COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
When lit for the first time, the gas grill will emit a slight odour. This is a normal temporary condition caused by the "burn-in" of
internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not occur again. Simply run the main burners on high
for approximately ½ hour.
MAIN BURNER USE: When searing foods, preheating is recommended by operating all main burners in the high position
with the lid closed for approximately 10 minutes. Food cooked for a short period of time (fish, vegetables) may be grilled with
the lid open. Cooking with the lid closed will ensure higher, more even temperatures that will reduce cooking time and cook
meat more evenly. Food that has a cooking time longer than 30 minutes, such as roasts, may 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, may create flare-ups. Either trim
some fat or reduce temperatures to prevent this. Should a flare-up occur, move food away from flames, reduce heat. Leave the
lid open. See 'Your All Season Grill' cookbook by Napoleon for more detailed instructions.
REAR BURNER USE:
Remove the warming rack prior to use. Cooking grids should also be removed if they interfere with
the rotisserie. This gas grill is equipped with a 19,000BTU rear burner. The rear burner is designed to be used in conjunction
with the rotisserie kit (included with Prestige units) 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
that 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 dish underneath 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.
See 'Your all Season Grill' cookbook by Napoleon for more detailed instructions.
SIDE BURNER USE: The side burner can be used like any range top burner, for gravies, soups etc. The gas grill should be
located so that the side burner is protected from the wind, because the wind will adversely affect it's performance.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that the burners are turned off prior to cleaning. Avoid unprotected contact with hot surfaces. 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.
GRIDS AND WARMING RACK - The grids and warming rack are best cleaned during the pre-heat period with a soft brass wire
brush. Steel wool can be used for stubborn stains. Stainless grids will discolour permanently from normal usage, due to the high
temperature of the cooking surface.
CONTROL PANEL CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS: The text on the control panel is printed directly onto the stainless steel, and
with proper maintenance will remain dark and legible. Do not use any abrasive cleaners (Ajax, Vim, Old Dutch etc.) to clean any
stainless surfaces, especially the printed portion of the control panel. It will gradually remove the text if used. Use only the
Continental brand stainless steel cleaner available from your Napoleon Dealer.
CLEANING INSIDE THE GAS GRILL - Remove cooking grids. Use a soft brass wire brush to clean loose debris from the
insides of the lid and hood. Scrape sear plates with a putty knife or scraper, and use a wire brush to remove ash. Remove sear
plates and brush debris off of burners with a brass wire brush. Brush all debris from inside the gas grill into the removable drip
pan. Ensure that the sear plates are placed properly when they are reinstalled (Check assembly instructions for proper
orientation).
DRIP PAN - Slide the drip pan out for easy cleaning. It should be cleaned frequently (every 4-5 uses) to avoid grease buildup.
Grease and excess drippings pass through to the drip pan, located under the gas grill, and accumulate in the disposable grease
tray below the drip pan. Accumulated grease can cause a fire hazard. Do not line the drip pan with aluminum foil, as it can
prevent the grease from flowing properly. The pan should be scraped out with a putty knife or scraper, and all the debris should
be scraped into the disposable grease tray. This tray should be replaced every two to four weeks, depending on gas grill usage.
