Cooking Instructions - Napoleon PRO500-3 Mode D'emploi

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 includes a wind deflector with your unit. It will help prevent the possibility of improper heat
build-up.
(Refer to your Quick Assembly Guide for installation instructions).
!
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. Learn more grilling techniques and delicious recipes
by acquiring Napoleon's cookbooks.
Infrared Main Burner Use (If Equipped): Follow the Infrared Burner Ignition procedures and operate on
high for 5 minutes with the lid closed or until the ceramic burners glow red. Place food on the grill(s) and
cook according to times listed in the Infrared Grilling Chart. Depending upon your taste, continue cooking
over infrared burners on high, medium, or low, turning food frequently, or place food over unlit burners,
close lid, and allow the oven temperature to slowly finish cooking your food.
INFRARED MAIN BURNER
CAUTION!
!
burners will burn quickly. Keep the lid open when cooking with the infrared burners set to high.
The intense heat ensures adequate searing temperatures even with the lid open. This also allows
observation of the food to prevent burning.
