COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

When lit for the first time, the gas grill will emita 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.

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 thathas acooking timelonger than 30 minutes, suchas roasts,may becooked indirectly(with the burner lit opposite to thefood
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.

REAR BURNER USE:

rotisserie. This gas grill is equipped with a 14,000 BTU rear burner. The rear burner is designed to be used in conjunction with the
rotisserie kit (included with Prestige units) available from your dealer. 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 naturallyhang withthe heavy side down. Tightenthe counterbalance arm and weight,so thatthe 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 operaterear burner on high untilbrown, thenreduce the heatto thoroughlycook foods. Keep thelid 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.

SIDE BURNER USE: The side burner can be usedlike any rangetop burner,for gravies, soupsetc. 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.

Remove the warming rack prior to use.

Cooking grids should also be removed if they interfere with the

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 (optional) 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 drip pan. 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. Ensure
that the sear plates are placed properly when they are reinstalled (Check assembly instructions for proper orientation).

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE GAS GRILL - Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean any painted, or 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 normal and
will not affect the performance of the grill.

SOLIDO SIDE SHELVES - Clean side shelves with warm soapy water, and a plastic bristle brush.

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 AIRADJUSTMENT - (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 3/16" Back Burner Propane 3/8"

Natural 1/8" Natural 1/8"

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.

HOSE - Check for abrasion, melting, cuts and cracks. If any of these conditions exist, do not use gas grill. Have part replaced by
your gas grill dealer, or qualified gas installer.

BURNER PORT

APPROXIMA TELY

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. 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 2 screws located above the burner to the left and right of
the centre of 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.

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.
