GENERAL INFORMATION

This gas barbecue is certified under Canadian and American national standards, CSA 1.8 - 2002 and ANSI Z83.11 - 2002 respectively for outdoor gas grills, with references to ANSI Z21.57 - 2001, CSA 1.16 M79 (r1996), NFPA 302, CFR title 33, ANSI Z21.89 - 2002, ANSI Z21.72b - 2002, and CSA 11.2b - 2002 and should be installed to conform with local codes. In absence of local codes, install to the current National Fuel Gas Code CAN/CGA-B149.1 or ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, natural gas and propane installation code.

Use only the pressure regulator provided with this barbecue. Replacement pressure regulators must be supplied by or specified by the manufacturer. The regulator supplies a pressure of 22 inches water column to the gas grill and has a female CGA#600 type fitting. To install the regulator, screw it into the threaded hole on the right side of the grill. Tube burners may have to be pushed upwards slightly from underneath to ensure that the orifice is aligned with the opening in the burner. 1 lb disposable cylinders to be used with this unit must be equipped with a male CGA #600 type connection. This cylinder has a positive seating connection, which will not allow gas flow until a positive seal has been achieved. To install the cylinder simply screw it into the regulator - tighten hand tight.

OPTIONAL SUPPLY HOSE INSTRUCTIONS: An optional hose is available from your Napoleon Dealer that allows the grill to be connected to
a 20 lb (9.1 kg) cylinder. A dented or rusted cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your propane supplier. Never use a
cylinder with a damaged valve. Use only a propane supply cylinder constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP-gas
cylinders of the Canadian Transport Commission (CTC) or the US Department of Transportation (DOT). The propane cylinder must be
provided with a shut-off valve terminating in a propane cylinder valve type QCC1, and a safety relief device having direct communication with
the vapour space of the cylinder. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapour withdrawal and the cylinder shall include a collar to
protect the cylinder valve. The cylinder shall incorporate a listed OPD (overfill protection device). To use the hose, connect it (note the
the connection to the 20 lb cylinder is a left hand thread) between the tank valve and the regulator on the grill. These connections
should be tightened hand tight, and leak tested when performing a leak test. Ensure that the cylinder valve is turned off whenever	3
the grill is not in use.

IMPORTANT DO'S AND DON'TS

DO'S

Read the entire instruction manual before operating the gas grill.

Maintain proper clearance to combustibles (6" to rear of unit, 4" to sides). Additional clearance is recommended near vinyl siding or large panes of glass.

Leak test the unit before initial use, annually and and whenever any gas components are replaced.

Follow lighting instructions carefully when operating grill.

Ensure sear plate is positioned properly. The holes must be towards the right side of the gas grill.

Clean grease tray and sear plates regularly to avoid build-up which may lead to grease fires.

Inspect infra-red burner venturi tubes for spider webs and other obstructions periodically. Clean the tubes completely if you find any such obstructions.

If installed on a boat or R.V. supplied with a regulated propane source, the fuel line must be tee’d off prior to the pressure regulator of the boat or R.V.

DON'TS

Do not route hose (optional) underneath drip pan - proper hose clearance to bottom of unit must be maintained.

Do not locate unit under unprotected combustible construction.

Do not leave grill unattended when operating.

Do not light burners with lid closed.

Do not move grill when hot or operating.

Do not allow cold water (rain, sprinkler, hose, etc.) to come in contact with ceramic burners. A large temperature differential can cause cracking in the ceramic tile.

Do not use water, beer, or any other liquids to control flare-ups.

Do not pinch electrode lead between bottom surface of grill and folding leg.

LEAK TESTING INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT USE A FLAME TO LEAK TEST.

LEAK TESTING: This must be done before initial use, annually and whenever any gas components are replaced or serviced. No smoking while performing this test, and remove all sources of ignition. See Leak Testing Diagram for areas to check.

1.Connect the 1 lb cylinder to the grill regulator, or if using the optional supply hose, connect it between the cylinder valve and the grill regulator. Ensure the grill regulator is in the “LOCK OFF” position, turn the cylinder valve on.

2.Brush a half and half solution of liquid soap and water onto the joint between the regulator and the 1 lb cylinder. When using the optional supply hose, brush the solution onto the connections at each end of the hose.

3.Bubbles will indicate a gas leak. Either tighten the loose joint or replace the part with one recommended by the dealer.

4.If the leak cannot be stopped, disconnect the 1 lb cylinder, or shut off the cylinder valve on the 20 lb cylinder, disconnect it and have the barbecue inspected by your gas supplier or dealer. Do not use the appliance until the leak has been corrected.

5.Turn off gas supply.

