ANSI Z223.1 in the United States. The gas supply pipe must be suciently sized to supply the BTU/h specied
on the rang plate, based on the length of the piping run. The quick disconnect must not be installed in an
upward direcon and a readily accessible manual shut-o valve must be installed upstream of, and as close to,
the quick disconnect as is feasible. The ared end of the hose must be connected to the ng on the end of
the ex tube as illustrated in the Natural Gas Hose Aachment diagram. Tighten using two wrenches. (Do not
use thread sealer/pipe dope.) These connecons must be made by a licensed gas installer. Leak test all joints
prior to using the gas grill.
• The installaon must be performed by a licensed gas er, and all connecons must be leak tested before
operang the grill.
• Do not route hose underneath drip pan.
• Do not route hose between space in boom shelf and back panel.
• Do not route hose over top of back panel.

: When lit for the rst me, the gas grill emits a slight odor. This is a normal temporary condion
caused by the “burn-in” of internal paints and lubricants used in the manufacturing process and does not occur
again. Simply run the main burners on high for approximately one-half hour.
: When searing foods, we recommend preheang the grill by operang all main burners
in the high posion with the lid closed for approximately 10 minutes. Food cooked for short periods of me
(sh, vegetables) can be grilled with the lid open. Cooking with the lid closed will ensure higher, more even
temperatures that can reduce cooking me and cook meat more evenly. Food that has a cooking me longer
than 30 minutes, such as roasts, can 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-heang
to reduce scking. Cooking meat with a high degree of fat content can create are-ups. Either trim the fat or
reduce temperatures to inhibit this. Should a are-up occur, move food away from the ames and reduce the
heat. Leave the lid open. See Your All Season Grill cookbook by Napoleon for more detailed instrucons.
: Place food to be cooked on the grill directly over the heat. This method is generally used for
searing or for foods that do not require prolonged cooking mes such as hamburgers, steaks, chicken pieces,
or vegetables. The food is rst seared to trap-in the juices and avor, and then the temperature is lowered to
nish cooking the food to your preference.
: With one or more burners operang, place food to be cooked on the grill over a burner that
is not operang. The heat circulates around the food, cooking slowly and evenly. Cooking with this method is
much the same as cooking in your oven and is generally used for larger cuts of meats such as roasts, chickens
or turkeys, but can also be used for cooking foods that are prone to are-ups or for smoking foods. Lower
tem
peratures and slower cooking mes result in tender foods.
: The gas grill should be located so that the side burner is protected from
the wind, because the wind will adversely aect its performance. The side burner lid needs to be removed
when cooking. Place the lid in the enclosure door.
The side burner is equipped with a cast iron cooking grid which can be posioned at two dierent heights. The
lower posion can be used like any range top burner, for gravies, soups, etc. The higher posion is for searing
meats. (see instrucons located on side burner lid).
: Remove the warming rack prior to use, the extreme heat will damage the
warming rack. Cooking grids should also be removed if they interfere with the rosserie. The rear burner is
designed to be used in conjuncon with the rosserie kit (included with most rear burner units) available from
your dealer. See the rosserie kit assembly instrucons.
To use the counterbalance - remove the rosserie 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 the arm is facing up. Slide the counterweight in or out to balance the
load and ghten in place. Re-install the motor and begin cooking. Place a metal dish underneath the meat to
collect drippings for basng and naturally delicious gravy. Basng liquid may be added as required. To seal in
juices, rst operate rear burner on high unl 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 rosserie will be done in approximately 1½ hours on
medium to high. See ‘Your all Season Grill’ cookbook by Napoleon for more detailed instrucons.
: The side burner can be used like any stove top burner, for gravies, soups
etc. For best performance, the gas grill should be located with the side burner protected from the wind.

1. Follow the infrared side burner lighng instrucons and operate on high for 5 minutes with the lid opened
or unl the ceramic burners glow red.
2. Place food on grills and cook according to mes listed in the Infrared Grilling Chart.
3. Depending upon your taste, connue cooking over infrared burners on high, medium or low, turning food
frequently, or place food on the main burner area of the grill, close lid, and allow oven temperature to slowly
nish cooking your food.
: The infrared 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 malfuncon.
• Never let water come in direct contact with your ceramic burner.
• Do not allow hard objects to impact the infra red burner.
• Do not allow cold water (rain, sprinkler, hose, etc.) to come in contact with hot ceramic burners. A large
temperature dierenal can cause cracking of the ceramic le.
• Damage caused by failure to follow these steps is not covered by your grill warranty.
Most people don’t realize that the heat source we are most familiar with, our sun, warms the earth using
mainly infrared energy. This is a form of electro-magnec energy with a wavelength just greater than the red
end of the visible light spectrum but less than a radio wave. This energy was discovered in 1800 by Sir William
Herschel who dispersed sunlight into its component colors 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.
Most materials readily absorb infrared energy in a wide range of wavelengths, causing an increase in its
tem
perature. The same phenomenon causes us to feel warmth when we are exposed to sunlight. The infrared
rays from the sun travel through the vacuum of space, through the atmosphere, and penetrate our skin. This
causes increased molecular acvity in the skin, which creates internal fricon and generates heat, allowing us
to feel warmth.
Foods cooked over infrared heat sources are heated by the same principle. Charcoal grilling is our most familiar
choice for infrared cooking. The glowing briquees emit infrared energy to the food being cooked with very
lile drying eect. Any juices or oils that escape from the food drip onto the charcoal and vaporize into smoke
giving the food its delicious grilled taste. The Napoleon infrared burner cooks in the same way. In each burner,
10,000 ports – each with its own ny ame – cause the surface of the ceramic le to glow red. This glow emits
the same type of infrared heat to the food as charcoal, without its hassle or mess. Infrared burners
also pro
vide a more consistently heated area that is far easier to regulate than a charcoal re. For instant
searing, the burners can be set to high, yet they can also be turned down for slower cooking. We all know how
dicult that is on a charcoal re. Tradional gas burners heat the food in a dierent way. The air surrounding
the burner is
heated by the combuson process and then rises to the food being cooked. This generates
lower grill
temperatures that are ideal for more delicate cuisine such as seafood or vegetables, whereas
Napoleon’s in
frared burners produce searing heat for juicier, taser steaks, hamburgers and other meats. For
cooking mes and ps refer to the Infrared Grilling Chart.

