Insect screen and burner ports
Spiders and insects are attracted to the smell of propane and natural
gas. 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 gas 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 paperclip, 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 flow of 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
reinstallation.
WARNING
! It is very important the valve/orifice enters the burner tube when reinstalling the burner after cleaning
and before lighting your gas grill, or a fire or explosion could occur.
WARNING
! Avoid unprotected contact with hot surfaces.
WARNING
! Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool on any painted, porcelain, or stainless steel parts of your
gas grill because it will scratch the finish.

SAFETY
FIRST!

protective gloves and
