This unit is designed with some unique features that allow for maximum installaon exibility.
1. The gas supply to the enclosure can come either from underneath or through the side of the enclosure.
2. The burner unit can be used either with or without the enclosure. Simply li the unit out of the enclosure
to separate. A second person is required to guide out the gas hose /regulator when removing the burner
unit from the enclosure. The burner unit can be placed directly on combusble surfaces, but the required
clearances to the sides and top must sll be maintained.

3. The supply can feed either into the side of the burner base, or is fed from below the base. The gas line
needs to be disconnected from the gas valve and reconnected in order to do this. This must be done by
a licensed gas er and the connecons need to be leak tested according to the leak tesng instrucons
before using the unit.
4. The burner unit can be built into a non-combusble enclosure. The control module can be removed from
the burner unit and located up to 12” away from the burner unit. A cap is provided to close the opening in
the side of the burner module. The gas line needs to be disconnected and reconnected in order to do this.
This must be done by a licensed gas er and the connecons need to be leak tested according to the leak
tesng instrucons before using the unit.

Propane Cylinder Specicaons
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 specicaons for LP-gas cylinders of the Naonal Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-b339, Cylinders, Spheres
and Tubes for Transportaon of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable or the Specicaons for
LP- Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportaon (D.O.T.). This appliance has been designed for use
with a 20 lb. (9.1 kg) or 30 lb (13.6 kg) size propane cylinder only (not supplied).
The propane cylinder must be provided with a cylinder connecon device compable with the connecon for
outdoor appliances. The propane cylinder must be provided with a shut-o valve terminang in a propane
cylinder valve type QCC1, and a safety relief device having direct communicaon with the vapor space of the
cylinder. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and the cylinder shall include a
collar to protect the cylinder valve. The cylinder shall incorporate a listed OPD (overll protecon device). Do
not store a spare LP-gas cylinder under or near this appliance. Never ll the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
Use only the pressure regulator and hose assembly provided with this appliance. Replacement pressure
regulators and hose assemblies must be specied by the manufacturer. The regulator supplies a pressure of 11 inches. water
column to the appliance and has a QCC1 type ng. Cylinders to be used with this unit must be supplied with
a QCC1 cylinder valve. A QCC1 cylinder has a posive seang connecon, which will not allow g as ow unl a
posive seal has been achieved. It is also equipped with an excess ow device. In order to aain full ow to
the appliance, the valve must be in the o posion when the cylinder valve is turned on.
WARNING! A re will result if the gas supply hose makes contact with the underside of the appliance.
Gas Hook-Up Instrucons
LP (Propane) Gas
Aach cylinder retaining bracket supplied to the base of the cylinder. Then secure to the surface to which it
sits. Cylinder should be on a level surface.
Cylinder Retaining Bracket
1. Fasten the bracket to the boom of the propane bole using bolt
and nut supplied.
2. Tighten the lag screw into the mounng surface leaving approximately
1/4” of thread above the surface.
3. Slide propane bole into posion so that the bracket slides under
the head of the lag screw.
4. Tighten the lag screw onto the bracket.
5. For fastening to a concrete surface a concrete anchor will be
required. (Not supplied)
Cylinder Connecon: Ensure the gas regulator hose is kink
free. Remove the cap or plug from the cylinder fuel valve.
Insert the black QCC1 regulator nipple onto the QCC1 fuel
valve. Hand ghten clock wise. Do not use tools. Leak test
all joints prior to using the appliance. A leak test must be
performed annually and each me a cylinder is hooked up
or if a part of the gas system is replaced.
If this appliance is to be connected directly to a house
propane gas supply line, follow the instrucons for the
natural gas hook-up.

www.napoleongrills.com
CAUTION!
• Make sure cylinder valve is in its full o posion. (Turn clockwise to stop).
• Check cylinder valve features to ensure it has proper external mang threads. (Cylinder Valve Marked:
USE WITH TYPE 1)
• Inspect hose shipped with the unit for damage. Never aempt to use damaged or plugged equipment.
See your local LP Gas Dealer for repairs.
• When connecng regulator assembly to the cylinder valve, hand ghten black QCC1 nut clockwise to a
posive stop. DO NOT use a wrench to ghten. Use of a wrench may damage the quick closing coupling
nut and result in a hazardous condion.
• Locate the hose out of pathways where people may trip over it or in areas where the hose may be subject
to accidental damage.
• Open cylinder valve fully (counter-clockwise). Turn the on/o valve at the unit slowly to the on posion
and use a soapy water soluon to check all connecons for leaks as indicated in the diagrams before
aempng to light the appliance. If a leak is found, turn tank valve o and do not use the appliance unl
repairs can be made.
Enclosures For LP (Propane) Gas Supply Systems
If you build an enclosure for an LP gas cylinder, follow these recommended specicaons. You must also follow
local codes.
• An enclosure for an LP-gas cylinder shall be venlated by openings at both the upper and lower levels of
the enclosure.
This shall be accomplished by one of the following:
One side of the enclosure shall be completely open;
OR
For an enclosure having four sides, a top, and a boom:
a) At least two venlaon openings shall be provided in the sidewalls of the enclosure, located within 5 in (127 mm)
of the top of the enclosure, equally sized, spaced at 180 degrees, and unobstructed. The opening(s) shall have
a total free area of not less than 1 in2 per lb (14.2 cm2 / kg) of stored fuel capacity.
b) Venlaon opening(s) shall be provided at oor level of the enclosure and shall have a total free area of not
less than 1/2 in2 per lb (7.1 cm2 / kg) of stored fuel capacity. If venlaon openings at oor level are in a side
wall, there shall be at least two openings. The boom of the openings shall be 1 in (25.4 mm) or less from the
oor level and the upper edge no more than 5 in (127 mm) above the oor level. The openings shall be equally
sized, spaced at 180 degrees, and unobstructed.
c) Every opening shall have minimum dimensions so as to permit the entrance of a 1/8 inch (3.2mm) diameter
rod.
Venlaon openings in sidewalls shall not communicate directly with other enclosures of the appliance.
Cylinder valves shall be readily accessible for hand operaon. A door on the enclosure to gain access to the
cylinder valve is acceptable, provided it is non-locking and can be opened without the use of tools. Designs
using a cover to gain access to the cylinder and cylinder valve shall be provided with handles or equivalent at a
minimum of 180 degrees apart to facilitate liing of the cover.
There shall be a minimum clearance of 2 inches (50.8mm) between the lower surface of the oor of the LP gas
supply cylinder enclosure and the ground.
The design of the enclosure shall be such that (1) the LP gas supply cylinder(s) can be connected, disconnected
and the connecons inspected and tested outside the cylinder enclosure; and (2) those connecons which
could be disturbed when installing the cylinder(s) in the enclosure can be leak tested inside the enclosure.