: Stainless steel tends to oxidize or stain in the presence of chlorides and suldes, parcularly in coastal
areas and other harsh environments, such as the warm, highly humid atmosphere around pools and hot tubs.
These stains could be perceived as rust, but can be easily removed or prevented. To provide stain prevenon
and removal, wash all stainless steel surfaces every 3-4 weeks or as oen as required with fresh water and/or
stainless steel cleaner.
We recommend this gas grill be thoroughly inspected and serviced annually by a qualied service person.
At all mes keep the gas grill area free from combusble materials, gasoline and other ammable vapors and
liquids. Do not obstruct the ow of venlaon and combuson air. Keep the cylinder enclosure venlaon
openings (located on the cart sides and at the front and back of the boom shelf) free and clear from debris.
: (This must be done by a qualied gas installer.) The air shuer is factory set and
should not need adjusng under normal condions. Under extreme eld condions, adjustments might be
required. When the air shuer is adjusted correctly the ames will be dark blue, pped with light blue and
occasionally yellow.
• With too lile air ow to the burner, the ames are lazy yellow and can produce soot.
• With too much air ow, the ames li erracally and can cause dicules when lighng.
Adjusng the air shuer:
1. Remove cooking grids and sear plates and leave lid open.
2. Loosen air-shuer lock screw located at the mouth of the burner and open or close air shuer as required.
The normal opening sengs are:
Main Tube Burner Propane 5/32” (4mm)

: The burners are made from heavy wall 304 stainless steel, but extreme heat and a corrosive
envi
ronment can cause surface corrosion to occur. This can be removed with a brass wire brush.
Spiders and insects are aracted to the smell of propane and natural gas. The burner is equipped with an
in
sect screen on the air shuer, which reduces the likelihood of insects building nests inside the burner but
: Remove the cooking grids. Use a brass wire brush to clean loose debris from
the casng sides and underneath the lid. Scrape the sear plates with a puy knife or scraper, and use a wire
brush to remove the ash. Remove the sear plates and brush debris from the burners with the brass wire brush.
Sweep all debris from inside the gas grill into the drip pan.
: Accumulated grease is a re hazard. Clean the drip pan frequently (every 4 – 5 uses or as oen as
re
quired) to avoid grease buildup. Grease and excess drippings pass through to the drip pan, located beneath
the gas grill and accumulate in the disposable grease tray below the drip pan. To access the disposable grease
tray or to clean the drip pan, slide the drip pan free of the grill. Never line the drip pan with aluminum foil,
sand or any other material as this could prevent the grease from owing properly. The pan should be scraped
out with a puy knife or scraper. Replace the disposable grease tray every 2 – 4 weeks, depending on gas grill
usage. For supplies, see your Napoleon Gas Grill dealer.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool on any painted, porcelain or stain
less
steel parts of your Napoleon Grill. Doing so will scratch the nish. Exterior grill surfaces should be cleaned with
warm soapy water while the metal is sll warm to the touch. To clean stainless surfaces, use a stainless steel or
a non-abrasive cleaner. Always wipe in the direcon of the grain. Over me, stainless steel parts discolor when
heated, usually to a golden or brown hue. This discoloraon is normal and does not aect the performance of
the grill. Porcelain enamel components must be handled with addional care. The baked-on enamel nish is
glass-like, and will chip if struck. Touch-up enamel is available from your Napoleon Grill dealer.
: The grids and warming rack are best cleaned with a brass wire brush during the
pre-heang period. Steel wool can be used for stubborn stains. It is normal that stainless grids (if equipped)
will discolor permanently from regular usage due to the high temperature of the cooking surface.
: The cast iron cooking grids supplied with your new grill oer superior heat retenon
and distribuon. By regularly seasoning your grids you are adding a protecve coang, which will aid in
resisng corrosion and increase your grids non-sck capabilies.
: Wash the cooking grids by hand with mild dish soap and water to remove any residue from
the manufacturing process (never wash in a dish washer). Rinse thoroughly with hot water and dry completely
with a so cloth. This is important to avoid moisture from entering the cast iron.
: Using a so cloth, spread VEGETABLE SHORTENING over the enre grid surface ensuring all grooves
and corners are covered. Do not use salted fats such as buer or margarine. Pre-heat your grill for 15
minutes, then place the seasoned cooking grids in the grill. Turn the burner control knobs to medium with
the
lid closed. Allow the cooking grids to heat for approximately one-half hour. Turn all the burners to the
“OFF” posion and turn the gas o at the source. Let the cooking grids stand unl cool. This procedure should
be repeated several mes throughout the season, although it is not required for daily use (follow daily usage
procedure below).
: Before pre-heang, and cleaning with a brass wire grill brush, coat the enre top surface of the
cooking grids with VEGETABLE SHORTENING. Pre-heat the grill and then brush away any unwanted residue
with a brass wire brush.
: (upgrade kit available - see replacement parts list). Stainless steel cooking grids
are durable and corrosion resistant. They require less seasoning and maintenance than cast iron cooking grids.
It is recommended that you follow the daily usage procedure listed above although you may nd pre-heang
and cleaning your grids with a wire brush is sucient for your grilling needs.
: To remove the lens from the light housing, insert a at screwdriver p between the lens and the hous
ing
and rock it gently. Do not touch the halogen bulb. The oil from your ngerps will reduce the life of the bulb.
To clean the lens, rst soak it in hot soapy water, then clean with a rag and non abrasive cleaner. To reinstall
the lens, simply snap it back into the housing.
: The control panel text is printed directly on the stainless steel and with proper maintenance will
remain dark and legible. To clean the panel, use only warm soapy water or stainless steel cleaner available from
your Ultra Chef dealer. Never apply abrasive cleaners on any stainless surfaces, especially the printed poron of
the control panel or the prinng will gradually rub o.

