Cleaning Inside The Gas Grill : Remove the cooking grids. Use a brass wire brush to clean loose debris
from casting sides and underneath the lid. Brush all debris from inside the gas grill into the removable
drip pan.
Drip Pan: Accumulated grease is a fire hazard. Clean the drip pan frequently to avoid grease buildup.
Grease and excess drippings pass through to the drip pan, located beneath the gas grill and accumulate.
To clean, 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.
Cleaning The Outer Grill Surface: Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool on any painted, porcelain or
stainless 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.
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.
WARNING!
WARNING!
!
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.
Burner: The burner is made from heavy wall 304 stainless steel, but extreme heat and a corrosive
environment can cause surface corrosion to occur. This can be removed with a brass wire brush.
CAUTION!
Spiders and insects are attracted to the smell of propane and natural gas. The burner is equipped with an
insect screen on the air shutter, which reduces the likelihood of insects building nests inside the burner
but does not entirely eliminate the problem. A nest or web can cause the burner to burn with a soft yellow
or orange flame or cause a fire (flashback) at the air shutter underneath the control panel. To clean the
inside of the burner, it must be removed from the gas grill: Remove the screw (s) that attach the cross
light bracket and the burner to the base. Slide the burner back and upwards to remove.
Cleaning: Use a flexible venturi tube brush to clean the inside of the burner. Shake any loose debris from
the burner through the gas inlet. Check the burner ports and valve orifices for blockages. Burner ports can
close over time due to cooking debris and corrosion; use an opened paperclip to clean them. The ports are
easier to clean if the burner is removed from the grill, but it can also be done with the burner installed.
CAUTION!
Ensure the insect screen is clean, tight, and free of any lint or other debris.
Reinstallation: Reverse the procedure to reinstall the burner. Check that the valve enters the burner when
installing. Replace cross light bracket and tighten screws to complete reinstallation.
