Drip Pan: Accumulated grease is a re 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 owing properly. The pan should be scraped out with a
puy knife or scraper.
CAUTION! Ensure drip pan is empty and clean before transporng grill in vercal posion.
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 nish. Exterior grill surfaces should be
cleaned with warm soapy water while the metal is sll warm to the touch. To clean stainless surfaces, use
a stainless steel or a non-abrasive cleaner. Always wipe in the direcon of the grain. Over me, stainless
steel parts discolor when heated, usually to a golden or brown hue. This discoloraon is normal and does
not aect the performance of the grill. Porcelain enamel components must be handled with addional
care. The baked-on enamel nish is glass-like, and will chip if struck. Touch-up enamel is available from
your Napoleon Grill dealer.
WARNING! Always wear protecve gloves and safety glasses when cleaning your grill.
WARNING! Turn o the gas at the source and disconnect the unit before servicing. To avoid the
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.
Maintenance Instrucons
We recommend this gas grill be thoroughly inspected and serviced annually by a qualied service person.
At all mes keep the gas grill area free from combusble materials, gasoline and other ammable vapors
and liquids. Do not obstruct the ow of venlaon and combuson air.
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! Beware of Spiders.
Spiders and insects are aracted to the smell of propane and natural gas. The burner is equipped with an
insect screen on the air shuer, which reduces the likelihood of insects building nests inside the burner
but does not enrely eliminate the problem. A nest or web can cause the burner to burn with a so yellow
or orange ame or cause a re (ashback) at the air shuer underneath the control panel. To clean the
inside of the burner, it must be removed from the gas grill: Remove the screw (s) that aach the cross
light bracket and the burner to the base. Slide the burner back and upwards to remove. Cleaning: Use
a exible 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 orices for blockages. Burner ports can close over
me 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! Take care not to enlarge the holes.
Ensure the insect screen is clean, ght, and free of any lint or other debris.
Reinstallaon: Reverse the procedure to reinstall the burner. Check that the valve enters the burner when
installing. Replace cross light bracket and ghten screws to complete reinstallaon.
