the supply line size complies with local and/or national installation codes.
BUILT IN PROPANE GAS HOOK-UP: The piping up to the gas grill is the responsibility of the installer and piping should be located as shown in the built-in instructions. A flexible metal connector is included to simplify the installation of the unit. Connect this flexible metal connector to the flare fitting on the end of the manifold. Connect the other end of the connector to the gas piping. Ensure that the connector does not pass through a wall, floor, ceiling or partition, and is protected from damage. Do not use a hose to connect the unit except to connect the cylinder regulator to the piping system. It must be connected with rigid pipe, copper tube or an approved flexible metal connector which complies with Z21.24/ CSA 6.10 or ANSI Z21.75/CSA 6.27.
The installation must comply with CAN B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane installation code in Canada, or to the National Fuel Gas code, ANSI Z223.1 in the United States. The gas supply pipe must be sufficiently sized to supply the BTU/h specified on the rating plate, based on the length of the piping run. If installing a side burner, a separate line must be branched off to the side burner unit and enter the side burner opening at the specified location. If the enclosure is to house a propane cylinder, the tank portion of the enclosure must be ventilated according to local codes, and must not have communication with the cavity used to enclose the gas grill. A propane cylinder can not be stored below the gas grill.

BUILT IN CYLINDER ENCLOSURES: Built in cylinder enclosures which completely enclose the cylinder must have both of the following:

1. At least one unobstructed ventilation opening on the exposed exterior side of the enclosure located within 5 in (127mm) of the top of the enclosure. The opening must have a total free area of more than 20 in2 (130 cm2 ) for a 20 lb (9.1 kg) cylinder and 30 in2 (195 cm2 ) for a 30 lb (13.6 kg) cylinder.
2. At least one ventilation opening on the exposed, exterior side of the enclosure located 1 in (25.4 mm) or less from the floor level. The opening must have a total free area of more than 10 in2 (65 cm2 ) for a 20 lb (9.1 kg) cylinder and 15 in2 (100 cm2 ) 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.

WARNING!

• The cylinder valve(s) must be readily accessible for hand operation. A door on the enclosure to gain access to the cylinder valves is acceptable, provided it is non-locking and can be opened without the use of tools.
• The enclosure for the LP-gas cylinder must isolate the cylinder from the burner compartment to provide shielding from radiation, a flame barrier, and protection from foreign material, such as hot drippings. The enclosure cannot be located directly below the grill.
• There must be a minimum clearance of 2 in (51 mm) between the floor of the LP-gas cylinder enclosure and the ground.
• The enclosure must be designed so that the LP-gas cylinder can be connected, disconnected and the connections inspected and tested outside the cylinder enclosure. Any connections that can be disturbed when installing the cylinder in the enclosure must be accessible for testing inside the enclosure.

BUILT IN NATURAL GAS HOOK-UP: The piping up to the gas grill is the responsibility of the installer and piping should be located as shown in the built-in instructions. A flexible metal connector is included to simplify the installation of the unit. Connect this connector to the flare fitting on the end of the manifold.
Connect the other end of the connector to the gas piping. Ensure that the connector does not pass through a wall, floor, ceiling or partition, and is protected from damage. Do not use a hose to connect the unit. It must be connected with rigid pipe, copper tube or an approved flexible metal connector which complies with Z21.4 /CSA 6.10 or ANSI Z21.75/CSA 6.27.
The installation must comply with CAN B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code in Canada, or to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 in the United States. The gas supply pipe must be sufficiently sized to supply the BTU/h specified on the rating plate, based on the length of the piping run. If installing a side burner, a separate line must be branched off to the side burner unit and enter the side burner opening at the specified location.

WARNING! Built in units are supplied with a drip pan which holds only a minimal amount of grease. To prevent grease fires, the pan must be cleaned after each use.
WARNING! Access must be provided to the inside of the enclosure to make gas connections.
DANGER! Read all instructions carefully before operating the grill. Failure to follow these instructions exactly could result in a fire causing serious injury or death. The entire installation must be leak tested before operating the grill.

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.

WARNING! The propane cylinder is equipped with an excess flow device. Unless all burners are turned off prior to turning the cylinder on, only small flames and low heat will be achievable.
WARNING! Do not use rear burner while operating main burner.

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 www.napoleongrills.com/recipes for “rotisserie”.

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.

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 cleaner 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. 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.

WARNING! Built in units are supplied with a drip pan which holds only a minimal amount of grease. To prevent grease fires, the pan must be cleaned after each use.
Drip Pan: Accumulated grease is a fire hazard. Clean the drip pan after each use to avoid grease buildup.
Grease and excess drippings pass through to the drip pan, located beneath the gas grill. 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.
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.

Combustion Air Adjustment: (This must be done by a qualified gas installer.) The air shutter is factory sand should not need adjusting under normal conditions. Under extreme field conditions, adjustments might be required. When the air shutter is adjusted correctly the flames will be dark blue, tipped with light blue and occasionally yellow.

