Why does my Napoleon LD485RSIB Grill have excessive flare-ups and uneven heat?

Excessive flare-ups and uneven heat in your Napoleon Grill can occur due to several reasons. Ensure sear plates are installed correctly with the holes facing the front and the slots at the bottom, following the assembly instructions. Improper preheating can also be a cause; preheat the grill with both main burners on high for 10 to 15 minutes. Lastly, excessive grease and ash buildup on the sear plates and in the drip pan can contribute to this issue. Clean the sear plates and drip pan regularly, and avoid lining the pan with aluminum foil. Refer to the cleaning instructions for proper maintenance.
