Cleaning The Outer Grill Surface:
Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool on any painted, porcelain or
stain
less 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.
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.
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.

Combustion Air Adjustment
: (This must be done by a qualified gas installer.) The air shutter is factory set
and 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.
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.
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.
