The regulator supplies a pressure of 11 inches water column to the gas grill and has a QCC1 type fitting. Cylinders to be used
with this unit must be supplied with a Sherwood #3349 QCC1 cylinder valve. A QCC1 cylinder has a positive seating connection,
which will not allow gas flow until a positive seal has been achieved. It is also equipped with an excess flow device. In order to
attain full flow to the barbecue, the valves must be in the off position when the cylinder valve is turned on.
PROPANE CYLINDER SPECIFICATIONS: A dented or rusty 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). This appliance has been designed for use with a 20lb. (9.1 kg) size propane cylinder only (not supplied).
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 an OPD (overfill
protection device).
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65: The burning of gas fuel creates byproducts, some of which are on the list as substances
known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. When cooking with gas, always ensure adequate
ventilation to the unit, to minimize exposure to such substances.
IMPORTANT DO'S AND DON'TS
DO'S

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 for
approximately ½ hour with the lid closed.
MAIN BURNER USE: When searing foods, preheating is recommended by operating all main burners in the high position with
the lid closed for approximately 10 minutes. 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 (with the burner lit opposite
to the food placement). 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 'YourAll
Season Grill' cookbook by Napoleon for more detailed instructions.
REAR BURNER USE (optional ):
Remove the warming rackprior touse.
Cookinggrids should also beremoved iftheyinterfere
with the rotisserie. This gas grill is equipped with a 26,000 BTU rear burner. The rear burner is designed to be used in
conjunction with the included rotisserie kit. See the rotisserie kit assembly instructions. To use the counterbalance, remove the
rotisserie motor from the gas grill. Place the spit with meat being cooked across the hangers inside the grill. The meat will
naturally hang with the heavy side down. Tighten the counterbalance arm and weight, so that the arm is facing up. Slide the
counterweight in or out to balance the load, and tighten in place. Re-install the motor and begin cooking. Place a dish
underneath to collect drippings for basting and naturally delicious gravy. Basting liquid may be added as required. To seal in
juices, first operate rear burner on high until brown, then reduce the heat to thoroughly cook foods. Keep the lid closed for best
results. Your roasts and fowl will brown perfectly on the outside and stay moist and tender on the inside. For example, a 3 pound
chicken on the rotisserie will be done in approximately 1½ hours on medium to high. See 'Your all Season Grill' cookbook by
Napoleon for more detailed instructions.
SIDE BURNER USE (optional): The side burner can be used like any range top burner, for gravies, soups etc. The gas grill
should be located so that the side burner is protected from the wind, because the wind will adversely affect it's performance.
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 cooking grids. Use a soft brass wire brush to clean loose debris from casting
sides and insides of the lid. Scrape sear plates with a putty knife or scraper, and use a wire brush to remove ash. Remove sear
plates and brush debris off of burners with a brass wire brush. Brush all debris from inside the gas grill into the removable drip
pan. Ensure that the sear plates are placed properly when they are reinstalled (Check assembly instructions for proper
orientation).
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 pass through to the drip pan, located under the gas grill, and accumulate in the disposable grease
tray below the drip pan. Accumulated grease can cause a fire hazard. Do not line the drip pan with aluminum foil or sand, as it
can prevent the grease from flowing properly. The pan should be scraped out with a putty knife or scraper, and all the debris
should be scraped into the disposable grease tray. This tray should be replaced every two to four weeks, depending on gas grill
usage. For supplies, see your Napoleon Gas Grill dealer.
8
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE GAS GRILL - Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean any painted, porcelain or stainless
steel parts. Porcelain enamel components must be handled with additional care. The baked on enamel finish is glass like, and
will chip if struck. Touch-up enamel is available from your Napoleon Gas Grill dealer. Exterior grill surfaces should be cleaned
while warm to the touch, with warm soapy water. 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. 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.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
DARK BLUE
LIGHT BLUE
BURNER
BURNER PORT
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.
YELLOW TIPPING
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. To adjust the air shutter, remove cooking grids and sear plates and leave lid open. The back cover must be removed for
back burner air shutter adjustment.
2. Loosen air-shutter lock screw and open or close air shutter as required. The normal settings are:
Main Burner Propane 1/4" Back Burner Propane Full Open
Natural 1/8" Natural 3/8"
3. Light burners and set to high. Visually inspect burner flames. When shutters are set, turn burners off, tighten locking screw,
and replace removed parts. Ensure that the insect screens are installed.
HOSE - Check for abrasion, melting, cuts and cracks. If any of these conditions exist, do not use gas grill. Have part replaced
by your Napoleon Gas Grill dealer, or qualified gas installer.

BURNER - The burner is made from heavy wall 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 on 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
control panel. To clean the inside of the burner, it must be removed from the gas
grill. Remove the screw located in the center of each burner. Lift the back of the
burner 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 the insect screen is clean, tight, and free of any lint or other
debris. Check also that the valve orifices are clean. Do not enlarge the orifices.
Re-install the burner. Check that the valve enters the burner when installing.
Replace burner cover and mounting screws to complete installation.
ALUMINUM CASTINGS - Clean castings periodically with warm soapy water.
Aluminum will not rust, but due to high temperatures and weathering, oxidation can occur on aluminum surfaces. This will
appear as white spots on the castings. To refinish the castings, clean them and sand lightly with fine sandpaper. Wipe surface
to remove any residue, and paint with high temperature barbecue paint. Protect surrounding areas from over-spray. Follow
curing directions found on the can.
