grilling inStructionS
Main Burner Use
• Preheat the grill before searing food by operating
all main burners on high with the lid closed for
approximately 10 minutes.
• Food cooked for only a short time such as fish and
vegetables can be grilled with the lid open.
• Grilling with the lid closed ensures higher and
consistent temperatures that cook meat more evenly
and can reduce cooking times.
• The cooking grids can be oiled before pre-heating
to reduce sticking when grilling lean meat such as
chicken breast, or pork.
Direct Grilling
This method is often used for searing, or food cooked for only a short
time such as hamburgers, steaks, chicken, or vegetables.
Place food on the cooking grids directly over the heat.
Sear meat first to trap-in the juices and flavor.
Lower the grill temperature to finish cooking to your preference.
Indirect Grilling
This method uses lower temperatures and circulates heat around the
food cooking it slowly and evenly.
Use this method to cook larger cuts of meat, or food prone to flare-ups
such as roast, chicken, or turkey.
Turn one or more burners on and place food on the cooking grid where
there is no flame, or burner on.
Grilling at a lower temperature and slower cooking time results in more
tender meats.
Flame Side Burner (if equipped)
The flame side burner can be used like a stove top to make gravy or
soups.
The recommended pot or pan diameter is 10” (25 cm)
Be sure your grill is in a location protected from the wind, or the
performance of the side burner will be affected.
Grilling at night
Illuminate the control knobs by pushing the lightbulb icon on the control
panel.
• Food that takes longer than 30 minutes such as roasts can be
cooked indirectly with the burner lit opposite the food. See
Indirect Grilling.
• Trim excess fat off meat to prevent flare-ups, or reduce the
temperature of the grill.
• Flare ups – move food away from the flames and reduce the
heat. Leave the lid open.

PRO TIP!
Use a thermometer
to check the internal
temperature of meat
to ensure it is cooked

how to uSe the rear Burner & rotiSSerie
(IF EQUIPPED)
Using the rear burner and spit rod
1. Remove the warming rack prior to using the rear burner and
spit rod. Extreme heat will damage the warming rack.
2. Remove the rotisserie motor from the gas grill.
3. Install the rotisserie motor on the applicable brackets.
Thread the meat you’re cooking onto the spit rod along with
the rotisserie fork. Slide the meat into the rotisserie fork to
hold in place.
4. Slide the second rotisserie fork onto the opposite end of the
spit rod and push into other end of meat until secure.
WARNING! Barbecue sauce and salt can be corrosive and will cause rapid deterioration of the gas grill
components unless cleaned regularly.

is facing up.
8. Slide the counterweight accordingly to balance the load,
and tighten in place.
9. Reinstall motor. Begin cooking.
10. Place a metal dish under the meat to collect the
drippings.
Tips about using the rotisserie:
• Operate the rear burner on high until the meat
browns. Reduce heat. Keep lid closed. Cook
thoroughly.
• Use a thermometer to check the internal
temperature of the meat.
• Roasts and poultry should brown on the outside
and stay tender on the inside.
• Use drippings to baste and make gravy.
• A 3-pound chicken takes approximately 1 ½
hours on medium to high.
How to cook up to 3 chickens
1. Tie or skewer wings to the body of the
chickens.
2. Thread rotisserie fork onto spit rod.
3. Thread first chicken onto spit rod until it
is held into place by the rotisserie fork.
Tighten.
4. Thread next 2 chickens onto spit rod so all
the chickens are close together.
5. Thread second rotisserie fork onto spit rod
and push into chicken until all 3 chickens
are squeezed together tightly. Tighten.

Cleaning Instructions
First time use
1. Wash grids by hand with water and mild dish soap to remove
any residue from the manufacturing process. DO NOT wash in a
dishwasher.
2. Rinse thoroughly with hot water and dry completely with a soft cloth
to prevent moisture from entering the cast iron
Cast Iron grids
• Coat the entire surface of the grids with vegetable shortening NOT
salted fats like butter or margarine.
• Preheat your grill to burn off excess residue.
• Clean grids with a brass wire brush.
• Steel wool can be used for stubborn stains. Use heat resistant
grilling gloves when handling hot grids.
• Season your grids to add a protective coating to prevent corrosion
See Grilling Tips – How to season your grill.
Stainless Steel Grids
• Stainless steel cooking grids can be cleaned by preheating the grill
and using a wire brush to remove residue.
• Stainless steel grids will permanently discolor from regular use
because of high temperatures when grilling.
Infrared side burner
• Most drippings and food particles that fall on the infrared burner
surface incinerates immediately because of the high intensity heat.
• Do not clean the ceramic tile with a wire brush.
• Do not use water or other liquids to clean the burner. An immediate
change in temperature will cause cracking of the ceramic tile.
• Light burner and operate on high for 5-10 minutes to remove any
left-over residue.
Inside of the grill
1. Remove the cooking grids.
2. Use a brass wire brush to clean loose debris from the casting sides
and underneath the lid.
3. Scrape the sear plates with a putty knife or scraper. Use a wire
brush to remove the ash.
4. Remove the sear plates and brush debris from the burners with a
wire brush.
5. Sweep debris from inside the grill into the drip pan.
WARNING! Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when cleaning your grill.
WARNING! Accumulated grease is a fire hazard.
WARNING! Cleaning should only be done when the grill is cool to avoid the possibility of
burns.