INFRA-RED HEAT

Most people don’t realize that the heat source that we are most familiar with, namely the sun warms the earth using mainly infra-red energy. Infra-red energy is a form of electro-magnetic energy that has a wavelength just greater than the red end of the visible light spectrum, but less than that of radio waves. This energy was discovered in 1800 by Sir William Herschel who, dispersed sunlight into its component colours using a prism. He showed that most of the heat in the beam fell into the spectral region just beyond the red end of the spectrum, where no visible light existed. This is infra-red energy. Most materials readily absorb infra-red radiation in a wide range of wavelengths, causing an increase in temperatures of the materials. This is the same phenomenon that causes us to feel warmth when we are exposed to sunlight. The infra-red rays from the sun travel through the vacuum of space, through the atmosphere and penetrate our skin. This causes increased molecular activity in the skin, which creates internal friction and generates heat, allowing us to feel warmth.

Foods cooked over infra-red heat sources are heated by the same principle. Charcoal is the traditional way of infra-red cooking that we are all familiar with. The glowing briquettes emit infra-red energy to the food being cooked, with very little drying effect. Any juices or oils that escape from the food drip down onto the charcoal and vaporize into smoke giving the food its delicious grilled taste. The Napoleon infra-red burner cooks in the same way. In each burner, 10000 ports each with its own tiny flame cause the surface of the ceramic to glow red. This glow emits the same type of infra-red heat to the food, without the hassle or mess of charcoal. It also provides a more consistent heated area that is far easier to regulate than a charcoal fire. For instantaneous searing the burners can be set to high, yet they can also be turned down for slower cooking. We all know how difficult that is on a charcoal fire. Traditional gas burners heat the food in a different way. The air surrounding the burner is heated by the combustion process and then rises up to the food being cooked. This generates lower grill temperatures that are ideal for more delicate cuisine such as seafood or vegetables. The bottom line is that Napoleon’s infra-red burners produce searing heat for juicier, tastier steaks, hamburgers and other meats. For cooking times and tips refer to the Infra-red Grilling Chart.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

When lit for the first time, the gas grill will emit a slight odour. This is a normal temporary condition caused by the "burn-in" of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and will not occur again. Simply run the main burners on high with the lid open for approximately ½ hour. When cooking very lean meats, such as chicken breasts, or lean pork, the grids can be oiled before pre-heating to reduce sticking. Cooking meat with a high degree of fat content, may create flare-ups. Either trim some fat or reduce temperatures to prevent this. Should a flare-up occur, move food away from flames, reduce heat. Leave the lid open. See 'Your All Season Grill' cookbook by Napoleon for more detailed instructions.

INFRA-RED MAIN BURNER USE:

1.Follow the infra-red burner ignition procedures and operate on high for 5 minutes or until the ceramic burners glow red.

2.Place food on grills and cook according to times listed in the Infra-Red Grilling Chart.

3.Depending upon your taste, continue cooking over infra-red burners on high, medium or low, turning food frequently, or place food away from infra-red burners, close lid, and allow oven temperature to slowly finish cooking your food.

Caution: Due to the intense heat the infra-red burners provide, food left unattended over burners will burn quickly. Keep the lid open when cooking with the infra-red burners on high. The intense heat ensures adequate searing temperatures even with the lid open. This also allows observation of the food, so as to prevent burning.

CONVENTIONAL MAIN BURNER USE: The lower temperatures that these burners provide make them ideal for cooking seafood, vegetables and other delicate cuisine. These burners can be used for searing, but the infra-red burners are better suited for this type of cooking. Food cooked for a short period of time (fish, vegetables) may be grilled with the lid open. Cooking with the lid closed will ensure higher, more even temperatures that will reduce cooking time and cook meat more evenly. Food that has a cooking time longer than 30 minutes, such as roasts, may be cooked indirectly. Follow the tube burner lighting instructions and operate on high for 5 to 10 minutes with the lid closed to preheat the grill.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Ensure that the burners are turned off prior to cleaning. Avoid unprotected contact with hot surfaces. Clean grill in an area where cleaning solutions will not harm decks, lawns or patios. Do not use oven cleaner to clean any part of this gas grill. Do not use a self cleaning oven to clean cooking grids or any other parts of the gas grill. Barbecue sauce and salt can be corrosive and will cause rapid deterioration of the gas grill components unless cleaned regularly.

GRIDS AND WARMING RACK - The grids and warming rack are best cleaned during the pre-heat period with a soft brass wire brush. Steel wool can be used for stubborn stains. Stainless grids will discolour permanently from normal usage, due to the high temperature of the cooking surface.

CLEANING INSIDE THE GAS GRILL - Remove the cooking grid. Use a soft brass wire brush to clean loose debris from the insides of the lid. Scrape sear plate with a putty knife or scraper, and use a wire brush to remove ash. Remove the sear plate and brush debris off of the burner with a brass wire brush. Brush all debris from inside the gas grill into the removable drip pan. Ensure that the sear plate is placed properly when reinstalled (holes towards the right end of the grill), or whenever the grill is packed away for transport.

