If you experience excessive flare-ups or uneven heat with your Napoleon Grill, it's often due to improper preheating or excessive grease and ash buildup in the drip pan. To resolve this, preheat your grill with both main burners on high for 5 to 10 minutes. Also, clean the drip pan regularly, and avoid lining it with aluminum foil.
Why is the flame low on my Napoleon TravelQ 285 when the valve is on high?
If your Napoleon Grill has low heat or a low flame even when the valve is turned to high, it could be due to a blockage of gas, improper preheating, or the cylinder freezing up. Check for spider webs in the burner or orifice. Preheat the grill with the main burners on high for 5 to 10 minutes. If cooking for extended periods, using a nearly empty 1 lb cylinder, or in low outdoor temperatures, switch to a fresh 1 lb cylinder or connect to a 20 lb tank.
What to do if burner output on Napoleon Grill high setting is too low?
If the burner output on your Napoleon Grill is too low on the “high” setting, accompanied by a rumbling noise and fluttering blue flame, it could be due to a lack of gas, a pinched supply hose, a dirty or clogged orifice, or obstructions in the venturi tube. Check the gas level in the propane cylinder. Reposition the supply hose as needed. Clean the burner orifice and clear out the venturi tube.
Why do my Napoleon TravelQ 285 Grill burners have a yellow flame and smell of gas?
If the burners on your Napoleon Grill burn with a yellow flame and there's a smell of gas, it's possibly due to a spider web or other debris, or an improperly adjusted air shutter. Thoroughly clean the burner after removing it. A qualified gas installer should slightly open the air shutter according to combustion air adjustment instructions.
What to do if Napoleon TravelQ 285 burner won't light with igniter?
If the burner on your Napoleon Grill won't light with the igniter but will light with a match, the jet-fire outlet may be dirty or clogged. Clean the jet-fire outlet with a soft bristle brush.
Why are flames lifting away from burner of my Napoleon TravelQ 285?
If the flames lift away from the burner on your Napoleon Grill, accompanied by a smell of gas, and you're experiencing lighting difficulties, it's likely due to an improperly adjusted air shutter. A qualified gas installer should slightly close the air shutter according to combustion air adjustment instructions.
Why is "paint" peeling inside the lid of my Napoleon TravelQ 285 Grill?
If it appears that "paint" is peeling inside the lid or hood of your Napoleon Grill, this is not a defect. The lid and hood are stainless steel and won't peel. The peeling is caused by hardened grease, which dries into paint-like shards that flake off. Regular cleaning will prevent this.
Why is my Napoleon TravelQ 285 Grill regulator humming?
A humming regulator on your Napoleon Grill is a normal occurrence on hot days. This is not a defect but is caused by internal vibrations in the regulator. It doesn't affect the grill's performance or safety, and humming regulators will not be replaced.