Napoleon.com | Rogue Series Grills Cleaning | 15
Cleaning
WARNING! Ensure all burners are turned off and grill is cool before cleaning. Do not use oven cleaner to clean any
part of the grill. Do not put cooking grids or any other parts of the grill in a self-cleaning oven to clean. Clean the
grill in an area where cleaning solution won’t harm decks, lawns, or patios.
WARNING! Barbecue sauce and salt can be corrosive and will cause rapid deterioration of the gas grill
components unless cleaned regularly.
Drip pan
• Grease and excess drippings collect in the drip pan
located beneath the grill and accumulate in the
disposable grease tray below the drip pan.
• Never line the drip pan with aluminum foil, sand or
any other material. This can prevent grease from
flowing properly.
• Clean frequently to avoid grease build-up:
approximately every 2 to 4 uses.
Cleaning steps:
1. Slide the drip pan from the grill to access the
disposable grease tray or to clean the drip pan.
2. Scrape the drip pan out with a putty knife or
scraper.
3. Replace the disposable grease tray every 2 or 3
weeks depending ongrill usage.
4. See your Napoleon Grill dealer for supplies.
Control panel
ONLY use warm soapy water or stainless steel cleaner.
The control panel text is printed directly on the stainless
steel and will gradually rub off if abrasive cleaners are
used. Proper cleaning of the control panel will ensure text
remains dark and legible.
Aluminum castings
Clean with warm soapy water. Aluminum doesn’t rust, but
high temperatures and weathering can cause oxidization
on the surface of the castings that look like white spots.
See Maintenance Instructions section for directions on how
to repair and paint oxidized aluminium.
Outside grill surface
• Only use a stainless steel non-abrasive cleaner.
Abrasive cleaners or steel wool will scratch the finish.
• Always wipe in the direction of the grain.
• Handle porcelain enamel components with care.
• The baked-on enamel finish is glass-like and will chip
if struck.
• Touch up enamel is available at your Napoleon Grill
dealer.
• Stainless steel parts discolor overtime when heated
and will turn a golden or brown hue. This is normal
and won’t affect the performance of the grill.

Cleaning
Insect screen and burner ports
Spiders and insects are attracted to the smell of propane and natural
gas. Napoleon has equipped the burner with an insect screen on the
air shutter. This reduces the likelihood of insects building nests inside
the burner, but doesn’t eliminate the problem.
A nest or web can cause the burner flame to burn a soft yellow or
orange and cause a fire or flashback at the air shutter underneath the
control panel.
1. Remove the screw (s) that attaches the burner to the back wall of
the gas grill. Slide the burner back and upwards to remove.
2. Use a flexible venturi tube brush to clean the inside of the
burner.
3. Shake loose debris from the burner through the gas inlet.
4. Check the burner ports and valve orifices for blockages: burner
ports can close over time because of cooking debris and
corrosion.
5. Use an opened paperclip, or the supplied port maintenance bit to
clean burner ports.
6. Drill out blocked ports using the supplied drill bit in a small
cordless drill: this can be done with the burner attached to the
grill, but it’s easier if removed from the grill.
7. Do not flex the drill bit when drilling the ports because the drill
bit will break.
8. This drill bit is for burner ports NOT for brass orifices that
regulate the flow of the burner.
9. Do not enlarge the holes
10. Ensure the insect screen is clean, tight, and free of any lint or
other debris.
11. Reverse the procedure to reinstall the burner.
12. Ensure the valve enters the burner when installing.
13. Replace sear plate mount and tighten screws to complete
reinstallation.
WARNING! It is very important the valve/orifice enters the burner tube when reinstalling the burner after cleaning
and before lighting your gas grill, or a fire or explosion could occur.

IMPORTANT! This must be done by a qualified gas installer
• The air shutter is factory set and should not require adjusting
under normal conditions. Adjustments might be required under
extreme field conditions.
• The flames of the air shutter will be dark blue, tipped with light
blue and occasionally yellow when adjusted correctly.
• Too little air flow to the burner will produce soot and lazy yellow
flames.
• Too much air flow to the burner will cause flames to lift erratically
and cause igniting difficulties.
Adjusting the air shutter
1. Remove cooking grids and sear plates. Leave lid open.
2. You may have to open the cabinet door or remove the top drawer
(if equipped) to access the air shutter screw located at the mouth
of the burner.

