    Why is there low heat/low flame on my Napoleon PRO500RSIBPSS-3 when the valve is on high?
    • M
      marshallcatherineAug 15, 2025
      To address low heat or flame issues on your Napoleon Grill, ensure you follow the lighting procedure carefully: all gas grill valves must be off when you turn on the tank valve. Open the tank valve slowly to allow pressure to equalize. Refer to the lighting instructions for detailed steps. If you are using natural gas, the pipe must be sized according to the installation code. For both propane and natural gas grills, preheat the grill with both main burners on high for 10 to 15 minutes.

    What to do if my Napoleon PRO500RSIBPSS-3 has excessive flare-ups or uneven heat?
    • D

      Excessive flare-ups and uneven heat on your Napoleon Grill can be caused by several factors. First, make sure the sear plates are installed correctly, with the holes facing the front and the slots on the bottom. Refer to the assembly instructions for guidance. Second, preheat the grill with both main burners on high for 10 to 15 minutes. Finally, regularly clean the sear plates and drip pan to prevent grease and ash buildup. Do not line the drip pan with aluminum foil; instead, refer to the cleaning instructions for proper maintenance.

    What to do if the infrared burner on my Napoleon PRO500RSIBPSS-3 Grill flashes back?
    • C
      Claudia HullAug 21, 2025
      If your Napoleon Grill's infrared burner flashes back (makes a loud 'whoosh' sound, followed by a blow-torch sound and grows dim), immediately turn the burner off and let it cool for at least two minutes. Then, relight the burner and let it burn on high for at least five minutes, or until the ceramic tiles glow red evenly. Make sure that objects or accessories cover no more than 75% of the grill surface. If the issue persists, turn the burner off, let it cool, and inspect the ceramic tiles closely for cracks. If you find any cracks, contact your authorized Napoleon dealer to order a replacement burner assembly. You can also contact them for instructions on ordering a replacement burner assembly.

    Why do the burners on my Napoleon PRO500RSIBPSS-3 Grill have a yellow flame and smell like gas?
    • J
      Jill Dyer MDAug 28, 2025
      If your Napoleon Grill's burners are producing a yellow flame accompanied by the smell of gas, it could be due to a spider web, other debris, or an improperly adjusted air shutter. To resolve this, thoroughly clean the burner by removing it, referring to the general maintenance instructions. Then, slightly open the air shutter according to the combustion air adjustment instructions. Note that this adjustment must be performed by a qualified gas installer.

      Kyle KnightSep 4, 2025
      If the flames on your Napoleon Grill lift away from the burner, accompanied by the smell of gas, and you're experiencing difficulties in lighting, it's likely due to an improperly adjusted air shutter. To fix this, slightly close the air shutter according to the combustion air adjustment instructions. It is important to have this adjustment done by a qualified gas installer.

    Why don't the illumination and side/rear burner ignition work on my Napoleon PRO500RSIBPSS-3 Grill?
    • J
      Jared JonesSep 7, 2025
      If the illumination and side/rear burner ignition on your Napoleon grill do not work, it could be due to an electric power outage, the grill not receiving electric power. Check for a power outage in your area. Ensure the grill is properly connected between the wall and the power bar. Verify that the red indicator is ON in the control box. Also, check if the fuse on the wire in the cabinet is broken.
