PROPANECYLINDER INSTALLATION:Setcylinderinto hole in bottom shelf.

IMPORTANT: The regulator must be attached so that no part of the hose touches the underside of the grill or drippan. A
fire will result if these directions are ignored.

NATURAL GAS HOOK-UP: This natural gas grill is supplied with a 10ft supply hose (complete with a quick disconnect)

designed for natural gas and certified for outdoor use. The gas grill is designed to operate at an inlet pressure of 7 inches
water column. Longer gas lines leading to the gas grill can cause a loss of pressure, resulting in lower operating
temperature. Piping and valves upstream of the quick disconnect are not supplied.

The quick disconnect must not be installed in an upward direction and a readily accessible manual shut-off valve must be
installed upstream of, and as close to, the quick disconnect as is feasible. The flared end of the hose must be connected to

LEAK TESTING INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT USEA FLAME TO LEAK TEST.

LEAK TESTING: Althoughallgasconnections on your gas grill arethoroughlyleaktested at the factory,a leak test must be
done before initial use, annually and whenever any gas components are replaced or serviced. If the smell of gas is detected at
anytime you should immediately check the entire system for leaks. No smoking while performing this test, and remove all

sources of ignition.

1. Turn all burner controls to off. Turn supply valve on.

2. Brush a half and half solution of liquid soap and water onto all joints and connections of the regulator, hose, manifolds and

valves.

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, shut off the gas supply, 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.

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
the 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 than30 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 pre­heating 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:

rotisserie. This gas grill is equipped with a 10,000 BTU rear burner. The rear burner is designed to be used in conjunction with
the 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.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Ensure that the burners are turned off prior to cleaning. Avoid unprotected contact with hotsurfaces. Clean grillinan
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 cleaningoven 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 INSIDETHEGASGRILL - Ensure that your gasgrillisproperly cooled before cleaning. Remove cooking grids.
Use a soft brass wire brush to clean loose debris from the 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. Any
clogged burner ports can be poked cleaned with a straightened paper clip. Inspect for spider webs or insects blocking the
flow of gas through the burner. 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 to 5 uses) to avoid grease
buildup. Accumulated grease can cause a fire hazard, do not allow it to collect and overflow out of the grease tray. 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.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE GAS GRILL - Do not use abrasive cleaners toclean any stainless steel parts. 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 a normal
property of the stainless steel and will not affect the performance of the grill.

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.

BURNER

LIGHT BLUE

YELLOW TIPPING

DARK BLUE

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 Full Open

Natural Full Open

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.

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 PORT

APPROXIMATELY

1/2"

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. Insect
nests or webs 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 nut located underneath the burner support at the center of
the curve in the burner. Lift back of 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.