does not enrely eliminate the problem. A nest or web can cause the burner to burn with a so yellow or
orange ame or cause a re (ashback) at the air shuer beneath the control panel.
Remove the screw that aaches the burner to the back wall.
Slide the burner back and upwards to remove. Cleaning: Use a exible venturi tube brush to clean the inside
of the burner. Shake any loose debris from the burner through the gas inlet. Check the burner ports and valve
orices for blockages. Burner ports can close over me due to cooking debris and corrosion, use an opened pa
perclip
or the supplied port maintenance bit to clean them. Drill out blocked ports using this drill bit in a small cord
less
drill. The ports are easier to clean if the burner is removed from the grill, but it can also be done with the
burner installed. Do not ex the drill bit when drilling the ports, as this will cause the drill bit to break. This drill
is for burner ports only, not for the brass orices (jets) which regulate the ow into the burner. Take care not to
enlarge the holes. Ensure the insect screen is clean, ght, and free of any lint or other debris.
Reverse the procedure to reinstall the burner. Check that the valve enters the burner when
installing.
Problem Possible Causes Soluon
Low heat / Low ame
when valve turned to
high.
For propane - improper lighng procedure.
For natural gas - undersized supply line.
For both gases - improper preheang.
Ensure lighng procedure is followed
carefully. All gas grill valves must be in the
o posion when the tank valve is turned
on. Turn tank on slowly to allow pressure
to equalize. See lighng instrucons.
Pipe must be sized according to
installaon code.
Preheat grill with both main burners on
high for 10 to 15 minutes.
Excessive are-ups/
uneven heat.
Sear plates installed incorrectly.
Improper preheang.
Excessive grease and ash build on sear plates
and in drip pan.
Ensure sear plates are installed with the
holes towards the front and the slots on
the boom. See assembly instrucons.
Preheat grill with both main burners on
high for 10 to 15 minutes.
Clean sear plates and drip pan regularly.
Do not line pan with aluminum foil. Refer
to cleaning instrucons.
: Clean casngs periodically with warm soapy water. Aluminum will not rust, but high
temperatures and weathering can cause oxidaon to occur on aluminum surfaces. This appears as white spots
on the casngs. To renish these areas, clean rst and sand lightly with ne sandpaper. Wipe the surface to
remove any residue and paint with high temperature barbecue paint. Protect surrounding areas from over-
spray.
Follow the manufacture’s direcons for curing.

light each other.
Plugged ports at back of burner. Clean burner ports. See burner
maintenance instrucons.
“Paint” appears to be
peeling inside lid or hood.
Grease build-up on inside surfaces. This is not a defect. The nish on the lid
and hood is porcelain, and will not peel.
The peeling is caused by hardened grease,
which dries into paint-like shards, that
ake o. Regular cleaning will prevent this.
See cleaning instrucons.
Infrared burner (if
equipped) ashes back
(during operaon the
burner abruptly makes
a loud “whoosh” sound,
followed by a connuous

and build-up. Ports are clogged.
Burner overheated due to inadequate
venlaon (too much grill surface covered by
griddle or pan.)
Cracked ceramic le.
Leaking gasket surrounding the ceramic le, or
a weld failure in the burner housing.
Turn burner o and allow to cool for at