• With too little air flow to the burner, the flames are lazy yellow and can produce soot.
• With too much air flow, the flames lift erratically and can cause difficulties when lighting.

Adjusting the air shutter:

1. Remove cooking grids and sear plates and leave lid open. You may have to open the door or remove the top drawer (if equipped) to access the air-shutter screw located at the mouth of the burner. The back cover must be removed for rear tube burner air shutter adjustment.
2. Loosen air-shutter lock screw and open or close air shutter as required. The normal opening settings are:
   Main Tube Burner| Propane 1/2″ (13mm)
   Natural 3/8″ (10mm)
   *Infra-Red burners have no air adjustment.| Rear Tube Burner| Propane Full Open
   Natural 1/8″ (3mm)
   ---|---|---|---
3. Light the burners and set to high. Visually inspect burner flames. When the shutters are set correctly,turn burners off, tighten locking screws, and replace removed parts. Ensure that the insect screens are installed.

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.

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.

WARNING! Regulator Hose (when applicable): 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 Gas 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.

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.
Close air shutter slightly – see previous problem.
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.| Normal occurrence on hot days.| This is not a defect. It 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 venturitube.
Propane regulator in “low flow” state.| Check gas level in propane cylinder.
Reposition supply hose as necessary.
Clean burner orifice.
Clean out venturi tube.
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.
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.

(Record information here for easy reference)
For replacement parts and warranty claims, contact the Napoleon dealer where the product was purchased.
Before contacting the dealer, check the Napoleon Grills Website for more extensive cleaning, maintenance, troubleshooting and parts replacement instructions at www.napoleongrills.com.

To process a claim, the following information is required:

1. Model and serial number of the unit.
2. Part number and description.
3. A concise description of the problem (‘broken’ is not sufficient).
4. Proof of purchase (photocopy of the invoice).

In some cases, Napoleon could request to have the parts returned to the factory for inspection before providing replacement parts.
Before contacting Napoleon dealer, please note that the following items are not covered by the warranty:

• Costs for transportation, brokerage or export duties.
• Labour costs for removal and reinstallation.
• Costs for service calls to diagnose problems.
• Discolouration of stainless steel parts.
• Part failure due to lack of cleaning and maintenance, or use of improper cleaners (oven cleaner or other harsh chemicals).

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 muriatic 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.

Getting Started

1. Remove all cart panels, hardware, and grill head from the 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 set the grill head into the enclosure.

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).

BI ACCESSORY DRAWER INSTRUCTIONS

1. Unpack the drawer frame assembly.
2. Remove the drawers from the enclosure by fully extending them and then lifting up to remove them from the slides.
3. Shim the opening to ensure that the enclosure fits snuggly into the opening. Ensure that the side shims are located at the same height as the enclosure mounting holes. The bottom of the opening may need to be shimmed as well to ensure that the front of the enclosure is plumb.
4. Once the enclosure is level and square, fasten into place. (Fasteners not included).
5. Re-install the drawers by tipping the back of the drawer down into the slide. Once the wheels are inserted into the slide, lower the front of the drawer until it is level, then push in. Note: if the enclosure is installed with shims that are too thick, the wheel will not engage into the slide. The shim thickness will need to be reduced.
6. Remove the protective coating from all remaining surfaces.

BI ACCESSORY DOOR INSTRUCTIONS

1. 1Unpack the door and frame.
   a. For the curved stainless steel doors, remove the door(s) from the frame by lifting the door while holding on to the pivot rod. This will allow the pivot rod to come out of the hole on the bottom of the frame. Once the pivot is removed from the bottom hole, the entire door can be dropped and removed from the frame.
   b. For the PF style stainless steel door, the door needs to be removed by loosening the center philips screw on the hinge furthest away from the door. This will allow the hinge to separate.
   c. For double door kits N370-0502-1/N370-0503-1, refer to the instuctions included with the door kit.

2. Center the frame in the opening. Mark the location of the pivot holes, top and bottom. Remember on the PT600 double doors, there will be a pivot rod on both ends. The PF style doors do not have pivot rods. Once all pivot holes are marked, remove the frame and using a 3/8” drill bit, drill out the clearance holes for the pivot rod. These clearance holes should be at least 1/2” deep. After the holes are complete, you may once again center the frame in the opening. Starting with the hinged side, shim between the frame and side wall of the opening. Ensure the shims are close to the hinge on the PF style doors. When the frame side wall is plumb, fasten it to the cabinet with screws (not provided).
   Attach the other side of the frame in the same fashion, ensuring the frame is square.

3. Other than on the curved stainless steel double door kit, fasteners are not required on the top and bottom of the frame. The curved stainless steel double door frame must be fastened in the center both at the top and bottom.

4. Once the frame has been secured and checked for squareness, the door can be re-installed.

5. Remove the protective coating from all remaining surfaces.

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.

Rotisserie Kit Assembly Instruction (accessory)
Assemble rotisserie kit components as shown.

Ensure stop bushing is tightened on the inside of hood casting.