DRIP PAN - Slide the drip pan out for easy cleaning. It should be cleaned frequently (every 4-5 uses) to avoid grease buildup. Grease and excess drippings accumulate in the drip pan located under the grill. Accumulated grease can cause a fire hazard. Do not line the drip pan with aluminum foil, as it can prevent the proper amount of air needed for burner to operate. The pan should be scraped out with a putty knife or scraper.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE GAS GRILL - Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean stainless steel parts. To clean stainless surfaces, use a stainless steel cleaner or a non-abrasive cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain. Do not use steel wool, as it will scratch the finish and leave small particles of ferrous metal which can promote rusting. Stainless steel parts will discolour when heated, usually to a golden or brown colour. This discolouration is normal and will not affect the performance of the grill.

INFRA-RED BURNERS - Because of the high intensity of the infra-red burner, most drippings and food particles that fall onto the burner surface are immediately incinerated. However, some debris and residue may remain. To remove this residue after cooking, operate the grill on high for 5-10 minutes with the lid open.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Turn off the gas at the source and disconnect unit before servicing. Maintenance should only be done when the grill is cool, to avoid the possibility of burns. A leak test must be performed annually, and whenever any component of the gas train is replaced.

COMBUSTION AIR ADJUSTMENT - (This must be done by a qualified gas installer.) The air shutter is factory set and should not have to be adjusted under normal conditions. However, some extreme field conditions may exist that require adjustment. When the air shutter is adjusted correctly, the flames will be dark blue with light blue tips, and occasional yellow tips.

APPROXIMATELY1/2"

If the burner is getting too little air, the flames will be lazy yellow, and possibly produce soot. If the burner is getting too much air, the flames will be lifting erratically from the burner and may cause difficulties when lighting.

1.Loosen air-shutter lock screw, located under the regulator/igniter mount, and open or close air shutter as required. The normal setting for the tube burner is 1/8”.

2.Light burner and set to high. Visually inspect burner flames. When shutters are set, turn regulator off, tighten locking screw. Be sure the air shutter does not move when tightening the screw.

3. Infra-red burners have no air adjustment.

7

TUBE BURNERS - The burner is made from 304 stainless steel, but due to the extreme heat and corrosive environment, surface corrosion will occur. Use a brass wire brush to remove surface corrosion. Clean any blocked ports using an opened paper clip. Do not enlarge the burner ports. Spiders and insects are attracted to the smell of propane and natural gas. The burner is equipped with an insect screen in the air shutter, which will reduce the likelihood of insects building nests inside the burner, but does not entirely eliminate the problem. The nest or web will cause the burner to burn with a soft yellow or orange flame or cause a fire (flashback) at the air shutter underneath the regulator mount. To clean the inside of the burner, it must be removed from the gas grill. Remove the cooking grid and sear plate. Remove the screw that attaches the burner to the side wall. Remove the regulator. Slide the burner to the front and upwards to remove. Use a flexible venturi tube cleaning brush to clean out the inside of the burner. Shake any loose debris out of the burner, through the gas inlet. Ensure that none of the burner ports are blocked. Use an opened paperclip to clean any blocked ports. Ensure that the insect screen is clean, and free of any lint or other debris. Check also that the valve orifice is clean. Do not enlarge the orifice. Re-install the burner in the reverse procedure. Check that the regulator orifice enters the burner when installing. Replace sear plate and tighten screw to complete installation.

PROTECTION OF INFRA-RED BURNERS - The infra-red burners of your grill are designed to provide a long service life. However, there are steps you must take to prevent cracking of their ceramic surfaces, which will cause the burners to malfunction. Following are the common causes of cracks and the steps you must take to avoid them. Damage caused by failure to follow these steps is not covered by your grill warranty.

1.Impact with Hard Objects - Never allow hard objects to strike the ceramic. Take care when inserting or removing cooking grates and accessories into or from the grill. If these objects were to fall on the ceramic, it is likely to crack.

2.Water or Other Liquids - Cold liquid contacting a hot surface in substantial amounts can cause the surface to break. Do not throw water into the grill to douse a flame. Also if the ceramic or interior of a burner becomes wet while not in use, later operation of the burner can create steam, which may produce enough pressure to crack the ceramic. In addition, repeated soaking of the ceramic will cause it to swell and expand. This expansion will cause undue pressure on the ceramic and therefore it may crack and crumble.

i)Never throw water into the grill to control flare-ups

ii)Do not attempt to operate the infra-red burners in open air while raining.

iii)If you find standing water in your grill (because of exposure to rainfall, sprinklers etc.), inspect ceramic for evidence of possible watersoaking. If ceramic appears to be wet, remove the burner from the grill. Turn upside down to drain the excess water. Bring indoors and allow to dry thoroughly.

3.Impaired Ventilation of Hot Air From the Grill - In order for the burners to function properly, hot air must have a way to escape the grill. If the hot air is not allowed to escape, the burners may become deprived of oxygen, causing them to back flash. If this occurs repeatedly, the ceramic may crack. Do not cover more than 75% of the cooking surface with solid metal (ie. griddle or large pan).
