Possible Causes
Damaged electrode wire.
Loose electrode wire.
Electrode is cracked or broken.
Dead battery / or installed incorrectly.
Grease build up on inside surfaces.
Lack of gas.
Supply hose is pinched.
Dirty or clogged orifice.
Spider webs in venturi tube, or other
foreign matter.
Cracked ceramic tile.
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.
Solution
Replace electrode wire.
Check that electrode wire is firmly pushed onto the terminal on the
back of the igniter.
Replace electrode.
Replace with heavy duty 'AAA' battery. Install with the positive
terminal down.
This is not a defect. The finish on the lid and hood is stainless, and
will not peel. The peeling is caused by hardened grease, which
dries into paint-like shards, that will flake off. Regular cleaning will
prevent this. See cleaning instructions.
Check gas level in propane cylinder.
Reposition supply hose as necessary.
Clean burner orifice.
Clean out venturi tube.
Order replacement burner from your Authorized Napoleon dealer.
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 for
ordering a replacement burner assembly.