Maintenance
StainleSS in harSh environmentS
Stainless steel oxidizes or stains in the presence of chlorides and
sulfides, especially in coastal regions, warm and highly humid areas,
and around pools and hot tubs. These stains look like rust, but they
can be easily removed or prevented. Wash stainless and chrome
surfaces every 3-4 weeks.
Burner maintenance
• Extreme heat and a corrosive environment can cause surface
corrosion to occur even though the burner is made from heavy wall
304 stainless steel.
Maintenance and protection of infrared burners
Your infrared burners are designed to provide a long service life, but
you must be careful to prevent cracking of their ceramic surfaces
Fractures will cause the burners to malfunction.
IMPORTANT! Damage caused by failure to follow these
instructions is NOT covered by your grill warranty.
Steps to avoid damaging ceramic surfaces
1. Never douse a flame or control flare-ups with water.
2. Do not allow cold water (rain, sprinkler, hose etc.) to come in
contact with hot ceramic burners. An immediate change in
temperature will cause cracking of the ceramic tile.
3. A ceramic burner that becomes wet before use will create steam
when operated later and produce pressure that will crack the
ceramic.
4. Repeated soaking of the ceramic can cause it to swell and expand
producing pressure that will make the ceramic crack and crumble.
5. Inspect the ceramic for possible water soaking if you find standing
water in the grill. Remove the burner if the ceramic is wet. Turn it
upside down to drain the excess water. Bring ceramic indoors to
dry thoroughly.
6. Do not allow hard objects to impact the burner. Take care when
inserting or removing cooking grids and using accessories.
Impaired ventilation of hot air from the grill
• Hot air must have a way to escape the grill for the burners to
function properly.
• The burners can become deprived of oxygen if the hot air is not
allowed to escape causing them to back-flash. The ceramic can
crack if this occurs repeatedly.
Hose Maintenance
• Inspect the hose before each use. Do not use the hose if there is
evidence of excessive abrasions, melting or cuts.
• If the hose is damaged, replace it with a regulator and hose
assembly specifically recommended by Napoleon.
!
WARNING! Turn off gas at the source and disconnect the unit before servicing.
WARNING! Maintenance should only be done when the grill is cool to avoid the possibility of burns.
WARNING! A leak test must be performed annually and when any component of the gas train is replaced, or
when the smell of gas is present.
!
SAFETY
FIRST
Never cover more than
75% of the cooking
surface with solid
metal i.e. griddle or
large pan.

Troubleshooting
Gas flow.
• Low heat or low flame when valve is turned to high
• Burners burn with yellow flame, accompanied by the smell of gas
• Flames lift away from burner, accompanied by the smell of gas, and possible lighting difficulties.
• Burner output on HIGH, but setting is LOW. Rumbling noise and fluttering blue flame at burner surface.
Possible causes Solution
Propane – improper lighting procedure
Ensure lighting procedure is followed carefully. All gas valves must
be in the OFF position when the tank valve is turned on. Turn tank
on slowly to allow pressure to equalize. See Operation – Lighting
Instructions
Natural gas – undersized supply line. Pipe must be sized according to installation code.
Leaking gasket surrounding the ceramic tile, or a weld
failure in the burner housing.
Allow burner to cool and inspect very closely for cracks. Contact
your authorized Napoleon dealer to order replacement burner
assembly if any cracks are found.
Both gas propane and natural gas – improper preheating. Preheat grill with both main burners on high for 10 to 15 minutes.
Possible spider web or other debris.
Thoroughly clean nest or webs out of your burner orifice by
removing it and following instructions in this manual.
See “INSECT SCREEN AND BURNER PORT” on page 16.
Improper air shutter adjustment.
Open or close air shutter slightly according to the instructions on
this manual. See “ADJUSTING AIR SHUTTER” on page 17.
IMPORTANT! This must be done by a qualified gas installer.
Lack of gas Check gas level in propane cylinder.
Supply hose is pinched. Reposition supply hose as necessary.
Propane regulator in low flow state.
Ensure igniting procedure is followed carefully. All gas valves must
be in the OFF position when the tank valve is turned on. Turn tank
on slowly to allow pressure to equalize. See Operation – Igniting
Instructions.
Peeling paint, Noises and Flare-ups.
• Humming regulator
• Excessive flare-ups and uneven heat
Possible causes Solution
Normal humming noise on hot days.
This isn’t a defect. It’s caused by internal vibrations in the regulator
and doesn’t affect the performance or safety of the gas grill.
Humming regulators WILL NOT be replaced.
The cylinder valve was opened too quickly. Open cylinder valve slowly
Sear plates installed incorrectly. Ensure sear plates are installed with holes towards the front, and
the slots on the bottom. See Assembly Instructions Guide.
Improper heating. Preheat grill with both main burners on high for 10 to 15 minutes.
Excessive grease and ash build on sear plates and in drip
pan.
Clean sear plates and drip pan regularly. Do not line pan with
aluminium foil. Refer to Cleaning Instructions.
• Paint appears to be peeling inside lid or hood
Possible causes Solution
Grease build-up on inside surfaces.
This is not a defect. The finish 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 flake off. Regular cleaning will
prevent this. See cleaning instructions.
